Former President Trump stated that no U.S. soldiers would be needed to establish stability in Gaza, after suggesting that Palestinians could potentially be permanently removed from the region. This proposal has been met with anger and accusations of ethnic cleansing from around the world, with many condemning it as dismissing the Palestinian cause for statehood. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas rejected the plan, calling it a violation of international law. Despite this, Trump’s spokesperson clarified that the president was committed to rebuilding Gaza and temporarily relocating Palestinians during the reconstruction efforts, without mentioning any plans to send troops. Gaza has been under blockade by Israel and Egypt since 2007, with the majority of UN member countries recognizing it as part of an independent state. Trump also mentioned plans to work with global development teams to create a spectacular development in Gaza, though it remains unclear what he meant by mentioning Senator Chuck Schumer in his post. The proposal has reignited tensions in the region, with many fearful of the consequences of such a plan.
