The Trump administration is reportedly considering a plan to temporarily relocate some of Gaza's two million displaced residents to Indonesia during the post-war reconstruction of the region. This initiative, discussed by the Trump transition team, aims to facilitate the rebuilding process. Indonesia has been mentioned as a potential host country for this temporary measure. The proposal has sparked controversy, with concerns among Palestinians and their Arab allies about the possibility of permanent displacement. Steve Witkoff, the Middle East envoy for the Trump administration, is expected to play a key role in overseeing these efforts.
