Donald Trump Gaza plan : Middle East leaders have condemned Donald Trump’s proposal to “take over” the Gaza Strip and relocate its residents elsewhere.
Trump suggested that displaced Palestinians should be permanently resettled outside Gaza and proposed U.S. “ownership” in redeveloping the region. He made these remarks during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry released a statement affirming Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s firm stance, despite Trump’s announcement.
“The international community must act to ease the severe humanitarian suffering of the Palestinian people, who will remain steadfast on their land and will not leave,” the statement declared.
Trump’s Gaza Plan and the Global Reaction
“The international community’s responsibility today is to help ease the immense suffering of the Palestinian people, who remain steadfast on their land and will not be displaced.
“This unwavering stance is non-negotiable and not open to compromise.”
Middle East Leaders Condemn Trump’s Proposal
The statement was released several hours after Trump’s press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As expected, Hamas also denounced Trump’s proposal.
“Instead of holding the Zionist occupation accountable for genocide and displacement, it is being rewarded rather than punished,” Hamas stated.
“We reject Trump’s remarks suggesting that Gaza’s residents have no choice but to leave, and we view them as a recipe for chaos and instability in the region.”
Trump did not elaborate on the fate of Palestinians forced out of Gaza.
Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, the Arab League, and the Palestinian Authority have all rejected the idea of relocating Gazans to other countries.

Such a relocation is unrealistic, Monash University lecturer Ran Porat told
“It’s the worst nightmare for the Egyptians. It’s the absolute worst-case scenario for the Jordanians,” he said.
“The Palestinians are the outcasts of the Arab world—no one wants them.”
However, whether Trump will actually follow through on his plan remains uncertain.
“I don’t believe President Trump has a concrete strategy for taking over Gaza, let alone relocating Gazans elsewhere in the Middle East,” said Jared Mondschein, Director of Research at the United States Studies Centre, speaking to
“More than anything, this seems like an opening move in a negotiation.”
Mondschein suggested that this “maximalist first step” might pressure Gaza’s neighboring countries into playing a more active role in resolving the crisis.

“Few experts believe relocating hundreds of thousands of Gazans to Egypt and Jordan would actually solve anything,” he noted.
“But it could make financial or political support from Egypt and Jordan seem like a more manageable alternative.”
The Gaza Strip, one of the most densely populated places on Earth, is home to approximately two million people.
