US President Donald Trump's proposal to demolish Gaza's remaining structures, transform the territory under US 'ownership', and resettle Palestinians in Egypt and Jordan has drawn widespread condemnation. Trump's proposal, made at a news conference and later elaborated on Truth Social, suggests the US would take control of Gaza from Israel. Experts speculate on Trump's motives, whether it's a genuine foreign policy intention, a negotiating tactic, or a spur-of-the-moment comment. The plan has been labeled 'inflammatory' and a potential 'fundamental violation' of international law.
A remark at a news conference in Washington has transformed into serious fears of "fundamental violations" of international law. United States President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he wanted to demolish the remaining structures in Gaza and transform the territory under US "ownership". "The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too," Trump told reporters.
"So it is preferable to believe it is merely rhetoric that is being said to try and gain some advantage than a country seriously suggesting that they are going to fundamentally breach international law in a variety of ways." While Trump's motives may be ambiguous, international law is not. The forced deportation or transfer of a civilian population is a violation of international humanitarian law, a war crime, and a crime against humanity.
