Netanyahu praises Trump's bold vision for Gaza at Rubio meeting

Loading player...
Israel's prime minister has said he is working to make US President Donald Trump's
plan to remove and resettle Gaza's population "a reality". Benjamin Netanyahu said
he was co-operating with the US on a "common strategy" for the Palestinian territory
after a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem on Gaza and
removal of the two million Palestinians there to neighbouring countries. The UN has

warned that any forced displacement of civilians from occupied territory is strictly
prohibited under international law and "tantamount to ethnic cleansing". Phemelo
unpacks this and more with Director of Research at Auwal Socio- economic
Research Institute, Angelo Fick.
