**Trump's Controversial Gaza Proposal Sparks Global Criticism**
**The former president's ambition to oversee Gaza's recovery raises challenging questions.**
In a recent address, former President Donald Trump reiterated his controversial vision to take charge of postwar Gaza and facilitate the resettlement of Palestinians. He described the initiative as a plan to create one of the “greatest and most spectacular developments” in the region. During his comments, Trump emphasized that there would be no deployment of U.S. troops to Gaza, even as Israel's defense minister reported on drafting plans for voluntary evacuations from the area.
However, Trump's ambitious scheme left numerous pressing questions unanswered, including the destination for Gazans, the estimated number of willing evacuees, and the future governance of the enclave. Critics argue that his proposal draws attention away from an ongoing cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which is set to conclude its initial six-week phase in early March.
Despite significant backlash from Middle Eastern leaders, Palestinian representatives, and U.S. allies, Trump remained steadfast in his stance. He claimed on Truth Social that Israel would transfer the Gaza Strip to U.S. oversight following the end of military hostilities. Analysts suggest that while Trump is keen on preventing a resurgence of the conflict, his lack of clarity on practical measures to oust Hamas complicates the conversation.
In related developments, a federal judge issued a ruling preventing Trump's efforts to abolish birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants. Furthermore, a temporary injunction halted the government from enforcing any deadline for federal workers to resign, following a mass response from over 40,000 employees. Additionally, Japan's prime minister and Trump are set to meet to discuss crucial trade and security assurances.
As thousands across America rallied against Trump, expressing discontent through protests, the former president's approach continues to polarize nations and citizens alike.
