Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Arab nations have strongly rejected US President Donald Trump's proposal to take over Gaza and resettle its 2.1 million residents. Abbas called it a violation of international law, emphasizing Gaza as part of Palestine. Hamas warned it would escalate tensions in the region. The plan, which involves relocating Palestinians to other countries like Jordan and Egypt, has also been condemned by the UN, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan. Trump’s remarks came as a fragile ceasefire continues, but his proposal has drawn widespread criticism for its potential to undermine peace efforts.
