paragraph_text: Proposed expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip
  
  On 4 February 2025, Trump announced an intention to "take over" and "own" the Gaza Strip. Trump proposed that Gaza's 2 million Palestinians be permanently relocated from the Strip. This plan was supported by Netanyahu but condemned by human rights experts as a violation of international law. The 18 March attacks were done with Trump's approval.
  
  The Israeli Nachala organization had repeatedly called for Netanyahu to defeat Hamas and expel Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
