After President Trump's startling proposal of an American takeover of the Gaza Strip, Palestinian Americans were left in shock. During a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Trump suggested relocating Palestinians, prompting immediate backlash from world leaders citing breaches of international law. Palestinian Americans expressed outrage and disbelief, with many finding the expulsion idea both absurd and horrifying. In the wake of reactions and opposition, the administration attempted to clarify that such a proposal was not yet a commitment, echoing sentiments of turmoil in Middle Eastern politics.
Honestly, it was pandemonium... Everyone was texting each other. There were mixed emotions—some people thought it was hilarious, some people were furious. But nobody saw this coming.
The idea of expelling millions of people from the Gaza Strip and placing it under American control was horrifying and absurd, and also unsurprising, given the broader context of Middle Eastern history.
Outrageous, criminal, harebrained. How much time do you have?
The plan was met with immediate opposition from world leaders, who called it a breach of international law and a threat to regional stability in the Middle East.
