Washington, D.C( The COW News Digital)A controversial plan to evacuate Palestinians from Gaza has come to light following a high-level meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. The leaders reportedly discussed rejecting the two-state solution and proposed relocating Gaza’s population to neighboring countries.
During the meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu firmly dismissed the possibility of a two-state solution, calling it a threat to Israel’s existence. “A sovereign Palestinian state could become a platform for Israel’s destruction,” he stated. However, he added that Palestinians deserve limited self-governance, but key matters such as security must remain under Israeli control.
President Trump signaled support for Netanyahu’s stance and hinted at progress on the Gaza relocation plan, stating, “We’re getting tremendous cooperation from surrounding nations—something positive is coming.” Though he offered no specific details, sources confirmed that talks with neighboring states about absorbing displaced Palestinians are already underway.
Netanyahu went further to assert that his government, with U.S. support, is actively exploring options to relocate Gaza residents. “If Palestinians wish to leave, they should be allowed to. We are looking for a better future for them,” he said.
This conversation unfolds as regional diplomacy intensifies in the wake of the Israel-Iran war ceasefire. Trump also confirmed his administration is open to direct negotiations with Tehran, indicating that U.S. sanctions on Iran might be lifted “at the right time.”
Another dramatic moment during the summit was Netanyahu presenting Trump with a formal letter nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize, which the former U.S. president received with visible enthusiasm.
Outside the White House, however, hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in protest. They called for an immediate halt to U.S. arms shipments to Israel and demanded Netanyahu be held accountable for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The proposed Gaza evacuation plan has already triggered international criticism. Human rights groups and Middle Eastern analysts warn that forced displacement of Palestinians could constitute ethnic cleansing and further destabilize the region.
As both Trump and Netanyahu double down on their anti-two-state rhetoric, the future of the Palestinian people remains increasingly uncertain—caught between geopolitical maneuvering and a shrinking space for self-determination.
