There has been widespread condemnation of Donald Trump’s proposal to transfer Palestinians out of Gaza and have the US take over the war-ruined enclave.

The Amerocam president made the surprising proposal during the visit of Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, saying he envisioned transforming Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East".

Trump’s remarks drew rebukes from nations such as Russia, China, and Germany, which said it would foster "new suffering and new hatred." Middle East heavyweight Saudi Arabia rejected the proposal outright.

Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyhu has given Donald Trump’s plan his support on Fox News.

However, the Palestinian ambassador to Ireland, Dr Jilan Abdalmajid says the people of Gaza are going nowhere.

To discuss all of this and more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Professor Of Politics at DCU, Donnacha Ó Beacháin, and Chair of Sadaka, Former Director of Trócaire, Éamonn Meehan.
