Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations have publicly rejected President Trump’s plan to evacuate war-torn Gaza’s 2.3 million residents so the US can “take over” and redevelop the land. But, they may come to support it in secret because it would finally solve decades of conflict and end Hamas’ iron grip,

During his press conference, Trump suggested that Saudi Arabia was not demanding a Palestinian homeland. But statements from Saudi officials since then contradict this narrative and point to increasingly divergent views on Gaza – and indeed, the future of Palestine – between Riyadh and Washington.

President Trump told reporters last month that he would urge the leaders of Jordan and Egypt to take in Gaza's now largely homeless population.

Palestinians, Arab governments and world leaders have rejected US President Donald Trump’s shock proposal to take over the Gaza Strip and resettle its people, even as he insisted that “everybody loves” the idea.

Several Arab nations as well as the Arab League pushed back on a suggestion by US President Donald Trump that Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated en masse to Egypt and Jordan.
