Trump presents proposal for reconstruction of the Gaza Strip

United States President Donald Trump told reporters on Saturday that he had talked to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about a “cleaning” proposal and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip after the war between Hamas and Israel.

The new US government project would involve the construction of housing and the receipt of about one million inhabitants of Gaza to countries such as Jordan itself and Egypt itself.

Trump also said he plans to talk to the Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al Sisi about the issue. “Something has to happen, (Gaza) is literally demolished. Almost everything is destroyed, and people are dying. So I would rather combine myself with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different place, where I think they could finally live in peace temporarily or for the rest of their lives, ”said Trump, quoted by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) newspaper) .

The US President had announced the same day the reversal of Joe Biden’s policy to curb 2,000 pounds pumps to Israel due to “concerns about the number of civilians killed in Gaza.” The new White House administration also suspended the sanctions imposed by the democratic predecessor to organizations of Israeli settlers and individuals in the West Bank.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Trump for suspending Biden’s ban from sending certain ammunition to Israel. “Thank you, President Trump, for keeping his promise to give Israel the tools needed to defend himself, face our common enemies and ensure a future of peace and prosperity,” says Netanyahu in a video.

The departure of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip has been a sensitive issue treated between Middle East and the United States. Egypt and Jordan so far have rejected any project involving the reception of Gaza Palestinian refugees, fearing their own countries.

A member of the political office of the terrorist group Hamas, Basem Naim, told EFE agency on Sunday (26) that the Palestinians “will not accept any proposal or solution under the pretext of reconstruction, as proposed by the president of the United States (Donald) Trump” .

“Our people have frustrated all travel plans and alternative lands for decades and will also reject such projects,” said Hamas member.

In another statement, the terrorist organization said: “We ask the US administration to interrupt such proposals, which align with Israeli plans and collide with the rights and free will of our people.”

Due to the war began by the terrorist group itself, with the massacre of October 7, 2023, much of the enclave was destroyed, leaving thousands of displaced people without their homes.
