"Donald, this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship," tweets former national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir after US President Donald Trump talks at length about his desire for Palestinians to be entirely and permanently relocated out of Gaza during his Oval Office meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Ben Gvir has long campaigned in favor of "voluntary migration" for Palestinians from Gaza, which critics have branded as a euphemism for ethnic cleansing. Notably, though, Trump came out against the idea of Israel establishing settlements in Gaza, which is one of the main reasons why Ben Gvir has pushed for Palestinians there to leave.
