Trump says we will “take over” and ‘own’ Gaza in the remodeling plan | Israel-Palestine News of Conflict
The President of the United States Donald Trump said that the US would “take over” and “his own” gauze after Palestine moved second to Palestine within the extraordinary remodeling plan, which he claimed could turn Enclave into a “Riviera Middle East”.
In a shock of an announcement that has been that has been a decade of US politics to Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Trump said on Tuesday that his administration would lead economic development in the enclave to “supply an unlimited number of jobs and accommodation for residents of the area.”
“Now he will take over Gaza’s belt and we will do the job with him as well.” We own him, “Trump said in the White House after talking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, adding that his administration will be responsible for removing the destroyed buildings and dismantling” dangerous non -Employed bombs and another weapon. “
Hamas, a Palestinian gaza management group, quickly condemned the proposal as “a recipe for chaos and tension in the region.”
“Our people in Gaza’s belt will not allow these plans to pass,” the statement said.
“What is needed is the end of the occupation and aggression towards our people, not their expulsion from their country. Our people in Gaza interfered with plans for dispute and deportation under the bombing for more than 15 months. “
In his remarks, Trump has suggested that he will now occupy “long -term ownership” over the enklav.
“This was not a decision made easily. Everyone I spoke with loved the idea that the United States had that piece of land, develop and create thousands of jobs with something that would be magnificent,” he said.
By offering several specifics about how his plan would be applied, Trump expressed the hope that the displaced Palestinians in Gaza “would go to other countries of the interests of humanitarian hearts,” although he suggested that Palestinians would continue to live there.
The US president said Gaza could become a home of a “world people”.
“I think you will turn it into an international, incredible place. I think the potential in Gaza’s belt is amazing. And I think the whole world – representatives from all over the world will be there and will live there. Palestinians will live there and Palestinians,” he said.
“Many will live there.”
Asked if US soldiers can send to Gaza to maintain safety, Trump said it was an opportunity.
“As far as gauze is concerned, we will do what is necessary. If necessary, we will do it,” he said.

Netanyahu, who praised Trump as the “greatest friend” who had ever had Israel, said the US president’s plan is worth “paying attention to” and that he could “change history”.
“He sees a different future for that piece of land that was a focus of so much terrorism, so much attacking us, so much trial and so many troubles,” Netanyahu said.
Trump’s announcement was widely condemned by Palestinian proponents.
“Basically says that officially, American policy is now the destruction of the Palestinian society, spraying Palestinians in neighboring countries, and on top of that, now that he has come and possess Palestinian territory to an end,” proponents of political analysts and human rights for human rights and human rights Omar Baddar said Al Jazeera.
“I don’t know what planet we live where these statements come out of the President of the United States.”
Abed Ayoub, Executive Director of the AMERICAN-ARABA (ADC) antidiscrimination committee, described Trump’s proposal as “scary” and “crazy”.
“That would go against all norms and international law. It’s not something that could happen,” Ayoub told Al Jazeera.
“But at this point, you have to ask yourself if you are watching last year and a half: how many international communities, including Israel, really cares for international law and standards?”
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, Palestinian-American who is a resident older associate in the Atlantic Council, said Gaza is not a “real estate development project for the Government of the United States that he owns or takes over.”
“Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people. Downloading the need to launch a political transformation to ensure that the Hamas does not remain in control is unnecessary and harmful,” Alkhatib on X.
Democratic legislators also doubted Trump’s proposal.
Rashida Torai, the only Palestinian member of the US Congress, accused Trump of “openly calling for ethnic cleansing while sitting next to the criminal of the genocide war.”
“It is perfectly well cut off by doing Americans from federal funds, while the financing of the Israeli government is still flowing,” said Toraiib, who represents the Michigan District in the House of Representatives, on X.
Chris Murphy, a Democratic Senator for Connecticut, said Trump’s proposal to try to distract from controversy at home.
“I have news for you – we don’t take over Gaza,” Murphy said on X. “But the media and a chatter class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will be able to distract everything from the real story – billionaires who take away the government to steal from regular people. “
Trump has repeatedly called Egypt and Jordan to accept the displaced Palestine, but the Arab states rejected his appeals, warning that the relocation of the residents of the enclave would risk the exacerbation of the conflict in the region and to undermine the efforts to achieve a solution with two countries.
Responding to Trump’s proposals, Saudi Arabia said that they would oppose any attempt to move Palestinians and would not establish relations with Israel without the creation of the Palestinian state.
“The proposal of Gazanians to leave Gaza would face significant legal, political and practical challenges, and he would probably encounter strong opposition to international communities and regional actors,” said Alam Saleh, an expert on the Middle East at the Australian National University, said Al Jazeera .
Trump’s extraordinary proposal casts insecurity in the next round of negotiating the expansion of fragile truck between Israel and Hamas.
The initial 42-day truce, which will see the release of 33 Israeli prisoners and nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, expires on March 1.
On Tuesday, a spokesman for the Palestinian group Hamas said that negotiations had started for the second phase of the tribute. If it agrees, that phase would see the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and the release of all prisoners.
Trump on Tuesday has doubted the strength of the agreement and the likelihood that it will last.
“The strikes could start tomorrow,” Trump said. “There’s not much to strike.”
