Trump Calls Gaza ‘Incredible Real Estate,’ Suggests U.S. Peace Force After Palestinian Removal

U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked outrage after suggesting that the U.S. should control Gaza — describing it as “incredible real estate” and “oceanfront property.” He made the remarks during a press appearance at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces war crimes charges at the International Criminal Court.

Trump proposed that a U.S. “peace force” take over Gaza and said Palestinians should be removed and sent to other countries. The event allowed only a few pro-Trump and Israeli reporters, raising concerns about the lack of press freedom and transparency.

A Clear Call for Ethnic Cleansing

Trump didn’t hold back. “If you take the Palestinians and move them around to different countries… you have plenty of countries that will do that,” he said. He then questioned why Israel ever “gave up” Gaza, adding, “They took oceanfront property.”

These comments go beyond controversial. They reflect a blatant call for ethnic cleansing — pushing for the removal of Palestinians from their land to make room for foreign control. Trump’s language treats Gaza like a business deal, not a land where over 2 million people live, suffer, and resist.

Ignoring History, Whitewashing Genocide

Trump’s statements distort reality. He suggests that Israel “gave” Gaza to Palestinians — ignoring the years of occupation, the suffocating blockade, and the genocide taking place today.

Since October 2023, Israel’s military assault has killed over 51,000 Palestinians in Gaza and injured more than 75,000. Bombs have flattened homes. Hospitals have turned to rubble. Families face starvation. Yet Trump talks about beachfront views.

His comments align with colonial logic — remove the people, take the land, and call it peace.

Netanyahu Supports Displacement

Netanyahu echoed similar ideas.
He said Israel’s assault aims to give Gazans the “option to leave to other countries.” In other words, forced displacement disguised as choice.

This isn’t new. Israeli officials and far-right supporters have repeatedly floated plans to remove Palestinians. But hearing it from two world leaders — in public — is a terrifying reminder of how normalized this rhetoric has become.

Erasing a People, Stealing Their Land

Gaza is not just land. It’s home. Generations of Palestinians live there. They have history, roots, and culture. Trump and Netanyahu talk about “options” and “ownership” while a genocide unfolds in real time.

These statements aren’t just offensive — they’re part of a campaign to erase a people and take what’s left. And they’re happening while the world watches.
