TRUMP: US TO TAKE CONTROL OF GAZA STRIP
— FinancialJuice (@financialjuice) February 5, 2025
Quote:
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the US "will take over" the Gaza Strip, after saying earlier that he doesn't think there is a permanent future for Palestinians in Gaza.
"The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too," Trump said during a joint press conference alongside his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu. "We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings."
Speaking earlier Tuesday, Trump suggested Gazans move to a new location provided by one or more nations in the Middle East.
"I mean they're there because they have no alternative. What do they have? It is a big pile of rubble right now," Trump said moments before hosting Netanyahu for Oval Office talks.
Trump's suggestion that Gazans leave the strip permanently amounts to a provocative stance that will endear him to Israel's most conservative politicians but is generally a non-starter for Israel's neighbors, who have said they are unwilling to accept new Palestinian refugees from the enclave.
On Tuesday, Trump framed the matter as a humanitarian one, saying it was impossible to believe anyone would want to remain in the war-torn territory.
"Why would they want to return? The place has been hell," Trump said, ignoring a reporter who cried out: "Because it's their home."
Instead of Gaza, he suggested the Palestinians be provided a "good, fresh, beautiful piece of land" to live.
But under repeated questioning, Trump made clear he did not see a world in which Palestinians ever return to Gaza.
"I don't think people should be going back to Gaza. I think Gaza has been very unlucky for them." He said, "Gaza is not a place for people to be living."
Netanyahu, sitting alongside Trump in the Oval Office, smiled as Trump was speaking. The Israeli leader, under conflicting pressures domestically, was in Washington to ascertain exactly where Trump stands on the next phase of a ceasefire in Gaza.
But Trump's dim views of Gaza as a permanent home for Palestinians was certain to provide grist for far-right allies of the Israeli leader, who have called on Netanyahu to abandon the temporary truce that was struck last month.
Netanyahu's visit was expected to last several hours and include a joint press conference, all meant to demonstrate Trump's solidarity with Israel.

Terrible idea.
We're not contractors. Here to clean up the bombs, build master planned communities, and put it all back together? What about the hostages? We had an agreement to get them out. I don't see that going to plan now.riverrataggie said:Burnsey said:

Why? The current ideas for the past say, 2k years have been good?
Me neither. But Trump doesn't always play all his cards. It's a bold strategy with some merit but they are a long way from getting agreements in the region to temporarily re-settle 30-40,000+ refugees.SwigAg11 said:
Trump did say he had a plan for Gaza. I wasn't expecting this though!
