Could Trump's plans derail Saudi-Israel normalization? DW 02/11/2025
Briefly

Since Donald Trump's meeting with Netanyahu, the discussion regarding the future of Palestinians in Gaza has intensified. Trump has proposed relocating the Palestinian population to areas away from Gaza, suggesting Egypt and Jordan as host countries. However, this faces legal challenges and accusations of ethnic cleansing. Netanyahu further proposed that Saudi Arabia could establish a Palestinian state on its land, a suggestion rebuffed by Saudi officials who affirmed Palestinians' rights to their homeland. This marks a significant shift in US-Saudi relations compared to earlier diplomatic ties during Trump's previous term.
Trump clarified that the Palestinian population would not be allowed to return to the Gaza Strip if his plans to procure and rebuild take effect.
The kingdom affirms that the Palestinian people have a right to their land, and they are not intruders or immigrants to it who can be expelled.
