Last week, and less than a month after the ceasefire in Gaza took place, US President Donald Trump announced plans to administer the Gaza Strip under American control after the final stage of the ceasefire and to relocate the strip’s Palestinian population, turning the Gaza strip into what Trump has described as the “Riviera of the Middle-East”.

While lauded by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right cabinet, Trump’s proposal was unanimously rejected and condemned, both by Middle-Eastern nations in the region but also US and Israeli allies like Canada and the United Kingdom, who reaffirmed their support for a two-state solution.

However, while Aotearoa’s official policy is also to support a two-state solution to the Israeli occupation of Palestine, there has been no comment on Trump’s proposal by Foreign Minister Winston Peters, or any other government official.

In that same week, the government announced that they would be investing $774 million towards improving the redress process for survivors of abuse in state care in Budget 2025.
