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.
