Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised U.S. President Donald Trump's contentious proposal to relocate Palestinians from the conflict-ravaged Gaza Strip, asserting Israel's readiness to "do the job." In a Fox News interview aired on Saturday, February 9, 2025, as he concluded his Washington visit, Netanyahu defended Trump's plan, which has elicited widespread criticism across the Middle East and globally. He described the proposal as "the first fresh idea in years" with the potential to transform Gaza, emphasizing that it embodies a "correct approach" to the territory's future.
