Trump Impeachment 2025: Al Green Leads the Charge Over Gaza Takeover Plan
Al Green Revives Trump Impeachment 2025 Effort Amid Gaza Controversy
In a dramatic escalation of political tension, Democratic Rep. Al Green has mounted yet another campaign to impeach Trump in 2025 following the former president’s shocking suggestion that the U.S. “take over” Gaza and forcibly resettle its Palestinian population.
Green, who long opposed Trump, announced in a floor speech that what Trump had proposed are “dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.” According to the Texas congressman, who led multiple unsuccessful attempts to impeach Trump in the past, Trump’s latest proposal warrants immediate action.
Outrage over Trump’s Gaza Plan
The proposal was made public during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump says that the U.S. should take control of Gaza, expropriate its population, and restore it into a luxurious economic hub.
“We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump described, envisioning Gaza becoming the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
His plan was met with widespread condemnation. Critics deemed it “ethnic cleansing” and “a violation of international law.” Many U.S. allies, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, were quick to reject the idea of accepting displaced Palestinians.

Al Green’s Case for Impeachment
Rep. Al Green, a vocal proponent of holding Trump accountable, contends that Trump’s Gaza proposal amounts to an impeachable offense.
“Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is no joke,” Green stated. “Especially when it comes from the president of a nation that happens to be the strongest in the world.”
Quoting Martin Luther King Jr., he added, like everybody knows, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, says they are dangerous power abuses, and says he plans to run a grassroots effort to guarantee impeachment goes forward.
Democratic Leadership Split on Trump Impeachment 2025
While Green has a massive hill to climb, the Democratic Party is divided over the question of pursuing impeachment.
House Democratic leadership, which includes Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA), downplayed the effort, claiming it is not currently a priority. Yet some progressives, such as Rep. Jamie Raskin, suggested they would consider Cleveland’s impeachment if the Republicans had the upper hand.
“If you find two Republicans, I will start my work tomorrow,” Raskin said.
This hesitation further stresses the challenge Green faces with his impeachment push.
A History of Impeachment Attempts
Trump has already been impeached twice for:
- In 2019, the House impeached him for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over his attempts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.
- In 2021, again by the House, for inciting the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Both times Trump was acquitted in the Senate.
Rep. Al Green played a huge role in pushing for Trump’s first impeachment, trying to impeach him multiple times. He has failed to do so, but no matter what, Al Green wants to see Trump brought to justice.
Will the Trump Impeachment 2025 Movement Come to Life?
For now, Green stands alone. But he insists that public pressure can change the political dynamics.
“The people have to demand it,” he said. “And when they demand it, it will be done.”
While impeachment seems unlikely at the moment, thanks to Trump’s radical proposals and history of controversial policies, the debate over his fitness for office is far from over.
Conclusion
The Trump Impeachment 2025 movement, in its early days, has been championed by Al Green’s impassioned call for accountability. Will it reach the critical mass needed to cause a process leading to a rare third impeachment? One can only wonder. And with Trump’s extreme policies still provoking outrage, a final fight is hardly off the table.
