On February 4, 2025, United States president Donald Trump proposed a U.S. takeover of the Gaza Strip and relocation of its inhabitants. The proposal was made during a ceasefire in the Gaza war, fought between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militants. Trump expressed his vision to redevelop the territory into the "Riviera of the Middle East".
The plan called for the forced displacement of approximately two million Palestinians to neighboring lands. It would also have required the removal of over 50 million tonnes of debris and unexploded ordnance. When asked how the territory would be acquired, Trump claimed the U.S. would "take it". The proposal received negative receptions from several nations and organizations, contrasting with strong support from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
