President Donald Trump's comments discussing plans for the U.S. to take "ownership" of the Gaza strip and redevelop it into "the Riviera of the Middle East" have been rejected by some members of his own party, including high-profile allies of his.
"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too," Trump said at an evening news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his side. The president, who made his name as a New York real estate developer, added: "We'll make sure that it's done world-class. It'll be wonderful for the people— Palestinians, Palestinians mostly, we're talking about."
