The Palestine Liberation Organization said Wednesday that it rejected any plan involving the displacement of Palestinians, after President Donald Trump suggested Gazans move to Egypt or Jordan and the United States "take control" of the territory.

Secretary General Hussein al-Sheikh said the PLO "affirms its rejection of all calls for the displacement of the Palestinian people from their homeland" and renews its support for a two-state solution.

U.S. President Donald Trump's shock proposal for the United States to take over the Gaza Strip and resettle its people faced a resounding rejection from Palestinians, Middle East leaders and governments around the world on Wednesday.

Trump made his announcement to audible gasps during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he was hosting at the White House for talks.

Jonathan Zou, a second-year student at the University of Michigan, was among the thousands of students who joined pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses nationwide this past year. Although the campus protests have subsided, the repercussions for students like Zou remain.

Since his arrest by university police last Oct. 7 after using a megaphone during a pro-Palestinian march, Zou has been banned from all University of Michigan campuses, except for attending class or seeking medical care.

Fifteen Palestinian prisoners freed by Israel under the terms of the Gaza ceasefire have arrived in Turkey, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Tuesday.

"A few days ago, 15 Palestinians came to Turkey via Cairo after they were released," he told a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty.

Israel said it was sending a team to negotiate the next phase in its fragile ceasefire with Hamas, signaling possible progress ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

Netanyahu will be the first foreign leader to meet Trump in the White House since his return to power last month, and will likely face some pressure to honor the ceasefire the U.S. leader has claimed credit for.

Syria's interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa visits Ankara on Tuesday for talks with Turkey's leaders on rebuilding his land and the volatile issue of Kurdish fighters near the countries' border.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet Tuesday as the Israeli prime minister faces competing pressure from his right-wing coalition to end a temporary truce against Hamas militants in Gaza and from war-weary Israelis who want the remaining hostages home and the 15-month conflict to end.

Trump is guarded about the long-term prospects for the truce, even as he takes credit for pressuring Hamas and Israel into the hostage and ceasefire agreement that went into effect the day before he returned to office last month.

The Israeli army said two soldiers were killed in a shooting attack on a military post in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.

A further six soldiers were lightly wounded when "a terrorist fired at the soldiers at a military post in Tayasir" in the north of the territory, the army added.

A car bomb on Monday killed 15 people, mostly women farm workers, in the northern Syrian city of Manbij where Kurdish forces are battling Turkey-backed groups, state media reported.

Citing White Helmet rescuers, SANA news agency said there had been a "massacre" on a local road, with "the explosion of a car bomb near a vehicle transporting agricultural workers" killing 14 women and one man.

The office of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas denounced an Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank as "ethnic cleansing" on Monday, with the health ministry saying Israeli forces killed 70 people in the territory this year.

In a statement, spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said the Palestinian presidency "condemned the occupation authorities' expansion of their comprehensive war on our Palestinian people in the West Bank to implement their plans aimed at displacing citizens and ethnic cleansing."
