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.

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

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".

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

A referendum? Oh, they have a chance to show democracy!

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

“Voluntarily leave or be murdered where you stand.”

It will be all but voluntary.

Well, it is the only part of the armistace they haven't violated yet.

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
