"Nothing To Buy, Will Take It": Trump Doubles Down On Gaza Takeover Plan

US President Donald Trump reiterated his controversial plan to "own" the Gaza Strip, suggesting the United States would take control of the territory without financial transactions. Meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II in the Oval Office, Trump stated, “We're going to have Gaza. We don't have to buy. There's nothing to buy. We will have Gaza... We're going to take it, we're going to hold it, we're going to cherish it.” King Abdullah II, a key Middle East ally, reportedly

 informed Trump that Egypt was working on a regional approach to address the crisis. The proposal faced strong criticism, as it involves relocating Gaza’s 2.2 million residents to neighboring countries without any right of return. Trump, who built his fortune in real estate, denied personal development ambitions in Gaza, stating, "No. I've had a great career in real estate." However, he emphasized plans to redevelop the territory for the benefit of the Middle East. "We're going to get it going eventually, where a lot of jobs are going to be created for the people in the Middle East," he added.

Defending his proposal, Trump argued that Palestinians would be willing to leave Gaza due to the dire conditions after more than a year of war following Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel. "Look at the way they're living now... There are no conditions anywhere in the world that are worse than the Gaza Strip," he said. Trump’s plan, announced last week, envisions transforming Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East" but only after displacing its current residents with no possibility of return. The proposal has sparked global outrage and significant diplomatic concerns.

Trump’s Gaza Plan Faces Strong Pushback from Jordan and Egypt

US President Donald Trump’s proposal to "own" Gaza and place it under "US authority" met strong opposition from Jordan’s King Abdullah II during their Oval Office meeting. The Jordanian leader emphasized the unified Arab stance against the displacement of Palestinians, stating that the immediate priority should be rebuilding Gaza without forcing its residents to leave. "I reiterated Jordan's steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. This is the unified Arab position. Rebuilding Gaza without displacing the Palestinians and addressing the dire humanitarian situation should be the priority for all," King Abdullah II posted on social media following the discussions. Trump has repeatedly suggested that neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt could absorb Gaza's population, an idea that has sparked diplomatic tension. In response, King Abdullah II noted that Egypt was working on a regional plan and urged patience. "We will be in Saudi Arabia to discuss how we can work with the President and with the United States. So I think let's wait until the Egyptians can come and present it to the President and not get ahead of us," he said.

The Jordanian monarch also attempted to smooth relations by offering humanitarian assistance. He proposed that Jordan could immediately take in 2,000 Palestinian children suffering from cancer for medical treatment. Trump, who had previously suggested halting US aid to Jordan if it refused to accept refugees, called the gesture "really beautiful" and backtracked on his earlier threat. "I don't have to threaten that. I do believe we're above that," he stated. Meanwhile, Egypt’s foreign ministry announced that it would soon present a comprehensive plan for Gaza’s reconstruction, ensuring that Palestinians remain in their homeland. Egypt expressed its willingness to cooperate with the US administration to achieve “a fair settlement of the Palestinian cause.” As Trump's controversial Gaza proposal continues to generate global debate, resistance from key Middle Eastern allies highlights the complexities of implementing such a plan.

Gaza Ceasefire at Risk as Israel Threatens Renewed Military Action

The fragile truce in Gaza is under increasing strain as Israel has warned it will resume "intense fighting" if hostages are not released by this weekend. Meanwhile, Hamas insists it remains committed to the ceasefire deal and has accused Israel of multiple violations. The truce, which has largely halted over 15 months of conflict, was based on a series of hostage-prisoner exchanges. So far, five rounds of swaps have taken place between Israel and Hamas. However, recent tensions have led to intensified diplomatic efforts to preserve the agreement, with Hamas reiterating its commitment to maintaining the ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a firm ultimatum, stating, “If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday noon, the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will resume intense fighting until Hamas is decisively defeated.” Echoing Netanyahu’s stance, US President Donald Trump also warned of severe consequences if Hamas fails to release all Israeli hostages by the deadline, stating that "hell" would break loose if the terms were not met. As tensions rise, the future of the Gaza ceasefire remains uncertain, with global diplomatic efforts underway to prevent a return to full-scale conflict.
