President Trump's proposal to move all Palestinians out of Gaza has taken on a life of its own in Israel.
Israeli officials say they're working on a plan to create a migration authority to help relocate the vast majority of Gaza's two million people. A senior Cabinet minister, Bezalel Smotrich, says Israel is working with the Trump administration to locate countries that would take them in. Surveys suggest the majority of Israelis are open to the idea.
Whether it will actually happen is another matter. Dozens of Arab and Muslim-majority countries have rejected the notion as ethnic cleansing. Trump said he would not force the idea after Egypt and Jordan rejected it.
"We paid Jordan and Egypt a lot — billions of dollars a year, and I was a little surprised they'd say that, but they did," Trump said on Fox News Radio on Feb. 21. "I think that's the plan that really works. But I'm not forcing it. I'm just going to sit back and recommend it."
