Is Trump backing off the relocation plan?

During a press conference today (Wednesday), Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Gaza is uninhabitable - but said it must be "rebuilt" with the aid of Arab partners, and made no mention of the plan to relocate a significant part of the Gazan population elsewhere.

The voluntary relocation plan attracted a great deal of attention and criticism when Trump raised it and the United States worked toward achieving it. Israel also joined those efforts, even establishing a Defense Ministry administration charged with facilitating such departures.

Now it seems the President is backing off of the plan, as he has made no mention of it in weeks.
