Israel is convinced US President Donald Trump is serious about encouraging Gazans to emigrate voluntarily, a senior Israeli official says.

“After tonight, I am [convinced],” says the official.

“The plan is alive, What is needed is operational coordination, not only the aims, but how we achieve it. And that is what we discussed. The desire is there.”
