US President Donald Trump has reiterated his plans to take control of Gaza, saying he intends to enlist other Middle Eastern countries to help rebuild it. Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday, Trump called the enclave a “big real estate site,” which needs to be “reclaimed, leveled out, fixed up” for future development.
“I’m committed to buying and owning Gaza… We’re going to bring stability to the… totally war-torn, part of the Middle East. And we’ll own it,” Trump told reporters on Sunday. He doubled down on his idea to relocate Palestinians from the enclave, claiming that it would be done for their own good.
While Israel applauded Trump’s initiative to take control of Gaza, other key regional players and many global powers are strongly opposed. Countries including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, France, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Iran, and Brazil voiced their opposition to any forced displacement of Palestinians.
Australia, Russia, China and several others stressed the need for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine to end the hostilities for good, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that Trump’s plans could make the situation worse, calling them a “form of ethnic cleansing.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also rejected Trump’s plan, saying Israel should pay for the damage to Gaza. He estimated the cost of the enclave’s reconstruction at 100 billion. - RT
