Trump had earlier proposed moving Palestinians out of Gaza, sparking uproar from leaders in the Middle East and beyond.
Trump announced his proposal for Gaza to audible gasps on Tuesday at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first foreign leader to meet him at the White House since his inauguration.
Israel's Defence Minister has ordered the military to prepare for the "voluntary" departure of Palestinians from Gaza, aligning with US President Trump's controversial proposal for their relocation.
Katz welcomed what he characterized as Trump's "bold plan" for Gaza residents to leave the territory, which has been devastated by Israeli ground and air attacks targeting Hamas militants.
