President Trump's suggestion to have the US 'take over' the Gaza Strip and develop it into a 'Riviera of the Middle East' has sparked international outrage. Palestinians, Israelis, and regional powers have denounced the plan, calling it a violation of international law and a threat to peace and stability.
Allies and adversaries of the United States reacted with shock and disapproval Wednesday to President Trump's announcement of plans for the United States to 'take over' the Gaza Strip. Mr. Trump's suggestion that the Palestinian territory — part of the land that many people hope will eventually become an independent Palestinian state — be redeveloped into a 'Riviera of the Middle East,' owned by the U.S., sent diplomatic shockwaves around the world.
''We demand that the mediators, especially the United States, oblige the occupation to implement the ceasefire agreement in its three stages without procrastination or manipulation, as we are committed to implementing the agreement as long as the occupation commits to it, and any manipulation in implementing the agreement may cause it to collapse,' senior Hamas political official Basem Naim said in a statement.
