American Jewish Leader: If Some Gazans Want Out, Why Not Let Them Leave?
(ILTV-Ynet News) Maayan Hoffman - U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to encourage Gazans to relocate is "a breath of fresh air" and "a positive thing," William Daroff, CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told ILTV. He asked, "Why is Egypt somehow able to put up a big wall and say that the Gazans must stay in harm's way?" Citing polling data from before Oct. 7, Daroff noted that more than 40% of Gazans preferred to live elsewhere. "Why not encourage them? Why not incentivize them?" He added, "I'm very much a supporter of...the U.S. and Israel having no daylight between them. I think that it makes Israel stronger and makes America stronger for our adversaries to see that we speak as one." He concluded that Oct. 7 had clarified for many people "what's important, who's important, and who they can count upon."
