Gazans, enduring nearly two years of war that has left Gaza in ruins and over 57,000 Palestinians dead, have overwhelmingly rejected President Trump's proposal endorsed by Israel’s Netanyahu to displace Gaza’s 2.3 million residents to neighboring countries. Egypt and Jordan swiftly dismissed the plan, which rights groups and Palestinians denounce as ethnic cleansing. While nearly half of Gazans say they would leave if given the chance amid relentless bombardment, most refuse to abandon their land. A leaked aid-backed proposal for “Humanitarian Transit Areas” met firm resistance from locals, who cite historical trauma dating to the 1948 Nakba. Gazans insist: “This is our country, we’re staying.” (PC: CNN & Fox News)
