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

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

President Trump proposed that Palestinians should relocate to other nations, suggesting that Gaza could then be redeveloped with U.S. oversight.

He characterized Gaza as a 'demolition site' and advocated for the U.S. to 'take over' the region for long-term redevelopment.

The proposal has faced widespread backlash.

Jordan and Egypt have openly dismissed the idea of resettling Palestinians from Gaza.

The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations asserted that 'our homeland is our homeland.' Legal experts and human rights organizations have denounced the proposal, branding it as a form of ethnic cleansing.

The international community is closely observing the situation, given the proposal's far-reaching implications for the Middle East.
