Trump suggests permanent displacement of Gazans and US will take ownership
President Donald Trump suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be permanently resettled outside the territory and proposed the US take ""ownership"" in redeveloping the area.

Trump wants to relocate roughly 1.8 million people from Gaza and turn it into ""the Riviera of the Middle East."" Egypt, Jordan, and other U.S. allies have cautioned against relocating Palestinians, as it could threaten stability and undermine the two-state solution.
