PM Netanyahu praises Trump’s Gaza plan amid growing Middle East conflicts

After Donald Trump became the 47th U.S. President, major developments unfolded in the Middle East. Trump pushed for a "hard stance" on Gaza and even suggested a U.S. takeover of the Palestinian enclave. Hostages, including Iair Horn, Sagui Dekel-Chen, and Sasha Troufanov, were freed in Gaza, following Trump`s strong warning to Hamas. At an event in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu praised Trump’s plan for Gaza. Both the U.S. and Israel are focused on stopping Iran`s nuclear ambitions and reducing its influence in the region.

United States: Trump-Netanyahu ‘friendship’ takes centre stage as leaders meet

US President Donald Trump hosted Israeli PM Netanyahu as first guest in his second term at White House. Netanyahu’s US visit drew global attention because of Trump’s major announcement of ‘Gaza takeover plan’. However, in another significant news, Trump-Netanyahu alliance comes under radar again. Israeli PM Netanyahu gifted a ‘special’ gift to his ‘Greatest Friend, Greatest Ally’ Donald Trump post meeting at White House. Affixed to wooden base with a golden plaque, Bibi gifted Trump a ‘Golden Pager’ which read ‘To…Greatest Friend, Greatest Ally…’. However, the ‘pager’ wasn’t just any other gift, it was an allusion to Israel’s September 2024 operation in Lebanon. In that deadly operation, hand-held radios and pagers used by Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah detonated across Lebanon. The pager attack and next-day walkie-talkie blasts killed 39 in total and wounded more than 3,400. Lebanon and Hezbollah blamed Israel, later confirmed by Netanyahu’s office as his approved order....

Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and resettle Palestinians stirs worldwide outrage

President Trump`s controversial plan to take control of war-torn Gaza and create a "Riviera of the Middle East" after relocating Palestinians drew strong criticism from international leaders. Trump proposed resettling Palestinians in peaceful areas, aiming to end violence. His plan faced swift condemnation, especially from Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the UK, all of whom support a two-state solution. China opposed forced Palestinian relocation, and France also criticized the idea. A Hamas spokesperson called it "ridiculous and absurd." Trump envisioned building a resort where international communities could coexist peacefully, following the devastation of Gaza after 15 months of Israeli bombing, which killed over 47,000 people. It’s unclear whether he will pursue this plan or use it as leverage.... [Read More]

Expert criticizes Trump’s proposal for U.S. takeover of Gaza

On February 4, President Donald Trump made a surprising statement, declaring that the United States would take control of the Gaza Strip. He suggested that the U.S. would not only assume ownership of the area but would also be in charge of its reconstruction, with a focus on dismantling dangerous unexploded bombs and other threats. His remarks were made during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump did not offer detailed plans, but his comments were met with skepticism. Brian Katulis from the Middle East Institute dismissed the idea, saying it lacked practicality and was disconnected from reality. Earlier that day, Trump had proposed relocating Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, calling Gaza a "demolition site" amid an ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.... [Read More]
