Perspectives on Ownership in Gaza

President Trump proposed a bold idea of U.S. ownership over the Gaza Strip to foster its redevelopment and create jobs, which drew mixed reactions. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed optimism, highlighting three primary objectives for Israel: dismantling Hamas's control, liberating hostages, and ensuring security from future threats. Trump's assertion that this ownership could break the cycle of violence was discussed, with claims that leaders from surrounding nations viewed the proposal positively. However, this proposal comes alongside a significant U.S. policy shift, including the withdrawal from several key international organizations for purportedly fostering anti-Israel sentiments.
