The Palestinian leadership has strongly rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for the United States to take control of the Gaza Strip and relocate its population to neighboring countries.
Speaking on Palestinian public television, Nabil Abu Rudeina, spokesperson for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, reaffirmed that Gaza remains an “integral part of the State of Palestine.”
PLO Condemns Forced Displacement Plans
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a coalition of factions led by Abbas, also issued a statement condemning Trump’s suggestion that Palestinians should be resettled in Egypt or Jordan.

Hussein al-Sheikh, the PLO’s secretary-general, firmly rejected “all calls for the displacement of Palestinians from their homeland,” emphasizing the group’s unwavering stance against any forced removal of the Palestinian people.
Trump’s controversial plan, which envisions a U.S.-led reconstruction of Gaza into a tourist destination akin to Monaco, has been widely criticized as unrealistic and in violation of international law. Both Egypt and Jordan have previously dismissed any suggestion that they would accept Palestinian refugees en masse, reinforcing the strong opposition to Trump’s proposal from regional powers.
International Backlash Grows
The Palestinian response adds to the growing international backlash against Trump’s plan, which has been met with resistance from Middle Eastern governments and human rights organizations. Critics argue that forcibly relocating Gaza’s two million residents would amount to ethnic cleansing and violate Palestinian sovereignty.
As global leaders react to Trump’s remarks, the proposal is expected to face further scrutiny from the international community, raising concerns over its feasibility, legality, and potential impact on the already fragile Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
