Donald Trump says Palestinians will not be allowed to return to Gaza under his plan to 'own territory' President Donald Trump said Palestinians in Gaza would not have a right to return under his plan for US "ownership" of the war-torn territory.
Less than a week after he floated his plan for the US to take control of Gaza and turn it into "the Riviera of the Middle East," Mr Trump told FOX News that Palestinians in Gaza wouldn’t have a right to return to the territory.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump said it was a “big mistake” for tens of thousands of Palestinians to be allowed to return home after being displaced by more than a year of bombardment from Israeli forces, adding: “We don’t want Hamas going back.”.
Jordan's King Abdullah plans to tell Trump during their planned February 11 meeting in Washington that the proposal is a recipe for radicalism that will spread chaos through the Middle East and jeopardise the kingdom's peace with Israel, Reuters reported earlier this week.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One as he travelled to the Super Bowl, Trump also said he could allow sections of the war-ravaged land to be rebuilt by other states in the Middle East.
