Trump's Gaza Resettlement Proposal Faces Global Rejection
Arab nations and international leaders push back on Trump's plan to depopulate Gaza and rebuild it under U.S. control, while Trump insists it's a recommendation, not a mandate.
- President Donald Trump proposed a plan to depopulate Gaza, relocate its residents to neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan, and redevelop the area under U.S. control.
- Arab states, including Egypt and Jordan, have rejected the proposal, with Jordan agreeing only to accept 2,000 sick children for treatment.
- Trump has softened his stance, stating that the plan is a recommendation rather than a requirement, though he continues to advocate for it as the best solution.
- Trump's proposal has sparked criticism globally, with no alternative plans emerging from a recent meeting of Arab leaders in Riyadh. Another meeting is planned in Cairo.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed anger over recent events in Gaza and received U.S. support from Trump to potentially resume military action against Hamas.
