"Palestine is not for sale," chanted the protesters who gathered in front of the White House. They declared that they will continue to resist for every piece of Palestine. This protest followed Trump's announcement about plans for the U.

Trump said the U.S. would take over the war-ravaged Gaza Strip and develop it economically after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere, actions that would shatter decades of U.S. policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In interviews, some Palestinians said they would rather leave Gaza, given the inescapable devastation — but the decision was theirs, not Trump’s, to make.
