Middle East: Trump's Gaza plan rejected by UAE

Feb 21, 2025

Dubai [UAE], February 21: United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan informed visiting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that his country rejects the displacement of Palestinians from their land.
Rubio's visit to the UAE comes ahead of a Friday summit in Saudi Arabia of the six-state Gulf Cooperation Council, Egypt, and Jordan, in order to respond to US President Donald Trump's plan for post-war Gaza.
Trump has proposed "taking over" the Palestinian enclave and relocating its 2.4 million inhabitants, primarily to neighboring Jordan and Egypt. He described Gaza as uninhabitable.
Reconstruction in Gaza is clearly necessary. After over a year of Israeli bombardment - in retaliation for the October 7, 2023, attacks by the Gaza-based militant group Hamas - much of the enclave lies in ruins. A fragile ceasefire is currently in effect.
