The President of The United States of America has stated his clear intention for the age old disputed Gaza Strip in the middle East.
Trump announced his proposal in a joint news conference at the White House with Netanyahu on Tuesday, setting off a maelstrom of criticism from rights groups who say the plan’s implementation would break international law – and would amount to ethnic cleansing in Gaza
The U.S President’s plan involves sending Gaza’s residents to neighboring countries and taking what he termed “long-term ownership” of the strip.
The big news form from the U.S President has sparked different reactions across the Wes and the Middle East. His plan triggered an enormous backlash, with leaders from the Middle East and beyond rejecting it as unworkable and illegal.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus has backed Donald Trump’s proposal to take over the Gaza and has termed it a “remarkable idea”.
Following the big announcement, Israel’s army was ordered to prepare plans for large numbers of Palestinians to leave the territory.
