Trump administration special envoy Steve Witkoff said the administration is “exploring” alternatives for relocation of the Palestinian people after President Trump said he would potentially take over Gaza to rebuild after its war with Israel.

Host Margaret Brennan asked Witkoff about the administration’s plans for relocating the 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, noting that in the past he said they would work with Egypt or Jordan. “I mean, I think we’re exploring, Margaret, all alternatives and options that leads to a better life for Gazans, and, by the way, for the people of Israel,” Witkoff said. “So, we’re exploring all of those things.”

Trump has doubled down on his proposal for the U.S. to take responsibility for the Gaza Strip, which is currently controlled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The president has suggested turning the land into a “Riviera of the Middle East,” shared an artificial intelligence video envisioning the future strip and said Palestinians will be permanently relocated after the war.

The idea has met with a great deal of criticism, but Witkoff brushed aside concerns and highlighted the U.S. proposal sent to Hamas.

1. This would enrage me and totally radicalize me

if I were thrown off my land to make way for a trump Gaza. Of course the land issue with creation of Israel is part of the ongoing problem. It wasnt handled well, and they've been fighting over ancestral land for generations now. this will be only worse, Throw the Arabs out of not only there own country, but their continent? Who would stand for that? Maybe trump, if he got enough money, but land and ancestry mean nothing to him if he can't monetize them. I can see that hotel being bombed into oblivion time and time again. Not only that, but it would open us up to more 911's here at home, as the great satan, truly now the Imperialist makes decisions as to who can live where. No way do I see this as good.

4. What happened to moving them to Somalia, Somaliland, or Sudan?

I read the entire short article and no mention of that at all.

Here's the Somalia, Somaliland, or Sudan article --

5. Send them where Islam is prosperous..... Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates.

Trump has great relations with SA.

Yeah! Right!

6. They tried Sudan, Somali and Somaliland

Apparently that didn't work. Netanyahu tried to send some to Democratic Republic of Congo which also didn't work out.
