What level of support do Israelis have for plans to relocate Palestinians from Gaza?
According to a recent poll mentioned by CBS News contributor Robert Berger, approximately 68% of Israelis support the plan to relocate 2 million Palestinians out of Gaza. This proposal has received endorsement from Prime Minister Netanyahu, who called it a 'remarkable idea that should be pursued.' The Israeli government is developing an alternative approach they're calling 'voluntary relocation' or 'evacuation.' This plan would create pathways for Palestinians in Gaza who wish to leave the territory to emigrate elsewhere. This initiative reflects significant Israeli public support for Palestinian relocation strategies following ongoing regional conflict.
