Israel aiding Gazans to relocate from the Gaza Strip under newly-established Defense Ministry agency, charged with implementing President Donald Trump’s Gaza resettlement plan.
A growing number of Gazans are emigrating permanently from the Gaza Strip and resettling abroad, according emigration data, as Israel works to implement President Donald Trump’s plan to resettle the coastal enclave’s entire population of roughly 2,000,000.
On Saturday night, the government voted to formally establish a new authority within the Defense Ministry to help facilitate mass migration by Gazans out of the Gaza Strip to third-party countries, coordinating travel through Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip to the Port of Ashdod and Ramon Airport.
While the new authority has yet to begin operations, the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has already helped facilitate the departure of hundreds of Gazans in recent weeks.
