Donald Trump again suggested the permanent resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza, arguing that they had no another alternative. The 47th president of the United States stressed that Palestinians should receive a "beautiful fresh part of land" that could be settled with the financial support of external investors. His message was harshly criticized by arabian countries and Palestinian leaders who rejected the thought as an effort at cultural cleansing.
Trump upholds his proposal
Donald Trump, known for his controversial statements about the mediate East, one more time suggested the request to resettle Palestinians. During a Tuesday gathering with journalists, he stated:
I think they should get a beautiful part of land and financial support to make it pleasant and viable.
Trump stressed that he felt that the people of Gaza should not go back there, suggesting that they should search a fresh place to live. His words echoed widely in the arabian world, where specified suggestions are treated as a threat to the future of Palestinians.
Response from arabian and Palestinian countries
Trump's words met with immediate criticism from Jordan, Egypt and another arabian countries. The leaders of these countries explicitly rejected the anticipation of accepting Palestinians as permanent refugees, stressing that specified a policy would de facto proceed historical attempts to deprive their homeland.
Palestinian leaders have besides condemned the proposal, indicating that it would mean the permanent eradication of the Palestinian people. They fear that the implementation of specified a plan could seal Israel's policy of gradually eliminating their presence in historical territories.

The situation in Gaza and its consequences
Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 led to the death of tens of thousands of people. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, over 47,000 people have already died, and almost the full population of Gaza has been forced to leave their homes. The humanitarian crisis is getting worse all day, and global organisations are alerting about the dramatic situation of residents.
The wave of force began after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, in which 1,200 Israelis were killed and about 250 people were abducted. Since then Israel has led a military offensive, which part of the global community describes as possible genocide.
