TOPSHOT - Shahira Sammour, 49, poses in front of her destroyed home in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, on February 9, 2025. Israel's military offensive in response to Hamas's October 7,2023, attack has left much of Gaza in ruins, including schools, hospitals and most civil infrastructure. Human Rights Watch said the destruction of Gaza "reflects a calculated Israeli policy to make parts of the strip unlivable". Last week, US President Donald Trump floated the idea of US administration over Gaza, envisioning rebuilding the devastated territory into the "Riviera of the Middle East" after resettling Palestinians elsewhere, namely Egypt and Jordan. The remarks have prompted global backlash, and Arab countries have firmly rejected the proposal, insisting on a two-state solution with an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
