Trump's redistribution plans for the Gaza Strip: outrage in the region!

The Gaza Strip is the focus of international tensions after US President Donald Trump has submitted suggestions for the relocation of the Palestinians living there. Trump plans to redirect around two million Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan, while he described the Gaza Strip as the future "Riviera of the Middle East". This happened during a press conference with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where Trump suggested that the United States would manage and rebuild the area without Palestinians. The proposal ensured worldwide outrage and was criticized by the United Nations as a potential "ethnic cleansing", as the reports of vienna.at and daily show.de clarify.

The Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi suggested in a brief statement that a body should take over the administration of the Gaza Strip. This could mean that after a transition phase, the Palestinian Authority regains control. First of all, the rubble is to be removed in a six -month phase and the affected people are to be accommodated in transition accommodation. In the long term, costs for the reconstruction of the badly damaged area, which are estimated at $ 53 billion, are considered decisive for future stability. However, Trump showed little understanding of the devastating location in the Gaza Strip by expressing that the Palestinians would not want to return because they would describe Gaza as "hell".

reactions and legal concerns

Resistance to Trump's plans came not only from the Arab world, but also from international space. The Palestinians, including Hamas and Fatah, condemned the proposal and called him racism. For Jordan and Egypt, a forced resettlement could bring significant domestic political tensions, since these countries already house a large Palestinian population. Jordan was forced to reject the proposal immediately to protect his inner stability. The legal situation or not, the question remains whether there is a viable way in this tense situation to create a permanent peace in the Middle East. The future of the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian remains uncertain, while the pressure on the regional rulers is increasing.
