Trump Proposes Forcible Displacement of 2.3 Million Palestinians from Gaza
President Trump publicly called for the removal of Gaza's Palestinian population, describing it as 'cleaning out' the territory. The UN, Arab League and international lawyers condemned the proposal as ethnic cleansing if implemented. The administration pressed Egypt and Jordan to accept Palestinians and reportedly explored relocation to Libya and East Africa; no transfer was carried out, and the September 2025 20-point plan states that no one will be forced to leave Gaza.
