A controversial U.S. proposal to take over Gaza has ignited fury worldwide, with critics warning it risks escalating Middle East tensions and undermining Palestinian rights. The plan, linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump, is being called a potential catalyst for ‘another Nakba’ – referencing the mass displacement of Palestinians in 1948.
Egypt’s fierce rejection: Cairo residents and officials alike have condemned the idea, with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s government previously rejecting a similar 2020 ‘Peace to Prosperity’ plan that suggested relocating Palestinians to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Analysts argue such proposals could destabilize the region and jeopardize Egypt-Israel relations.
Ethnic cleansing concerns: Critics accuse Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to erase Palestinian statehood aspirations through forced displacement, violating UN Resolution 242. ‘This isn’t peace – it’s land grabs disguised as diplomacy,’ tweeted one activist.
History repeats?: Since the 1990s, there’ve been efforts to reshape the Middle East’s political map in ways critics say favor Israel. Many fear this latest proposal continues a pattern of ‘provisional solutions’ that avoid addressing Palestinian rights.
