Backing Israel Against Hamas
President Donald Trump has pledged his support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he decides to rescue remaining hostages or resume fighting against Hamas. This comes as part of a broader stance where Trump views his plan for Gaza as the "best approach" despite widespread criticism.
Controversial Gaza Plan

However, Arab states have rejected this idea outright.
International Reactions
The international community remains skeptical about Trump's vision for Gaza. His suggestion that displaced Palestinians would not return due to better housing options elsewhere has been met with strong opposition. Additionally, threats to cut foreign aid if countries do not comply with accepting displaced Palestinians have further strained relations
