Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday there was nothing wrong in Donald Trump's idea of displacing Palestinians from Gaza after the U.S. president's proposal drew international criticism.

Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the idea of Gaza Palestinians choosing to leave the territory temporarily, a toned-down version of the proposal President Donald Trump had pushed in a meeting with the Israeli prime minister one day earlier.

Palestinian families expressed shock and outrage at President Trump’s proposal, which he made at a news conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.
