Katz noted that US backing is crucial to convince neighboring countries to accept Palestinian refugees. He indicated that while the administration previously discussed a US takeover of the Gaza Strip involving the removal of Palestinians, the plan has been frozen rather than canceled. Katz stated that Egypt has lobbied Washington to oppose the forced removal, but the migration remains a be-discussed topic. Katz emphasized that the migration is in everyone's interest and that Israel is prepared to execute the plan once the US settles on a destination for the refugees.
