Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has ordered his country’s army to prepare a plan allowing for the “voluntary departure of Gaza’s population”, Haaretz reports.
The order comes after US President Donald Trump’s remarks on Tuesday, which expressed strong support for the mass expulsion of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to Egypt and Jordan.

I make my money as a street artist collecting voluntary donations.
My best performance is putting a gun to their head and saying my catchphrase "give me all your money or I shoot".

The very stretched use of the word "voluntary" here also leads one to inspect the meaning of "departure".

Can reporters ask what will happen if they don't voluntarily leave?

And in return, Hamas will continue to prepare the 'voluntary departure' of IOF goons from this mortal coil.

What about a well paid reconstruction of the turistic attractions they're planning to build in Gaza?
I'm sure Palestinians would be happy to rebuild their houses pretending it will be THEIR garden of Eden
