Majority of Americans reject Trump’s Gaza 'takeover' plan, poll finds

A new survey of 1,200 Americans found that 64 percent oppose President Donald Trump’s proposal for the US to "take over" Gaza and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East."

The poll, conducted by Data for Progress, outlined that such a plan would involve the forced displacement of approximately 1.8 million Palestinians to neighbouring countries.

“A strong majority of voters are against the US seizing control of Gaza and expelling its Palestinian population, with even greater opposition to deploying American troops to enforce the plan,” the organisation stated.
