Donald Trump, the President of the United States, says that Palestinians currently living in Gaza will be relocated to a place outside of this area according to his plan for the strip, and they will not have the right to return. In an interview with Fox News published on Monday, he described his plan for this narrow area located on the Mediterranean coast as the 'Future Property Development' plan. He stated, 'I will own it,' adding that 2.3 million Palestinians residing in the war-torn Gaza Strip will be moved to a maximum of six different areas outside of Gaza, according to this plan that the Arab world has currently rejected. Trump, who was a real estate mogul in New York before entering politics in 2015, did not specify where the Palestinians would be moved. However, when Fox News host Bret Baier asked him if they would be allowed to return to Gaza, Trump replied, 'No, they won't return, because they are going to have much better housing.' Regarding Gaza, which has been devastated after 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas, he said, 'In other words, I am talking about building a permanent place for them, because if they are to return now, it will take years for them to be able to [return]... this area is uninhabitable.' The fighting in the Gaza Strip is currently halted with a six-week ceasefire. Donald Trump first introduced his unexpected plan for Gaza last week alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. He suggested that Egypt and Jordan accept the Palestinians, but both countries have rejected this idea.
