During a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump suggested that the U.S. should take long-term ownership of Gaza and relocate its residents temporarily. This proposal has been criticized as a violation of international law and likened to ethnic cleansing. The suggestion to remove Palestinians from Gaza has sparked controversy and historical trauma among Palestinians who have previously been forcibly displaced. The implementation of such a plan seems unlikely due to logistical challenges, such as deploying American troops to the war-torn region, as well as legal constraints. Some experts speculate that Trump’s comments may be part of a broader strategy to promote Israeli-Saudi normalization talks in exchange for no annexation. While Saudi Arabia has reiterated its position on normalization with Israel, the statement by Trump is seen as a show of support for Netanyahu and could help him in future negotiations with Hamas. Netanyahu, who has expressed a desire to resume war against Hamas, is likely to benefit from Trump’s comments, which align with his own views. Critics view Trump’s proposal as a dangerous and legally dubious idea that could have significant consequences for the people of Gaza.
