US State Department says it does not support plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza

The U.S. State Department told Al Jazeera that Washington does not support any plan to expel Palestinians, rejecting proposals that have been floated in recent weeks concerning the relocation of Palestinian residents from parts of the West Bank. In an interview with the network, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the United States “has no intention of endorsing or facilitating any forced displacement” and emphasized that any solution must be negotiated through direct talks between the parties involved, in line with international law and existing peace frameworks.

The statement comes amid heightened diplomatic activity after Israeli officials suggested a series of measures that could lead to large‑scale evictions in contested areas. While the United States continues to back a two‑state solution, officials reiterated that any approach involving mass expulsions would be inconsistent with U.S. policy and could undermine regional stability. The State Department’s clarification aims to signal Washington’s stance as the international community watches for further developments.
