During a meeting in the Oval Office with King Abdullah II of Jordan, President Trump stated that the United States could seize and govern Gaza, suggesting that neighboring countries could resettle displaced Palestinians. This proposal came soon after he openly suggested the U.S. should take control of the war-torn territory, raising alarm among regional leaders.

Trump Insists U.S. Has the Right to Control Gaza Amid Controversial Proposal
In a recent meeting, President Trump asserted that the U.S. has the authority to "take" Gaza, provoking significant diplomatic tension.
President Trump made his remarks amidst a backdrop of ongoing diplomatic concerns, asserting that Gaza would be preserved and cherished under U.S. governance. Jordan's King Abdullah, however, deflected when asked about the proposal, indicating that it was essential for the U.S. to consult with other Arab nations, particularly Egypt, before moving forward with such plans.
Despite earlier rejections from both Jordan and Egypt regarding the idea of forcibly relocating Palestinians, Trump has continued to push this controversial narrative. King Abdullah's response has been to advocate for regional consultations rather than directly challenge Trump’s vision, revealing the delicate balance of regional politics in response to U.S. directives.
