Earlier this month, the president said he favored taking control of Gaza and displacing the Palestinian population of the devastated seaside enclave. But Egypt and Jordan flatly rejected cooperating.

For now, the cease-fire deal between Hamas and the Israeli government appears to be holding, but Donald Trump’s proposal for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza has been the main focus of discussion for the past few weeks.

Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians out of Gaza and take over the territory was rejected by several foreign nations, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and China.
