US President Donald Trump proposed a US "takeover" of Gaza, calling for long-term control and resettlement of Palestinians elsewhere. He claimed Gaza could become the "Riviera of the Middle East." The Palestinian Authority condemned the plan as a "serious violation of international law," while Hamas called it "absurd." Egypt and Saudi Arabia rejected forced displacement, with the UK supporting Palestinians' right to "live and prosper" in their homeland. Trump's remarks sparked global backlash, with analysts questioning his intentions. Palestinians in Gaza vowed to remain, insisting, "This is our land." The controversy is reshaping US policy debates on the region.
