Trump Proposes U.S. Takeover of Gaza Strip

President Donald Trump has proposed that the United States take over and develop the Gaza Strip, suggesting a long-term ownership position and economic transformation of the territory. Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump described Gaza as a 'demolition site' and proposed the resettlement of its Palestinian population to neighboring countries. Trump's plan, which lacks specific details, marks a significant departure from long-standing U.S. policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu praised Trump's unconventional thinking, while Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia and Jordan, have rejected the idea of displacing Palestinians from Gaza. Trump suggested the U.S. would clear unexploded bombs and create jobs, but did not clarify under what authority this takeover would occur. The proposal has sparked controversy and raised questions about the future governance of the region.
