Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, also reported as Israel Katz in some sources, has proposed the construction of an artificial island to serve as an alternative homeland for Palestinians. This suggestion was made during a meeting with European counterparts, amidst EU calls for a Gaza ceasefire and a high-stakes crisis summit. The idea of relocating the population of Gaza to the island was presented, generating dissatisfaction from Brussels and criticism from Hamas Senior leader, Osama Hamdan. The Guardian reported that the suggestion also included the island being controlled by Israel, which would monitor aid into Gaza. EU foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, expressed irritation with Israel's handling of the war in Gaza and the disconnect between Israel and the international community's expectations for a ceasefire and progress towards a two-state solution.
