Israel has completed the necessary preparations to enable the migration of Gaza residents - if countries are found that will absorb them.
According to a report by Ariel Kahane in Israel Hayom, security sources say that there is a country that has already expressed interest in accepting construction workers from Gaza, but the international uproar over the issue has caused it to freeze its work on the subject for now.
At the behest of Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, a mechanism has been built in recent weeks, designed to create a situation that will allow 2,500 Gazans to leave the Strip every day.

More than 2 million Palestinians currently live in the Gaza Strip.
Immigration to the target countries can be done by sea, with transit in Israel taking place at the port of Ashdod. Another route, by air, will be from Ramon Airport.
It should be noted that this route has been operating for several months for wounded people who have left the Gaza Strip, and so far about 1,500 Gaza residents are known to have left it this way for third countries.
Another departure route is the Rafah crossing. According to what is known in Israel, about 35,000 people have been evacuated from the Gaza Strip to Egypt through this crossing since the start of the war. In many cases, those leaving continued from Egypt to other destinations in the world.
Israel wants to allow as many Gaza residents as possible to leave the Strip. Therefore, the policy is to also allow family members of the sick and wounded to leave with them to other countries.
In the vast majority of cases, those who left Gaza were absorbed into Arab countries, but there are also those who have already emigrated to Romania and Italy with the intention of never returning.
The 'Reservists - Generation of Victory' movement also published a blueprint for the voluntary emigration of Gaza residents, based on the principles of international law.
The plan proposes the evacuation of 1.7 million Gazans via air, sea, and land routes to various receiving countries around the world, including Egypt, Libya, the Gulf states, and other countries.
The initiative includes full funding for the exit from Gaza, a temporary housing solution, and a financial grant for migrants, at an estimated cost of up to $100 billion - less than the cost of rebuilding the Strip.
Maj. (res.) Gilad Ach, chairman of the movement: "We are presenting a systematic plan to remove the ongoing threat to Israeli citizens from the Gaza Strip... A one-time opportunity has now been created to exploit the window of opportunity opened by the current American administration.".
