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 āa little bit surprisedā by their rejection. His proposal aimed to ātake overā 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 āsit back and recommend it.ā This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gazaās future governance and stability.
