President Donald Trump’s proposal to seize control of Gaza and permanently relocate its Palestinian population has triggered strong global condemnation, with critics warning of chaos and instability in the Middle East.
Speaking during a joint press conference at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump suggested that two million Palestinians should be relocated to Egypt and Jordan, citing the devastation caused by Israel’s military operations following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a great job with it,” Trump said. “All Palestinians should be resettled because Gaza is now a demolition site. We will rebuild it into the ‘Riviera of the Middle East.’”
The announcement was met with swift and harsh reactions from world leaders, with several countries rejecting Trump’s proposal as a violation of Palestinian sovereignty.
Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally, issued a strongly worded statement reaffirming its long-standing support for an independent Palestinian state.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stresses its absolute rejection of any infringement on the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including Israeli settlement policies, annexation of Palestinian lands, or efforts to displace Palestinians from their land,” the statement read.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese echoed this stance, telling reporters in Canberra that his government remains committed to a two-state solution.
“Australia’s position is the same as it was this morning, as it was last year, as it was 10 years ago,” Albanese said, reinforcing his country’s unchanged policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Hamas, the militant group that launched the October 7 attack on Israel, denounced Trump’s suggestion of forced displacement, warning that the move would destabilize the region.
“Trump’s proposal is a recipe for chaos and long-term conflict in the Middle East,” Hamas said in a statement.
With growing opposition from key U.S. allies and international organizations, Trump’s controversial Gaza occupation plan is expected to face further scrutiny, raising questions about America’s role in the Middle East under his leadership.
