US President Donald Trump has suggested relocating Palestinians from the war-torn Gaza Strip, calling it a “real estate development for the future.” The proposal, which involves building “beautiful communities” away from Gaza, has sparked widespread criticism, especially from Arab nations.

Trump’s Vision for Gaza’s Displaced

In an interview with FOX News, Trump stated, “We’ll build safe communities, a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is. In the meantime, I would own this. Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful piece of land. No big money spent.”

His remarks follow an earlier statement where he declared that the US would “take over and own” Gaza, claiming responsibility for clearing unexploded bombs and rebuilding efforts.

Arab Nations Express Concerns

Trump’s proposal has been met with sharp criticism from Arab nations, particularly Egypt and Jordan, who fear an influx of Palestinian refugees. While Trump insists the relocation would be “temporary” to allow for debris removal and reconstruction, Middle Eastern leaders remain skeptical.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan firmly opposed the plan, stating, “No one has the power to remove Palestinians from their land.”

International Reactions and Security Risks

The Kremlin has also reacted cautiously, with Russian spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasizing that 1.2 million Palestinians reside in Gaza. “We need to wait for more details before assessing the plan,” Peskov told Reuters.

Meanwhile, the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that the plan aims for a temporary displacement to facilitate rebuilding efforts.

What’s Next for Trump’s Gaza Plan?

As Trump prepares to meet Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the White House, international pressure continues to mount. Critics argue that his plan contradicts the long-standing promise of a two-state solution and may further destabilize the region.

With concerns from global leaders and humanitarian organizations, the future of Trump’s Gaza proposal remains uncertain.
