Trump and Netanyahu discuss relocating Gazans, with Trump claiming other nations will accept them, sparking criticism over forced displacement and Palestinian rights.
During a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, US President Donald Trump reiterated his stance that resolving the Middle East conflict requires Palestinians to leave Gaza. He claimed that countries other than Jordan and Egypt are willing to take in Gazans, despite previous rejections from both nations.
Trump repeated his assertion that Egypt and Jordan initially refused to host Gazans but would eventually agree. He also alleged that several other countries have expressed willingness to accept Gazan refugees, though he provided no specific details.
“I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza. I think that Gaza has been very unlucky for them. They’ve lived like hell, they’ve lived like you’re living in hell. Gaza is not a place for people to be living. The only reason they want to go back, and I believe this strongly, is they have no alternative. What’s the alternative? Go where? If they had an alternative, they’d much rather not go back to Gaza and live in a beautiful alternative that’s safe,” he said.
In a show of strong support for Netanyahu, despite the Israeli leader’s involvement in war crimes and genocide in Gaza, Trump praised him as the right leader for Israel and credited him for doing a good job.
A spokesman for Hamas, Sami Abu Zuhri, responded to Trump’s remarks, saying “we consider it a recipe for creating chaos and tension in the region.”
“Our people in the Gaza Strip will not allow these plans to pass, and what is required is to end the occupation and aggression against our people, not expel them from their land,” he said.
Trump also took the opportunity to boast about his own role in peace efforts, claiming he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize but that the committee would “never give it to me.”
For his part, Netanyahu emphasized his commitment to securing the release of all hostages and achieving Israel’s war objectives, including dismantling Hamas’ military capabilities and governance. He expressed appreciation for Trump’s efforts in brokering a ceasefire and said he would work toward advancing the second phase of the truce agreement.
Trump’s remarks have drawn widespread criticism, with many viewing his proposal as an attempt to justify the forced displacement of Palestinians. Critics argue that such a plan ignores the root causes of the conflict and undermines Palestinian rights to their homeland.

I am an American Jewish woman. On behalf of myself, and all of my Jewish friends and family, we are so sorry about the atrocities and genocide committed by Israel. We are deeply disappointed and horrified by what the US has contributed to this and what Trump has said today. We feel helpless and we know of the deep human suffering and loss of life. Please know there are millions of Americans, Jews , Christians, Muslims and people of all faith that feel the depth of your suffering.
Trump moving the likes of Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich and co that believe they could only live by killing off entire defenceless Palestinians under siege or force those that survived killing out of what remained of Palestine to US brings peace to the region and is not half bad.
Netanyahu played Biden for a fool and he is on the verge of playing Trump for a greater fool.
The resilient Palestinians have and would endure till libration from the Creator our actions or inactions would’nt change their destiny.
Palestinians have moved on.
President Trump should wise up.
This senile scumbag has lost it indeed. Perhaps one of his subordinates should remind him that after 15 months of Zionist genocide against Palestinians, sponsored by the US and co, Palestinians are still standing their own ground, firm and tall. If a genocide didn’t force the indigenous people out of their lands, I doubt anything else will. Steadfastness is the first step of liberation. Sooner or later, Palestinians will liberate their land, all of it, from the Zionist filth. Victory for Palestinians, shame and disgrace upon their enemies.
its time to send in Russian and Chinese troops to occupied palestine and evacuate the west bank of all the land stealing jews and remove them forcefully and send them to tel aviv, or maybe its time someone just levelled israel like they did to gaza.
