That's the direction things must go, said the Prime Minister to the security cabinet in Israel on Wednesday.

Netanyahu talks about a "large number" of Palestinians who will emigrate voluntarily, writes The Jerusalem Post. However, this has been dismissed by many experts and analysts. In practice, it would likely involve forced deportation, which constitutes a war crime.

The statement in the security cabinet comes shortly after Netanyahu's meeting at the White House with US President Donald Trump, whose widely criticized post-war plan for Gaza involves "relocating" all Palestinians in Gaza and turning the area into the "Riviera of the Middle East".

Netanyahu does not specify which two countries Israel is currently negotiating with. Previously, the Prime Minister has made repeated but unsuccessful attempts to persuade neighboring countries Egypt and Jordan.

In March, the AP news agency reported that the US and Israel had contacted several countries in East Africa to get them to accept Gaza's Palestinians.
