Netanyahu defends the proposal, which has been met with condemnation and dismay around the world.

I think President Trump's proposal is the first fresh idea in several years and has the potential to change everything in Gaza, says Netanyahu, adding that it is a correct approach to a future Palestinian territory.

Trump has never said that he wants American soldiers to do the job. You know what? We do it.

He thinks that one should move forward with the proposal and believes that the big problem will be to find a country that wants to receive the Gazans. In order to return, the Palestinians must "renounce terrorism".

Everyone describes Gaza as the world's largest outdoor prison, says Netanyahu.

Get the population out, let them leave. Not force them with violence, no ethnic cleansing – just get the people out of this, which other countries and world improvers say is an outdoor prison. Why are you keeping them captive?
