President Donald Trump said he wants the US to take over the war-shattered Gaza Strip after Palestinians are displaced to neighbouring countries, and develop the territory so the “world’s people” will live there.
Hamas released a statement in response to Trump, saying his plans are “a recipe for creating chaos and tension in the region. Our people in the Gaza Strip will not allow these plans to pass”.
Saudi Arabia said its support for the establishment of a Palestinian state is unwavering and it rejects any attempts to displace Palestinians from their land.
Rami Khouri, a distinguished fellow at the American University of Beirut, has told Al Jazeera that although Trump may have wanted to cause shock with his comments on Gaza, they are also consistent with US foreign policy historically.
