“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” he said in part. “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, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”
Trump also insisted “the only reason Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative.” He described the Gaza Strip as a “demolition site” and added, “Virtually every building is down. They’re living under fallen concrete that’s very dangerous and very precarious.”
Instead, Gazans can “instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety, and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again.”
