My God! Trump on Tuesday proposed that the U.S. take a "long-term ownership position" over Gaza,
President Donald Trump on Tuesday proposed that the United States take a “long-term ownership position” over Gaza, moving its residents to a “good, fresh, beautiful piece of land” in another country and rebuilding the war-torn territory under U.S. control, offering a vision of mass displacement likely to inflame sentiments in the Arab world as he welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House.
Gaza “has been hell,” Trump later told reporters. “You take certain areas and you build really good-quality housing, like a beautiful town, like some place where they can live and not die, because Gaza is a guarantee that they’re going to end up dying. The same thing is going to happen again.”
Trump added that he felt that Gaza’s residents would “love to leave Gaza if they had an option. Right now, they don’t have an option.”
After the meetings, Trump said that a U.S. rebuilding effort in Gaza would create “economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.” He didn’t specify which people he meant.
Netanyahu lavished the new U.S. leader with praise.
“You say things others refuse to say,” Netanyahu said. “And after the jaws drop, people scratch their heads and they say, ‘You know, he's right.’”
