Trump Proposes U.S. Control of Gaza and Forced Palestinian Relocation

The U.S. president's plan to transform Gaza into a tourism hub under American oversight faces global condemnation for violating international law.

Donald Trump announced plans for the U.S. to take control of Gaza, relocate its Palestinian population, and develop the area into a 'Riviera of the Middle East.'
Critics, including Palestinian leaders, international organizations, and U.S. Democrats, have condemned the plan as a form of ethnic cleansing and a violation of international law.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right Israeli politicians expressed support for the proposal, seeing it as aligned with their long-term territorial ambitions.
Neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt, along with global powers such as France, China, and Saudi Arabia, rejected the plan, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution.
Legal experts and human rights organizations have highlighted that forced displacement of Gaza's population would constitute a grave breach of international law.
