US President Donald Trumps' proposal to 'take over' the Gaza Strip and turn it into the 'Riviera of the Middle East' has drawn backlash from Palestinian officials, several world leaders and human rights organizations. Israel has unsurprisingly thrown support for this plan. Dr Eyal Mayroz, Senior Lecturer of Peace and Conflict Studies from The University of Sydney, shares his insights.
