Trump Claims US Plans to Control Gaza Strip
Palestinian leaders, including Mahmud Abbas and Hamas, strongly rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to "clean out" Gaza by relocating its residents to neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan. They vowed to resist any plans for forced displacement, with the Arab League and other regional leaders also condemning the idea as ethnic cleansing. The proposal comes amid ongoing tensions, hostage-prisoner swaps, and a fragile truce between Israel and Hamas.
Trump Proposes U.S. Control Over Gaza Strip, Faces Strong Opposition
Former U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. should "clean out" Gaza and potentially take control of the territory, sparking outrage among Palestinian leaders and other nations. Trump also mentioned discussions with Jordan and Egypt about relocating Palestinians from Gaza, an idea welcomed by some Israeli officials but condemned internationally.
Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas and Hamas strongly rejected Trump’s proposal, vowing to resist any plans for forced displacement. The Arab League, Jordan, and Egypt also opposed the idea, labeling it as ethnic cleansing and a violation of Palestinian rights.
This comes amid ongoing conflict, a fragile truce, and disputes over hostage-prisoner swaps between Israel and Hamas. The war has displaced almost all of Gaza's 2.4 million residents, with over 47,000 Palestinians killed since October 2023, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
