Deportation is removal from a sovereign territory, which Gaza is not.

I don't know if "resettlement" can be applied to a group that has been ethnically cleansed. Made into permanent refugees from their homeland - again - is more apt.

Resettlement however, would apply to the masses of Jewish Israeli settlers who would take over Gaza in some biblical/religious "coming home" scenario. There were settlers in Gaza up until 2005 or so, when Israel made them leave Gaza. So - resettlement for them.
