Benjamin Netanyahu said he was co-operating with the US on a "common strategy" for the Palestinian territory after a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem on Sunday.

The talks come after US President Donald Trump proposed a US takeover Gaza and removal of the two million Palestinians there to neighbouring countries.

The UN has warned that any forced displacement of civilians from occupied territory is strictly prohibited under international law and "tantamount to ethnic cleansing".

America's top diplomat said President Trump's plan may have "shocked and surprised" people, but it took "courage" to propose an alternative to "tired ideas" of the past.
