President Donald Trump suggested that the US should take control of the Gaza strip after relocating Palestinians which sparked criticism.
He proposed clearing weapons, demolishing damaged buildings, and leveling the land for job-creating projects.
“We’ll take charge, remove dangerous explosives, rebuild, and create jobs. If things go back to how they were, history will repeat itself,” he stated.
Many countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, opposed the idea, warning it could cause more conflict.
Many critics argued it would increase tensions and unrest.
The Palestinian Authority rejected the plan, saying it threatened their independence, while Hamas called it an attempt to remove Palestinians.
Some Israeli leaders supported the idea, but others feared it would drag the U.S. into a long-term conflict, like in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As Gaza faces a humanitarian crisis, world leaders push for peaceful solutions while the Palestinian authority forms a rebuilding committee with an unclear role.
Countries like Australia and New Zealand support a two-state solution and oppose forced relocation, while Trump’s statement fuels the ongoing debate about Gaza’s future.
