Trump Proposes Radical Plan to Relocate Gaza Residents Amid Ceasefire
The former president's controversial idea includes moving Gazans to neighboring countries or even creating a new island as a permanent solution to the conflict.
- Donald Trump has suggested relocating Gaza's population, citing the region's devastation and ongoing conflict, as part of a broader peace strategy.
- His plan includes proposals to resettle Gazans in neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan, though these nations have expressed reluctance to accept refugees due to security concerns.
- Trump has floated the idea of constructing a new island or using uninhabited islands as a permanent home for displaced Gazans, framing it as a humanitarian and environmental solution.
- Hamas leaders have cautiously welcomed dialogue with the Trump administration, crediting him with ending the 15-month Gaza-Israel war but expressing skepticism about his long-term intentions.
- Critics warn that Trump's support for Israel's territorial claims, including its 'biblical right' to the West Bank, undermines prospects for lasting peace and stability in the region.
