Trump Proposes U.S. Takeover of Gaza, Relocation of 2.2 Million Palestinians to Create 'Riviera of the Middle East'

President Donald Trump announced a plan for the United States to assume control of the Gaza Strip, proposing to relocate approximately 2.2 million Palestinian residents to neighboring countries. During a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump stated that the U.S. would 'take over' Gaza, level the site, and rebuild it into an economic development zone, which he described as the 'Riviera of the Middle East.' He suggested that the reconstruction would provide unlimited jobs and housing, aiming to create a peaceful and prosperous area. Trump's proposal has drawn widespread condemnation from international leaders and U.S. allies, who view it as a potential forced displacement of civilians and ethnic cleansing. The plan also includes the possibility of U.S. military involvement to manage the reconstruction process.
