The Gaza Strip—currently the focal point of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas—spans an area approximately twice the size of Washington, D.C. It features around 25 miles of coastline along the Mediterranean Sea and is home to roughly 2 million residents.
Recently, President Trump proposed the controversial idea of relocating Gazans to neighboring countries, such as Egypt and Jordan.
Trump has maintained that Palestinians should not be allowed to return, a stance that has drawn sharp criticism from UN officials and others who argue that such a plan could be tantamount to ethnic cleansing. Despite rising domestic and international concerns over alleged U.S. imperialism, Trump remains adamant about his proposal for American ownership of Gaza.
The implications of Trump’s plan for the Palestinian people and the broader Middle East remain uncertain as details of the proposal have yet to be fully articulated.
