Trump Pushes Gaza Plan as World Leaders Say No.
Donald Trump said again he wants the US to run Gaza. His words came after many world chiefs turned down his idea on Wednesday.
Trump wrote online that Israel would give Gaza to the US after the fighting ends. He added that Palestinians would move to new homes in other places near Gaza.
Trump first shared this plan Tuesday night. He said he wanted the US to own Gaza for many years.
The former president attended two prayer meetings Thursday in Washington, D.C., but he did not discuss Gaza. He said he wanted people to see him as someone who makes peace.
At these meetings, Trump said no wars happened when he led the US before. He pointed out that Russia started fighting Ukraine after he left. He added that the Middle East broke into war as well.
Trump asked some families of people held in Gaza to stand up at the meeting. "We keep you in our hearts," he said. He promised to work hard until all held people came back home.
But in Gaza, people marched against Trump's words about US control. They stood near the al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Some held signs that read: "These lands are ours. We will build and make Gaza better with our strong will."
Jordan's former top talks man, Jawad al-Anani, shared his views with BBC radio. He said Trump is the world's strongest man, but he warned that this power comes with limits.
"If he plans to treat friends this way, who needs to be his friend?" al-Anani asked. He wondered why nations should just do what Trump says.
Trump had said some Gaza people could live in nearby lands, like Jordan. But al-Anani said Jordan had stood up to the US before. He thinks they must do it again.
Al-Anani said US money helps Jordan. But he added that keeping their land matters more than any help they might lose.
These events show how Trump's Gaza plan makes waves across many lands. His words push some to speak up against what they see as wrong plans for their home areas.
