Washington, D.C. – Former President Donald Trump unveiled a controversial new plan for the Middle East on Tuesday, suggesting that the United States take control of the Gaza Strip while relocating its Palestinian population to neighboring countries. The remarks, made during a White House press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have ignited widespread debate and concern.
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump declared. He framed the proposal as a bold new approach aimed at stabilizing the war-torn region, insisting that it was time for fresh thinking.
The plan, which envisions large-scale job creation and economic revitalization, would allegedly spare Palestinians from the hardships of yet another costly rebuilding effort. However, critics argue that forced relocation would violate human rights and exacerbate regional tensions.
Palestinian leaders and international organizations have already expressed strong opposition to the idea, warning that such a move would further destabilize the region. Meanwhile, Netanyahu has not publicly commented on whether Israel would support Trump’s vision.
As global reactions pour in, it remains to be seen whether this proposal gains traction or is dismissed as another contentious chapter in Middle East diplomacy.
