DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) 鈥� President Donald Trump鈥檚 proposal that聽聽and permanently resettle its Palestinian residents was swiftly rejected and denounced on Wednesday by American allies and adversaries alike.

Trump鈥檚 suggestion came at a White House news conference with聽, who smiled several times as the president detailed a plan to build new settlements for Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, and for the U.S. to take 鈥渙wnership鈥� in redeveloping the war-torn territory into 鈥渢he Riviera of the Middle East.鈥�

鈥淭he U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,鈥� Trump said. 鈥淲e鈥檒l own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs.鈥�

The comments came amid a聽, during which the militant group has been turning over聽聽held by Israel.

Egypt, Jordan and other American allies in the Middle East have already rejected the idea of relocating more than 2 million Palestinians from Gaza elsewhere in the region. Following Trump鈥檚 remarks, Egypt鈥檚 Foreign Ministry issued a statement stressing the need for rebuilding 鈥渨ithout moving the Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip.鈥�

Saudi Arabia, an important American ally, weighed in quickly on Trump鈥檚 expanded idea to take over the Gaza Strip in a sharply worded statement, noting that its long call for an independent Palestinian state was a 鈥渇irm, steadfast and unwavering position.鈥�

鈥淭he kingdom of Saudi Arabia also stresses what it had previously announced regarding its absolute rejection of infringement on the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, whether through Israeli settlement policies, annexation of Palestinian lands or efforts to displace the Palestinian people from their land,鈥� the statement said.

The prime ministers of Australia and Ireland, foreign ministries from China, New Zealand and Germany, and a Kremlin spokesman all reiterated support for a two-state solution.

Trump has already made waves 鈥� and upset longtime allies 鈥� suggesting the聽聽and the聽. It was not immediately clear whether the idea of taking over the Gaza Strip was a well thought out plan, or an opening gambit in negotiations.

鈥淭he comments last night were, of course, very concerning,鈥� said Irish Prime Minister Miche谩l Martin. 鈥淚 always adopt the approach when it comes to the U.S. administration of: judge them based on what they do and not what they say.鈥�

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told state-run Anadolu Agency that Trump鈥檚 proposal on 鈥渄eportations from Gaza is not something that either the region or we would accept.鈥�

鈥淓ven thinking about it, in my opinion, is wrong and absurd,鈥� Fidan said.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called for the United Nations to 鈥減rotect the Palestinian people and their inalienable rights,鈥� saying that what Trump wanted to do would be 鈥渁 serious violation of international law.鈥�

Hamas, which sparked the war with its Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, said Trump鈥檚 proposal was a 鈥渞ecipe for creating chaos and tension in the region.鈥�

鈥淚nstead of holding the Zionist occupation accountable for the crime of genocide and displacement, it is being rewarded, not punished,鈥� the militant group said in a statement.

In its attack on Israel, Hamas killed some 1,200 people, primarily civilians, and took about 250 hostages.

Israel鈥檚 ensuing air and ground war has has killed over 47,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to local health authorities who do not say how many of the dead were fighters.

In the U.S., opposition politicians quickly rejected Trump鈥檚 idea, with Democratic Sen. Chris Coons calling his comments 鈥渙ffensive and insane and dangerous and foolish.鈥�

The idea 鈥渞isks the rest of the world thinking that we are an unbalanced and unreliable partner because our president makes insane proposals,鈥� Coons said, noting the irony of the proposal coming shortly after Trump聽.

鈥淲hy on earth would we abandon decades of well-established humanitarian programs around the world, and now launch into one of the world鈥檚 greatest humanitarian challenges?鈥� Coons said.

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian American member of Congress from Michigan, accused Trump in a social media post of 鈥渙penly calling for ethnic cleansing鈥� with the idea of resettling Gaza鈥檚 entire population.
