Summary
Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza and resettle its Palestinian population was widely condemned by allies and adversaries alike.
Arab nations, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia, firmly rejected the plan, reaffirming support for Palestinian sovereignty. U.S. allies like Australia and New Zealand reiterated their backing of a two-state solution.
Critics, including Palestinian leaders and Hamas, denounced the move as illegal and destabilizing.
U.S. lawmakers also opposed it, with some calling it “dangerous” and “ethnic cleansing.”
Ethnic cleansing exists for when you are destroying a culture through means other than mass murder. It is absolutely a thing and it is not the same as genocide. Gaza is a genocide.
Genocide includes displacement, and does not necessarily require killing (at least per the UN definition)
