Why Donald Trump believes US should ‘take over & own’ Gaza—And what it could mean for the region

Former US President Donald Trump has proposed that the United States should "take over" Gaza, rebuild it, and transform it into an economic hub. His plan includes resettling Palestinians in neighboring Arab countries and possibly deploying US troops. The proposal has drawn sharp criticism from political leaders, human rights groups, and international observers, with concerns over its legality, feasibility, and impact on regional stability.
