Trump Says Mass Expulsion Plan for Gaza’s Palestinians Doesn’t Include the Right of Return

HeadlineFeb 11, 2025

President Trump has said Palestinians will have no right of return to Gaza under his plan to expel the territory’s entire Palestinian population and for the U.S. to “own” Gaza. Trump spoke to Fox News’s Bret Baier.

President Donald Trump: “We’ll build beautiful communities for the 1.9 million people. We’ll build beautiful communities, safe communities, could be five, six, could be two. But we’ll build safe communities a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is. In the meantime, I would own this. Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful piece of land, no big money spent.

Bret Baier: “Would the Palestinians have the right to return?”

President Donald Trump: “No, they wouldn’t, because they’re going to have much better housing.”
