On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a contentious proposal for the United States to 'take control' of the Gaza Strip, which may involve the deployment of American troops.

During a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump indicated that the U.S. would take on the responsibility of Gaza, including the removal of unexploded ordnance and the rebuilding of destroyed structures.

He envisioned transforming the territory into an affluent area, likening it to a 'new Riviera.' Trump also proposed that Palestinians should evacuate Gaza, labeling the region as 'hell' and asserting that they had no choice but to leave.

His statements have sparked significant unease, with many in the region opposing the idea, including Egypt and Jordan, which have declined to accept more Palestinian refugees.

Critics contend that the inhabitants of Gaza would resist any forced relocation.

In addition, Arab officials voiced concerns that such proposals could threaten the fragile ceasefire in Gaza and diminish the dignity of the Palestinian people.

The plan has also been met with skepticism in the U.S. Congress, where some lawmakers, including Senator Lindsey Graham, have raised doubts about the practicality of deploying American troops to Gaza.

While Netanyahu seemed to support Trump's stance, the proposal has encountered confusion and caution from various parties, including members of the U.S. administration and international actors.

The comments made by the U.S. president have ignited a debate regarding the future of Gaza and the broader peace process in the Middle East.
