U.S. President Donald Trump declared that the United States will take over the Gaza Strip, dismantle unexploded ordnance, and lead economic redevelopment in the area.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will take control of the Gaza Strip, pledging to clear the area of unexploded bombs and reconstruct it with economic development.
Speaking at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump stated, “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on this site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings.”
Trump added that the plan includes creating economic opportunities, promising “unlimited numbers of jobs and housing” for people in the area.
His remarks come amid discussions on the fragile ceasefire, countering Iran, and a possible Israeli-Saudi normalization deal. The statement marks a significant shift in U.S. policy, though no official plan has been detailed.
