Before his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on February 4, Trump suggested permanently displacing Palestinians from Gaza, saying people there had no alternative but to leave the enclave devastated by U.S. ally Israel's military assault that has caused a dire humanitarian situation and killed tens of thousands.

The US president's comments have ranged from proposed ceasefires to a US takeover of Gaza and permanent displacement of Palestinians

But even though Palestinian lives have been shattered during the course of Israeli airstrikes and heavy bombardment, Al-Khaier and others flatly reject U.S. President Donald Trump’s Israeli-backed plan to displace Gaza’s 2.3 million population.
