Senator John Fetterman, who is a Democrat, said he would support an American occupation of the Gaza Strip, saying that Palestinians have failed to provide security and economic development for themselves. After Trump's remarks, Palestine's ambassador to the UN rejected his suggestion.
Hamas, which controls Gaza, also rejected the idea. In a statement, they said Palestinians will not be, quote, expelled from their land. Many of the people who live in Gaza today are descendants of Palestinians who were forced out of their homes during the 1948 war in an event known as the Nakba, or catastrophe.

Trump's plan would clear a major obstacle for Netanyahu. Many analysts believe it will be nearly impossible for Netanyahu to fully end the war in Gaza if Hamas is still in control of the Strip. This announcement comes at a critical time in a very fragile Middle East. Israel and Hamas are still in phase one of the ceasefire deal.

Israel and Hezbollah are also in a pause of fighting in Lebanon, and there are growing concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities. Trump's proposal will surely rattle all sides in an already volatile situation.

All of this is raising major questions about the scope of Musk's role in the federal government and has already prompted legal challenges. After all, Musk is the world's richest man, a private citizen who did not get elected or go through congressional hearings to get this role.
