President Trump's recent comments about U.S. control of Gaza and displacing over 2 million Palestinians mark a troubling escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His statements suggest a harsh solution to what he describes as a humanitarian crisis. The history of Gaza is rooted in the 1948 war that displaced many Palestinians, establishing a large refugee population that still exists today. This commentary highlights how Trump’s suggestion resonates painfully with historical grievances among Palestinians who view themselves as refugees with a right to return.
