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.

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

Now that's a man whose teeth need to voluntarily depart from his mouth

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?

Cattle cars, obviously.

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

If they want to be voluntarily departed.

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
