The UK opposes Trumps vision to transform Gaza, prioritizing the return of Palestinians and a free state, differing sharply from Trumps proposed takeover.
Steve Reed responded to Trump’s suggestion. He didn’t directly criticize him at first but said Palestinians need to rebuild their homes. He avoided commenting on Trump’s statements and credited Trump for the ceasefire.
The UK thinks Palestinians should go home and rebuild their lives there. The Liberal Democrats called Trump’s plan bizarre. They want international law observed and a two-state solution based on 1967 borders.
Trump wants to “take over” Gaza and resettle Palestinians elsewhere, possibly even using American troops. He called Gaza a “hell hole” during a press conference where he spoke with Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Trump thinks the US should “own” Gaza long-term. He said this could help the region be stable and believes many people like his idea. He thinks his plan will bring stability and peace.
Priti Patel also reacted cautiously, saying no single country can do it alone. She spoke about rebuilding Gaza and said partners in the Gulf states must help, suggesting Saudi Arabia will have to play a role.
