Trump Declares Palestinians Cannot Return to Gaza in His Proposal
Trump plans to take over Gaza, rejecting the Palestinian right of return. He proposes resettlement in Egypt and Jordan, sparking international condemnation.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that his plan to "take over Gaza" excludes the right of return for over 2 million Palestinians, claiming they have "no alternative" but to leave due to the destruction caused by Israel’s military campaign.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump described Gaza as a "real estate development for the future" and proposed resettling Palestinians in Egypt and Jordan—despite both nations rejecting the idea. He suggested building up to six permanent settlements outside Gaza, arguing they would provide "much better housing" for displaced Palestinians.
Trump’s remarks were met with support from Israel’s far-right and some U.S. evangelical groups but condemned internationally. UN investigator Navi Pillay called the plan a violation of international law, labeling it "ethnic cleansing." The U.S. government has not formally discussed how to implement Trump’s proposal.
