Monday, February 10, 2025 - United States President, Donald Trump has said he may give parts of Gaza to other countries in the Middle East.
Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday night, February
9, Trump said the war-ravaged enclave, Gaza, should be thought of as a “big
real estate site”.
According to the US president, other countries in the Middle East could
be tasked with handling its redevelopment.
“As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it [Gaza] to other states in
the Middle East to build sections of it; other people may do it, through our
auspices,” Trump said while en route to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl.
“If we could give them a home in a safer area – the only reason they are
talking about returning to Gaza is they don’t have an alternative. When they
have an alternative, they don’t want to return to Gaza,” he added.
Just last week, Trump announced after a meeting with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States would “take over” the Gaza
Strip and transform it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
According to Trump’s plan, the Palestinian inhabitants of the area would
be removed from Gaza and accommodated in other Arab states.
