Trump Backs Away From Gaza Plan As Egypt And Jordan Reject Proposal To Take Over And Displace Gazans

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was “a little bit surprised” by their rejection. His proposal aimed to “take over” Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will “sit back and recommend it.” This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gaza’s future governance and stability. #Trump #Gaza #IsraelPalestine #MiddleEast #Egypt #Jordan #Hamas #USPolitics #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #ForeignPolicy #TrumpPlan #Palestinians #Israel #Conflict #Biden #War #InternationalRelations #News #Breaking
