During a business roundtable in Qatar on May 15, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump proposed turning war-torn Gaza into a U.S.-controlled “freedom zone.” He described the enclave as “nearly uninhabitable” after Israeli military operations and suggested its redevelopment into a prosperous coastal hub akin to the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Trump hinted at potential relocation of Gaza’s population—drawing sharp criticism from Palestinians, Arab nations, and international human rights groups, who view the plan as a violation of international law and a threat to regional stability.
