International Leaders Condemn Trump's Gaza Ownership Proposal

President Donald Trump's recent comments about transforming Gaza into a U.S.-owned 'Riviera of the Middle East' have sparked widespread condemnation and concern from international leaders. Trump suggested that the inhabitants of Gaza could be resettled in neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt, a plan rejected by both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, which assert that Gaza is home to its people. European officials, including Spain's Foreign Minister, emphasized that Gaza should remain part of a future Palestinian state, rejecting any forced displacement as a violation of international law. Irish leaders echoed these sentiments, stressing the importance of a two-state solution and the need for humanitarian aid and a durable ceasefire. The situation in Gaza, described by Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin as 'hell on Earth,' remains dire, with calls for urgent assistance for nearly two million affected residents. Trump's comments have ignited fears of exacerbating an already tense humanitarian crisis.
