Trump's Gaza Relocation Plan Faces Widespread Rejection

Arab states and international leaders dismiss U.S. proposal to resettle Palestinians outside Gaza, favoring local reconstruction and a two-state solution.

U.S. President Donald Trump proposed relocating Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Arab countries while transforming the region into a tourism hub under U.S. oversight.
The plan has been met with strong opposition from Arab nations, including Egypt and Jordan, which advocate for a two-state solution and local reconstruction efforts.
Arab leaders are convening in Riyadh to discuss alternative plans, including an Egyptian-led proposal focused on rebuilding Gaza without displacing its residents.
The Egyptian plan outlines a multi-phase reconstruction process, emphasizing local governance by a technocratic Palestinian body and excluding Hamas from administration.
International criticism highlights potential violations of international law in forced relocations, as well as the lack of consent from Gaza's residents, who largely wish to remain in their homeland.
