Former U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked debate with his latest proposal for Gaza: urging Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations to take in Palestinians displaced by Israel's military operations. 💬 'Build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace,' he said, calling Gaza a 'demolition site' with widespread destruction.
The remarks come as Gaza faces a dire humanitarian crisis, with tens of thousands killed and nearly all 2.3 million residents displaced. Humanitarian groups warn of starvation and collapsing infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict. 🚨
While the U.S. previously opposed forced displacement, the White House continues to back Israel's military actions, framing them as self-defense against Iran-aligned groups like Hamas. Critics argue this stance undermines efforts to address civilian suffering. 🤝
Analysts say Trump's suggestion reflects broader geopolitical tensions, but Arab states have historically resisted absorbing large numbers of Palestinians, citing concerns over regional stability. 🌏 Will this proposal gain traction—or deepen divisions? 🔥
