US allies are broadly rejecting Donald Trump's plans for a US takeover of the Gaza strip. 

The US President has again doubled down on the idea, posting on social media that Israel will turn over Gaza to the US when fighting has "concluded". 

He's also reiterating his plan to resettle Palestinians in new housing elsewhere in the Middle East. 

Correspondent Vincent McAviney says US allies in Europe and the Middle East aren't criticising Trump directly, but they aren't supporting the idea. 

He says leaders have been restating their support for a two-state solution, with Palestinians being able to keep their land.
