Speaking to the BBC, residents of a tent camp in the central town of Deir al-Balah expressed shock and defiance at the idea of being permanently resettled outside.
"Even if it costs us our souls, we will not leave Gaza," said Mahmoud Bahjat, who is from the north. "We are against Trump's decision. He ended the war but displacing us would end our lives."
On the other hand, many Israelis have been expressing satisfaction at the radical ideas from the White House, particularly those on the far-right who seek to resettle Gaza.
Trump's big fat mouth is mentioned here. #876522
In this case, Trump is an idiot! The Palestinians are at home, their home and it has been their home for time immemorial. He is saying cleanse Gasa of all Palestinians for the sake of peace. It is the same as saying cleanse all of America of Americans so the people of the world can have it for peace. Yeah, why not? That will work real well considering what has been going on there since 1945, won’t it? Genocide is genocide no matter who does it nor how it is done.

Trump's real-estate instincts clash with his America First worldview
Should Trump's Gaza development plan, which includes the resettlement of more than two million Palestinians and US "ownership" of the contested lands be taken literally or seriously? Both, or neither?
Trump's proposal flies in the face of the deeply held wishes of the Palestinian people and has been summarily rejected by the Arab nations that would have to play an integral part in resettling those displaced from war-torn Gaza.
It has also triggered howls of protest from the international community, as well as the president's domestic critics in the Democratic Party.
"Developing war-torn land like a Trump golf resort isn't a peace plan, it's an insult," said Democratic Congressman Troy Carter of Louisiana. "Serious leaders pursue real solutions, not real estate deals." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce9nmm3nvdno
