Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians out of Gaza and take over the territory was rejected by several foreign nations, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and China.

DUBAI—Saudi Arabia on Wednesday dismissed a proposal by President Trump for the U.S. to take control of Gaza and for Palestinians to permanently leave the strip, an idea likely to be also rejected by other Arab nations.

Saudi Arabia on Tuesday reiterated that it will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
