President Donald Trump's contentious proposal to relocate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip has sent ripples across the Middle East, a region still reeling from the recent Israel-Hamas conflict.

The Qatar-based pan-Arab broadcaster Al Jazeera, which played a crucial role in mediating the ceasefire during the war, described Trump's comments as a 'shock announcement.'

Hamas swiftly rejected Trump's suggestion, stating that it not only fails to hold the 'Zionist occupation' accountable but also rewards it. 'We reject Trump's statements in which he said that the residents of the Gaza Strip have no choice but to leave,' Hamas declared, labeling it a recipe for chaos and regional tension.
