US President Donald Trump announced a controversial plan that involves the United States taking control of the Gaza Strip and redeveloping it, while relocating its Palestinian residents to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan. Many observers described this plan as a “knockout blow” to the two-state solution, as it contradicts international efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state.

Details of the plan:

• Taking control of Gaza: The plan stipulates US control over the Gaza Strip and its transformation into a tourist area known as the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

• Relocating residents: The plan includes the relocation of about 1.8 million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, with financial incentives offered to them.

International reactions:

• Egypt: Egypt strongly condemned this plan, describing it as an “unacceptable violation” of the sovereignty of Arab countries.

• Saudi Arabia: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its firm stance against establishing diplomatic relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

• Jordan: Jordan strongly rejected any attempts to relocate Palestinians to its territory, considering it a threat to its stability.

Netanyahu's proposal:

In a related context, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed the establishment of a Palestinian state on Saudi territory, indicating that the Kingdom has vast areas that could be used for this purpose. This came in response to Saudi Arabia's insistence on establishing a Palestinian state as a condition for normalizing relations with Israel.

Conclusion:

Trump's plan and Netanyahu's proposal face widespread rejection from Arab countries and the international community, as they are viewed as obstacles to achieving the two-state solution and establishing an independent Palestinian state.
