'Trump may very well have gotten the U.S. into another war': MSNBC reporter in Tel Aviv

Reporting from Tel Aviv, an obviously distressed Yasmin Vossoughian of MSNBC stated the feeling on the ground from where she was standing was that Donald Trump's comments about the U.S. taking control of Gaza could lead to a new war.

At a Tuesday press conference Tuesday the president blurted out, "The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too," before later adding, "We'll own it."

Speaking with the co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Vossoughian began by stating, "I think it is important to be frank about the situation here in the Middle East. It feels as if Donald Trump has literally dropped a nuclear bomb."

"Donald Trump campaigned on getting the United States out of foreign wars," she added. "It feels as if, after yesterday evening standing aside Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu that Donald Trump may very well have gotten the United States into another war."

"This is the type of rhetoric that will unite, that can feasibly unite, the Middle East," she added. "We have heard from MBS [Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud] of Saudi Arabia denouncing what Donald Trump has said. We have heard, obviously, from Islamic militants, from the Palestinian Authority to Islamic Jihad to Hamas, who have all understandably denounced what Donald Trump has said."
