Former US President Donald Trump has once again made headlines with his controversial proposal for the United States to take control of Gaza, aiming to redevelop the war-torn region with the help of Middle Eastern nations.
Trump’s Vision for Gaza
During a media interaction, Trump outlined his plan to rebuild Gaza, ensuring that the Palestinian resistance group Hamas would not be allowed to return. He described Gaza as a “demolition site” and suggested that displaced Palestinians could be relocated to other countries.

His remarks align with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision, as both leaders proposed transforming Gaza into a new site for development. Israel welcomed the plan, calling it a revolutionary and creative vision for peace.
Strong Opposition and Criticism
Despite Israel’s support, Trump’s proposal has sparked widespread criticism:
- Hamas condemned his remarks, calling them “absurd”, stating that Gaza is Palestinian land and not for sale.
- Several Arab nations rejected the plan, criticizing it as a violation of Palestinian sovereignty and a departure from decades of US foreign policy.
- Critics accused Trump of treating a humanitarian crisis as a business venture, further intensifying backlash.
Upcoming Talks and Future Steps
The proposal is expected to be a key topic in Trump’s upcoming meeting with the King of Jordan, where regional leaders are likely to express their concerns. The US administration is using the plan to push for broader regional discussions, encouraging other nations to propose their own solutions.
Despite the strong opposition, Trump’s administration remains committed to pursuing its vision for Gaza’s redevelopment.
