Dozens of Gazans, aided by Israel, reportedly left for Romania and Italy as Israel renewed strikes on Hamas.
In what may be a first step toward the realization of US President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate the population of Gaza, some 70 Gazans, aided by Israel, departed on Wednesday for Europe via Ramon Airport in Eilat, according to reports in Israeli media.
The Gazans were reportedly headed to Romania and Italy, according to Srugim. Israel Hayom noted that a Romanian Air Force plane on Wednesday afternoon landed at Ramon to facilitate the departure.
Israeli officials assess that the Gazans will prefer to settle abroad once they experience the improvement in conditions, Srugim said, citing Israel’s Channel 12. They or their families reportedly hold foreign citizenship that would facilitate absorption.
