Trump’s Gaza Strip Takeover Plan Faces Backlash

U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to take control of the Gaza Strip after resettling Palestinians has sparked strong criticism from around the world.

Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri called Trump’s plan “ridiculous and absurd,” warning it could spark conflict in the region. Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman rejected any efforts to displace Palestinians, affirming that the kingdom would not normalize relations with Israel without a Palestinian state. Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese reaffirmed his country’s support for a two-state solution, while U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib also criticized the proposal.

The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over the Gaza Strip and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
