US President Donald Trump recently proposed the temporary eviction of Palestinians from the region
The Israeli government has unveiled plans to persuade Palestinians to leave Gaza and force countries in Europe that have been critical of the war against Hamas to take in refugees from the enclave.
US President Donald Trump recently also suggested that Washington could take control over Gaza and level damaged buildings in the area to eventually turn the territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has praised Trump’s “courageous plan” to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to various parts of the world. The minister said he has ordered the IDF to prepare a plan under which any resident of Gaza could be encouraged to emigrate to any country that agrees to take them in.
Among the possible destinations, Katz mentioned Spain, Ireland, and Norway, claiming they have leveled “false accusations” against Israel regarding its war against the Gaza-based Hamas militant group.
Katz argued that if these countries refused to take in Gazans, “their hypocrisy will be exposed.”

Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the US will “take over the Gaza Strip” to rebuild the region. He also suggested that Palestinians should be temporarily removed to nearby states at the expense of “neighboring countries of great wealth.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later explained that “the president is prepared to rebuild Gaza for Palestinians and all people in the region, peace-loving people who want real economic development and opportunity.”
