President Donald Trump stated that Palestinians in Gaza would not have a right to return under his proposal for US ownership of the war-torn territory. This contradicts statements from other officials in his administration. Trump, who has pressured Arab states to take in Palestinians from Gaza, envisions Gaza as the 'Riviera of the Middle East' with safe communities built away from the conflict zone.
President Donald Trump speaks to reporters aboard Air Force One where he signed a proclamation declaring Feb. 9 Gulf of America Day as he travels from West Palm Beach, Fla. to New Orleans, Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025. said Palestinians in Gaza would not have a right to return under his plan for U.S.
“We’ll build safe communities, a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is,” Trump said. “In the meantime, I would own this. Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful piece of land. No big money spent.” Trump last week didn’t rule out deploying U.S. troops to help secure the territory but at the same time insisted no U.S. funds would go to pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, raising fundamental questions about the nature of his plan.
