POLL: 64% OF AMERICANS OPPOSE TRUMP’S GAZA TAKEOVER PLAN

Thu 13 February 2025:

A new survey of 1,200 people in the US were asked what they thought of President Trump’s call for the United States to “take over” and “own” Gaza and transform it from a “demolition site” into the “Riviera of the Middle East”.

The poll – conducted by the group Data for Progress – explained such a takeover would require forcibly resettling about 1.8 million Palestinians who live in Gaza into neighbouring countries.

About 64 percent of respondents said they “oppose” Trump’s plan.

“A strong majority of voters are opposed to the US taking over Gaza and resettling the Palestinians who live there, and even more respondents reject the idea of the US sending troops to the Middle East to accomplish this plan,” Data for Progress said.

Egypt and Jordan agree that Gaza should be rebuilt without displacing Palestinians

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah agree that Gaza should be rebuilt without removing Palestinians, Egypt’s presidency said in a statement following a phone call between the two heads of state.

US President Donald Trump has pushed for a plan to resettle the Palestinian population to both Egypt and Jordan, a proposal both countries have rejected repeatedly.

“The two leaders affirmed the unity of the Egyptian and Jordanian positions, including the necessity of the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, the continued release of hostages and prisoners and facilitating the entry of humanitarian aid,” the Egyptian presidency said.

The presidency stressed the need for the “immediate start of the reconstruction process in the Gaza Strip, without displacing the Palestinian people from their land”.
