U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial Gaza resettlement plan has sparked a diplomatic storm across the Middle East. Proposing the permanent relocation of Palestinians and the transformation of Gaza into a "real estate development," Trump’s vision has been firmly rejected by Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Saudi Arabia denounced the plan as a violation of Palestinian sovereignty, while Jordan's King Abdullah II emphasized the historical and political implications, rejecting any forced relocation. As tensions rise, the united Arab stance underscores the complexities of Middle Eastern diplomacy and the enduring significance of the Palestinian right of return.

00:00The people living in Gaza to go back yet another time and we don't want Hamas going back.
00:06Hello and welcome to One India. U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial
00:11Gaza resettlement proposal has sparked a diplomatic storm across the Middle East.
00:17His vision to permanently relocate Palestinians from Gaza and transform the Strip into a quote
00:23unquote real estate development has been met with strong opposition from the key regional players,
00:29particularly Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The people living in Gaza to go back yet
00:34another time and we don't want Hamas going back and think of it as a big real estate site
00:42and the United States is going to own it and will slowly, very slowly, we're going to rush
00:49development, we're going to bring stability to the Middle East too.
00:52Saudi Arabia swiftly rejected Trump's plan viewing it as an affront to Palestinian sovereignty and
00:59a violation of international law. The Saudi government reiterated that unwavering support
01:05for the Palestinian right of return is still there and outlined in the Arab Peace Initiative
01:11as well. The kingdom also criticized Trump's rhetoric of better housing as dismissive of
01:18the Palestinians historical and cultural connection to their land. Jordan's opposition
01:24to Trump's proposal is rooted in historical, political and demographic realities. Hosting a
01:31significant Palestinian population, Jordan fears the plan could exacerbate internal tensions and
01:38threaten its stability. During a meeting at the White House, King Abdullah II firmly opposed any
01:44forced relocation of Palestinians, emphasizing that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza should be
01:50addressed without displacing its people. The rejection by Saudi Arabia and Jordan highlights
01:57the increasing diplomatic isolation of Trump's Gaza resettlement plan. Their united stance resonates
02:04with the broader Arab consensus, reinforcing the position that any resolution to the Palestinian
02:11issue must honor the right of return and respect Palestinian sovereignty. Also, Trump's suggestion
02:19of withholding aid from Jordan and Egypt if they refuse to accommodate displaced Palestinians
02:26has fueled tensions. While Trump later backtracked on this threat, his inconsistent messaging has
02:33created diplomatic uncertainty. So here's the bottom line. Trump's Gaza resettlement plan has
02:41not only been rejected by Saudi Arabia and Jordan, but has also deepened the diplomatic
02:45rift between the United States and its traditional Middle Eastern allies. The strong opposition from
02:52key Arab leaders signals that any future proposal for the region must respect historical, cultural
02:59and political realities and not just click talk. As the Middle East navigates this controversial
03:06chapter, the unified Arab stance reinforces the enduring importance of the Palestinians'
03:13right of return and the two-state solution. Don't miss out. Log on to OneIndia.com for more updates.
