US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will propose an alternative plan for the Gaza Strip during his first official Middle East trip on Sunday. Rubio’s visit comes as President Donald Trump’s controversial proposal, which includes the US controlling Gaza and Palestinians leaving, has been rejected by world leaders.
During his stops in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, Rubio aims to encourage nations in the region to present their own proposals for the Gaza Strip, if they have concerns about the US taking control. The US approach will focus on finding a new solution that addresses regional concerns without displacing Gaza’s residents.
