The jihadist terror organization Hamas reacted with outrage to President Donald Trump’s unprecedented proposal on Tuesday for the United States to seize the Gaza Strip and turn it into a global resort destination, calling Trump “irresponsible.”
Hamas is a genocidal radical Islamist terror group backed by Iran whose objective is the destruction of the Israeli state. Gaza was plunged into a brutal war following Hamas’s decision to invade Israel on October 7, 2023, killing an estimated 1,300 people and abducting dozens of others. Hamas terrorists tortured, gang raped, abducted, and desecrated the corpses of their victims, the vast majority of them civilians living their lives peacefully when the terrorists appeared. Hamas jihadists conducted door-to-door raids in which they killed entire families in their homes, ravaged a music festival for peace, and uploaded an extensive amount of video content of their crimes on that day. Some victims are believed to have been as young as infants.
Trump, Hamas insisted on Wednesday, was “irresponsible,” according to Iran’s PressTV propaganda agency.
“These remarks are hostile to our people and our cause,” Hamas complained in a statement, demanding the U.S. government retract Trump’s statements, “calling them irresponsible and in contradiction with the international law and the rights of the Palestinian nation.”
There is no functional, widely recognized Palestinian state. The United Nations and some allied countries recognize the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank as a state government, but do not include Hamas and its territory in Gaza as part of that government.
“Trump’s remarks about his desire to control Gaza are ridiculous and absurd, and any ideas of this kind are capable of igniting the region,” senior Hamas terrorist Sami Abu Zuhri condemned in a separate statement. “We consider them [the plan] a recipe for generating chaos and tension in the region because the people of Gaza will not allow such plans to pass.”

Fellow Hamas terrorist Izzat el-Reshiq accused Trump of suffering from “confusion and deep ignorance” about the situation in Gaza.
“Gaza is certainly not a common land and it is not a property that can be bought and sold. American bias towards Israel and against our Palestinian people and against their just rights continues,” el-Reshiq complained.
Trump is currently hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House, who declared war on Hamas following the October 7 attacks. In remarks to the press on Tuesday night, Trump debuted a proposal for the U.S. government to seize control from Hamas, clear it of Hamas terrorist infrastructure, bombs, and weapons, and turn it into a global entertainment and tourism destination.

Trump announced that the US will ‘take over the Gaza Strip’ and rebuild it
FOX NEWS | Published February 6, 2025
The Palestinian terrorist group whose attack on Israel launched the war in Gaza is now calling President Donald Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to rebuild the territory a “recipe for creating chaos and tension in the region.”
Trump sent shockwaves throughout the Middle East after announcing last night that the U.S. will “take over the Gaza Strip,” level it and rebuild the area.
“Instead of holding the Zionist occupation accountable for the crime of genocide and displacement, it is being rewarded, not punished,” Hamas told the Associated Press Wednesday.
Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, led to the Israeli military entering the Gaza Strip in their mission to eliminate the Palestinian terrorist group. As a result, the conflict has rendered much of the territory uninhabitable. The U.N. estimated late last year that 1.9 million people – around 90% of Gaza’s population – have been internally displaced.
“What President Trump stated about his intention to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip outside it and the United States’ control over the Strip by force is a crime against humanity,” a senior Hamas official also told Fox News on Wednesday.
“We demand that the mediators, especially the United States, oblige the occupation to implement the ceasefire agreement in its three stages without procrastination or manipulation, as we are committed to implementing the agreement as long as the occupation commits to it, and any manipulation in implementing the agreement may cause it to collapse,” the official added.
