The Wall Street Journal
In a bold move, Saudi Arabia has dismissed President Trump's proposal for the US to take control of Gaza, citing concerns over Palestinian displacement. The idea, which suggests Palestinians permanently leave the strip, is likely to be met with resistance from other Middle Eastern nations. With the Middle East peace process already fragile, this proposal has sparked debate over the future of Gaza and the role of the US in the region. Key issues such as territorial control and refugee rights are at the forefront of discussions. The proposal's failure may have significant implications for regional stability and US-Middle East relations, highlighting the need for a comprehensive and inclusive peace plan.
