Netanyahu reaffirms commitment to Trump's Gaza relocation plan

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed his commitment to Donald Trump's plan for Gaza, which includes relocating the Palestinian population. He stated that after the conflict, there would be no Hamas or Palestinian Authority in Gaza. Netanyahu's comments followed discussions with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who supports Israel's military objectives in Gaza. Critics argue that the plan may involve coercion, despite Netanyahu's insistence on voluntary emigration. In related developments, Israeli forces withdrew from southern Lebanon under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. The Lebanese army has begun deploying in areas previously held by Israeli troops, while calls for disarming Hezbollah have increased amid the ongoing reconstruction efforts in Lebanon.
