As President Trump floated a possible American takeover of the Gaza Strip, leaders throughout the world have rejected the controversial proposal.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, proposing a major shift in Middle East policy, called for the U.S. to take over the Gaza Strip and relocate roughly two million Palestinians to neighboring Arab countries. His goal, he said, is to turn the war-ravaged enclave into the "Riviera of the Middle East."

Arab countries, including Egypt and Jordan, have condemned such plans and roundly rejected President Trump's suggestion that they take in more Palestinian refugees.
