US will 'look at all options' for Gaza takeover as UN warns against 'ethnic cleansing'
The US is "prepared to look at all options", Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says in regards to Donald Trump's proposal for the US to take a "long-term ownership position" of Gaza
With the White House declining to rule out the forcible transfer of Palestinians from Gaza, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has warned "it is essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing"
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Trump's "generous offer" to help clean up Gaza shouldn't be viewed as a "hostile move"
The Palestinian Authority says Palestinians won't be resettled, while people in Gaza tell the BBC "this is our land"
Some key US allies have also rejected the suggestion - the UK says Palestinians should "live and prosper in their homelands", Egypt says Gaza should be redeveloped without its people leaving, while Saudi Arabia "rejects any attempts to displace the Palestinians"
Is any of this serious? With Trump, it's hard to tell, writes our correspondent Paul Adams
