U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed resettling Palestinians and placing Gaza under U.S. control, envisioning it as a luxury resort. The plan, announced in Washington alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has drawn sharp criticism from world leaders and human rights groups.
🔹 What Did Trump Propose?
At a press conference, Trump outlined his vision to demolish Gaza’s remaining structures and redevelop it into what he called the "Riviera of the Middle East." His plan includes:
U.S. 'ownership' of Gaza.
Resettling Palestinians in Egypt and Jordan.
Turning the enclave into a Riviera of the Middle East for international visitors.
🔹 How Did the U.S. Respond?
Trump's press secretary stated "no U.S. boots on the ground."
She said Palestinian relocations would be "temporary."
Trump sees U.S. involvement as a way to "ensure stability."
🔹 Global Reaction:
Arab nations—Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia—rejected the plan outright.
Germany, Brazil, and the United Nations condemned it, calling it a violation of international law.
Human rights groups warned of ethnic cleansing.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu welcomed the idea.
🔹 What Are Gazans Saying?
Many vowed to stay, rejecting displacement.
Some likened the plan to the 1948 Nakba, when Palestinians were forced from their homes.
🔹 The Reality in Gaza
60% of buildings have been damaged or destroyed.
The war has left millions displaced and infrastructure in ruins.
Clearing rubble is complicated by unexploded ordnance and hazardous debris.
As opposition mounts, Trump's proposal has deepened global divisions on the future of Gaza.
