Syria's Sharaa calls Trump Gaza plan 'serious crime' bound to fail

Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, said in an interview with a UK podcast that US President Donald Trump's plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza and take over the Strip "is a serious crime that will ultimately fail".

Trump has said the US will take over the Gaza Strip and develop it economically after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere. He said Palestinians would not have the right to return to Gaza under his proposal.
