أعرب زعيم المعارضة الفيدرالية، بيتر داتون، عن تحفظه على تصريحات الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترامب بشأن فكرة استيلاء الولايات المتحدة على غزة. وقد أثارت تصريحات ترامب موجة انتقادات واسعة، حيث اعتبرها العديد من القادة والمحللين بمثابة تطهير عرقي، مؤكدين أنها لن تساهم في حل الصراع في الشرق الأوسط. ورغم الجدل الدائر، يرى داتون أن الرئيس الأمريكي يسعى للضغط على الحلفاء من أجل زيادة مساهماتهم في إعادة إعمار المنطقة، مشيرًا إلى أن تصريحاته قد تكون جزءًا من تكتيك تفاوضي. وفي حديثه مع راديو 2GB، قال داتون إنه يعتقد أن تصريحات ترامب التي أشارت في البداية إلى إعادة التوطين الدائم قد تحمل أبعادًا تتجاوز المعنى الظاهر.
