Former President Donald Trump has revealed striking new details about his plan to transform Gaza into a luxury destination, dubbing it the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
He reaffirmed his controversial vision to rebuild the war-torn enclave, suggesting that Israel would transfer control of Gaza to the broader Middle East as part of the process.
Trump’s widely discussed “Make Gaza Great Again” proposal includes relocating 2 million Palestinians to neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt. His next step involves a large-scale redevelopment effort aimed at turning Gaza into what he calls “the most spectacular development on the planet.”
According to Trump, Israel would transfer Gaza to the United States at the conclusion of ongoing conflict, a claim he shared on social media. He also emphasized the need for Arab nations to contribute to regional stability, calling on them to take an active role in the plan.
The announcement has sparked global shock and criticism, with Hamas strongly rejecting any U.S. intervention. Trump, however, suggested that American military force could be used if necessary, leading some to accuse him of prioritizing conflict over diplomacy.
