US President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, making him the first foreign leader to visit.
During the meeting, Trump proposed a controversial plan to take long-term US ownership of Gaza, relocate Palestinians to neighbouring Arab countries, and redevelop the area into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
He suggested US troops could be deployed if necessary. Netanyahu backed the idea, calling Trump Israel’s greatest ally. The plan sparked global outrage, with critics warning it could escalate tensions.
Amnesty slammed the US for hosting Netanyahu, who faces war crimes allegations. Meanwhile, Trump also reimposed tough sanctions on Iran, reaffirming his administration’s hardline stance against Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
