Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he is “committed” to US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, which involves displacing more than two million inhabitants of the Palestinian territory, AFP reports.

“Just as I have committed to, on the day after the war in Gaza, there will be neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority. I am committed to US President Trump’s plan for the creation of a different Gaza,” Netanyahu said in a statement.
