Texas Democrat Congressman Al Green has reignited calls to impeach President Donald J. Trump, citing what he describes as “dastardly deeds proposed and desperately deeds done.”
The announcement comes on the heels of President Trump’s high-profile meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which Trump unveiled a controversial proposal for the United States to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and oversee its redevelopment.
Congressman Green, a long-time critic of President Trump, declared his intention to introduce articles of impeachment during a press conference on Capitol Hill.
“The movement to impeach the president has begun,” Green stated. “I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and desperately deeds done.”

This is not the first time Green has pushed for Trump’s impeachment. He has been a vocal advocate for removing the president since the early days of Trump’s first term, though his efforts have yet to gain significant traction in Congress. This latest move, however, comes amid heightened political tensions and renewed scrutiny of the president’s actions, both domestically and internationally.
In a joint press conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu on Tuesday, President Trump announced a bold and controversial plan for the United States to assume long-term ownership of the Gaza Strip. Trump suggested that the U.S. could oversee the territory’s redevelopment after resettling Palestinians elsewhere, envisioning Gaza as “The Riviera of the Middle East.”
The proposal comes amid ongoing conflict in the region and follows remarks by Trump’s Middle East envoy that a three to five-year timeline for Gaza’s reconstruction is not a viable post-war plan. Trump outlined his vision, stating that the U.S. would be responsible for clearing unexploded bombs, dismantling destroyed buildings, and redeveloping the area economically. However, he did not provide specific details on how Palestinians would be resettled or where they would go.

“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land,” Trump said, emphasizing that the plan would ensure stability in the region. He also hinted at the possibility of visiting Gaza, stating, “I will go to Israel, and I may go to Gaza,” though he did not announce a timeline for the trip.
Prime Minister Netanyahu praised Trump as “the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House” and expressed strong support for the proposal. He likened Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas to the Allies’ struggle against the Nazis during World War II, arguing that lasting peace is impossible if Hamas remains in power. “You can’t talk about peace if this toxic and murderous organization is left standing,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu also highlighted Trump’s decision to lift a Biden-era pause on shipping 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, a move that has bolstered Israel’s military capabilities. “Israel’s victory will be America’s victory,” he declared.

Trump’s proposal has sparked immediate debate, with critics questioning the feasibility and ethics of the U.S. taking ownership of Gaza. The plan raises significant legal, political, and humanitarian concerns, particularly regarding the resettlement of Palestinians and the long-term governance of the territory.
Congressman Green’s impeachment push appears to be tied, at least in part, to these concerns, though he did not provide specific details about which actions or policies would form the basis of his articles of impeachment.
