President Donald Trump proposed on Tuesday that the United States assume ownership of the Gaza Strip and oversee its redevelopment following the resettlement of Palestinians to other locations. Trump emphasized the need to address the presence of dangerous unexploded ordnance and weapons in the area, stating that the U.S. would be responsible for dismantling them. He also outlined plans to level destroyed buildings and establish economic development initiatives to generate jobs and housing for the local population.
During a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump reiterated his stance that displaced Palestinians in Gaza should be permanently relocated outside the conflict-ridden territory. He expressed skepticism about the feasibility of individuals returning to Gaza given the current conditions, advocating for alternative resettlement options that prioritize safety and well-being.
