After a dozen government ministers took part in a conference last night calling to resettle Gaza, a report claims that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has promised the US that won’t happen on his watch.

According to a report in Axios, Gallant told US officials last week he wouldn’t allow settlements to be built in Gaza, citing four US and Israeli officials.
