In a statement that has ignited international controversy, U.S. President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that the United States would “take control” of the Gaza Strip, claiming there is “nothing to buy there.” These remarks were made during a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the White House, where Trump outlined his vision for the Palestinian enclave.

The U.S. leader not only reaffirmed his intention to take control of Gaza but also proposed transforming it into what he described as a “Middle Eastern Riviera.” This ambitious plan includes relocating Palestinians to neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt, a move critics have labeled as an attempt at ethnic cleansing.

For his part, King Abdullah II took the opportunity to announce that Jordan would welcome 2,000 sick children from Gaza who are currently undergoing treatment for cancer and other illnesses.

This decision comes amid increasing pressure on the Arab country to accept a significant number of Palestinian refugees.

The escalating rhetoric and proposed actions by Trump not only further complicate the already fragile situation in Gaza but could also have significant repercussions on U.S. relations with Arab countries and the delicate geopolitical balance in the Middle East.
