Donald Trump reignited global controversy by reiterating his plan for the US to 'own' Gaza, proposing the relocation of its two million inhabitants to Egypt or Jordan. Trump's proposal, met with widespread condemnation and dismissed as 'ridiculous' by Hamas, involves the US rebuilding Gaza as the 'Riviera of the Middle East' and drew criticism from European countries. While White House officials attempted to clarify that the relocation would be 'temporary', Palestinian leaders remain resolute in their desire to remain in their homeland. Meanwhile, Israel's defense minister suggested that nations criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza have a 'legal obligation' to accept Palestinian residents, further escalating tensions.
Donald Trump has said Gaza will be 'turned over' to the United States by Israel as he doubled down on his plan for America to 'own' the Palestinian territory. The US president attracted global condemnation on Tuesday when he said his country would take over Gaza and develop it into the 'Riviera of the Middle East'.
His comments came after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to row back on some of his remarks yesterday. She told reporters that Gazans would be 'temporarily relocated' while the territory was rebuilt, not permanently displaced.
