President Trump suggested the US could take control of Gaza, emptying it of residents and redeveloping it as a tourist area. He proposed this during a meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II, suggesting that Jordan and other Arab nations could house the displaced Palestinians. The plan faces strong opposition from Jordan and other Arab states who have rejected the idea of relocating Gaza's residents.
President Donald Trump has hosted Jordan ’s King Abdullah II at the White House and renewed his suggestions that Gaza could be emptied of residents, controlled by the US and redeveloped as a tourist area – a plan that could only work if the Arab nation agreed to accept more refugees.
“We’re not going to buy anything. We’re going to have it,” Trump said of US control in Gaza. He suggested that the redeveloped area could have new hotels, office buildings and houses, “and we’ll make it exciting”. “This operation is being carried out at this time. It will be completed in the very near future,” he said in a statement.
Abdullah’s visit comes at a perilous moment for the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza. Hamas has accused Israel of violating the truce and said it would pause future releases of hostages captured in its October 7, 2023, attack.
