​This study explores the rhetorical strategies used by US President Donald Trump's proposal for the forced displacement of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. It employs a pragmatic analysis framework to scrutinize Trump's statements, focusing on pragmatic presuppositions and speech acts. By examining purposively sampled extracts from Trump's White House meetings, this study provides an in-depth analysis of Trump’s rhetorical strategies in his proposal for the forced displacement of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The findings highlight Trump's discourse on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and his rhetoric of forced displacement, disregarding international law and Palestinian rights. His speech acts employ various functions, shaping the dominant narrative surrounding Gaza and Palestine. At the same time, his approach to conflict resolution relied on economic incentives and US control, neglecting the conflict's intricacies and power dynamics. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of Trump’s rhetorical approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its implications for international relations.​​
