During his press conference, Trump suggested that Saudi Arabia was not demanding a Palestinian homeland. But statements from Saudi officials since then contradict this narrative and point to increasingly divergent views on Gaza – and indeed, the future of Palestine – between Riyadh and Washington.

President Trump told reporters last month that he would urge the leaders of Jordan and Egypt to take in Gaza's now largely homeless population.

Palestinians, Arab governments and world leaders have rejected US President Donald Trump’s shock proposal to take over the Gaza Strip and resettle its people, even as he insisted that “everybody loves” the idea.

Several Arab nations as well as the Arab League pushed back on a suggestion by US President Donald Trump that Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated en masse to Egypt and Jordan.

Trump's proposal to "clean out" Gaza and transfer Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan has been formally rejected by a group of Arab nations and representatives.
