On February 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a plan for the United States to take control of the Gaza Strip and resettle its Palestinian inhabitants to nearby countries like Egypt and Jordan.

This announcement was made at a press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

President Trump indicated that Palestinians should relocate to different nations, asserting that Gaza could subsequently be redeveloped under American guidance.

He referred to Gaza as a 'demolition site' and suggested that the U.S. could 'take over' the region for long-term redevelopment.

The proposal has faced extensive backlash.

Jordan and Egypt have openly opposed the notion of resettling Palestinians from Gaza.

The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations stressed, 'our homeland is our homeland.' Legal experts and human rights advocates have criticized the proposal, denouncing it as a form of ethnic cleansing.

The international community remains vigilant regarding the matter, as the proposal carries significant consequences for the Middle East.
