President Donald Trump’s plans were met with the United States to take over Gaza with anger and dismay in Palestine and the Arab world, and raised concerns about the reformulation of the conflict in the region.

Palestinian leaders said on Wednesday that they would unite attempts to remove them from their land.

Sami Abu Zouheri, a senior leader in the Islamic militant group and the Gaza force Hamas, said that the people of Gaza “will not allow these plans to pass,” and described Trump’s comments as “a recipe for chaos and tension in the region.”

The US President said on Tuesday evening that the United States must “take over” the devastating Gaza Strip, which is rolling from it after more than a year of war with Israel, and the Palestinian population should be resettled 2.2 million.

But the Arab countries have long rejected any other expulsion from the Palestinians. The exit of the Palestinians during the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948, known to the Palestinians in the name of the Nakba or the catastrophe, created waves of displacement in neighboring countries and operating years of instability in the region.

Jordan and neighboring Egypt, who have not yet responded to Trump’s comments, have previously rejected Trump’s proposal that they should accept the displaced Palestinian refugees.

Trump’s intention to secure Gaza with American soldiers will also show memories of invasion and occupation in the disastrous United States of Iraq, which led to an increase in the stability of the region and America’s reputation in the Arab world.

Trump’s intervention also threatens to undermine his goal of making more effort to normalize relations between Israel and the Arab countries in the region.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is seen as the closest ally of Trump in the oil -rich Gulf region, refused on Wednesday the displacement of the Palestinians and said that it will not take place peace talks with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is created.

After the success of the normalization talks between Israel and the states of the Gulf, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain during its first term, it was widely expected to follow a deal between Israel and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

But the Israeli war on Gaza, which led to Hamas in October 2023, scared Riyadh’s position towards Israel and saw it renewed a commitment to an independent Palestinian state.

The Saudi Crown Prince and its leader in fact, Muhammad bin Salman, previously described the fierce attack on Israel – which killed about 47,000 people in Gaza – as “genocide”.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Kingdom said that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia “will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel” without an independent Palestinian state and stressed that this position is “negotiable and is not subject to concessions.”
