Gaza’s Future Under U.S. Control

During bilateral talks with the U.S. President Donald Trump, in the first visit of a foreign leader to Trump’s White House, Netanyahu and Trump discussed key bilateral issues including a possible peace deal on the Gaza Strip. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington this week continues to attract the attention of the world community.

Particular attention focussed on Trump’s statements about the US’s readiness to take control of Gaza and transform it into the “Riviera of the Middle East“. 

U.S. Plans for the Gaza Strip

President Trump said that the U.S. is ready to take control of the Gaza Strip with the aim of restoring and transforming the enclave.

Trump noted that demining, demolishing destroyed buildings, and creating infrastructure will be carried out in the region. Trump expressed his intention to turn Gaza into a prosperous region, comparing it to the resort areas of the Mediterranean.

Netanyahu’s Reaction

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed support for Trump's initiatives, calling him "Israel's best friend in the White House." 

Netanyahu noted that the proposed measures could help strengthen Israel’s security and stability in the region.

International Community Condemns Trump’s Latest 

The U.S. proposal to take control of the Gaza Strip and transform it into a prosperous region faces criticism from both international organisations and a number of states. 

Critics point to the complexity of the situation in Gaza, including political instability, high levels of violence, and human suffering, which makes the implementation of the proposed plan extremely problematic.

Experts doubt that the local population will accept U.S. intervention, especially given the possible resistance and protests.

Questions about the legitimacy of an external party using forcible transfer of a population in a sovereign territory defined as ‘occupied’ under international humanitarian law and by U.S. standards, for the time being, remains relevant to the majority of the international community.

Prospects for Gazans

If the United States takes control of the Gaza Strip, it could lead to significant changes in the political and social structure of the region. 

Questions about the legality of such an intervention, the reaction of the local population, and the possible consequences for the security of Israel and neighbouring countries remains wide open. 

Netanyahu’s visit to Washington and discussions with Trump underscore the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship and its impact on the situation in the Middle East. The future of the Gaza Strip and the role of the United States in its reconstruction remain key issues in international politics.

The U.S. proposal to take control of the Gaza Strip draws criticism for its difficulty in implementing the plan and for the legitimacy of the intervention. Despite Israel’s support, questions remain about how this plan would work in theory and the reactions of neighbouring Arab states.

The future of Gaza and the U.S. role in its reconstruction remain critical in any future peace in the Middle East.
