US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he wanted his country to take ownership of Gaza’s belt and remodeled it after the Palestinians were displaced elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons in place,” Trump said at the beginning of a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I see a long-term ownership place,” Trump said when asked about the US that controls the territory for a long time, adding that he does not exclude the sending of American troops to ensure gauze.
He added that he would now straighten the destroyed buildings and “create economic development that will provide an unlimited number of jobs and accommodation for the people of the area.”
Netanyahu, whose army became involved in more than a year of fierce fighting with Hamas militants in Gaza, said Trump “thought out of the box with fresh ideas” and “showed a willingness to break into a conventional thinking.”
Trump suggested that this would promote stability in the region, adding: “This is not a decision made easily.”
“Everyone I spoke to love the idea of having the United States have that piece of land.”
However, Saudi Arabia, a key American ally in the region, emphasized in a statement of his rejection of any attempt to expel Palestine from their country and said that he would not establish relations with Israel without establishing the Palestinian state.
Trump’s comments followed a few hours after suggested that the displaced Palestinians in Gaza “permanently” be moved outside the war -destroyed territory.
Israel removed its blockade northern gauze, allowing thousands of Palestinians to return to their communities – even if their homes were destroyed. In the meantime, families in Israel are waiting for words of whether and when hostages will be released.
“You can’t live in Gaza right now. I think we need another location,” Trump said earlier on Tuesday.
“I think it should be a location that will make people happy. You watch for decades, it’s all death in Gaza. This has been going on for years. It’s all death. If we can get a beautiful area to relocate people, permanently, in beautiful homes in which in which They can be happy and not to be shot, not to kill yourself and not be a knife to death like what is happening in Gaza. “
Trump earlier called Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries to temporarily take over Palestinians, while Gaza was reconstructed after the devastating war between Hamas and Israel, who paused in January in January. Tuesday was the first time he had been floating publicly, making that relocation permanent.
The proposal of US President Donald Trump that it could be best to ‘clean’ Gaza was caused by the anger of many Palestinians who want to return home despite the destruction of the Israel-Hamas War.
His proposals echo the wishes of the far right of Israel and confront the dedication of former President Joe Biden against the massive displacement of Palestinians.
The Arab states and the Palestinian administration rejected the idea that some advocates of human rights compared to ethnic cleansing.
Forced to move the Gaza population would probably be a violation of international law and would be fiercely opposed not only in the region, but also from Western allies Washington.
The Palestinians claim Gaza as part of the future homeland, and many have pointed to the desire to remain and renew.
Higher Hamas official Abu Zuhri condemned Trump’s calls to Gazana to leave as “expulsion from his country.”
The war was encouraged after the Hamas on October 7, 2023, killed about 1,200 people and took about 250 other trapped, according to Israeli Tallies. Dozens of hostages remain in Gaza.
A new report published in Lancet Journal suggests that the number of people killed in Gaza in the first nine months of the war is Israel-Hamas could be 40 percent higher than reported by Hamas officers.
Israel responded with an offensive that killed more than 46,000 Palestinians, according to local health officers and displaced the vast majority of Gaza’s population.
Israel has faced accusations of Genocide in Gaza for the extent of death and destruction, which he rejects by saying that he adheres to international law and has the right to defend himself after the Hamas attack.
Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, a former Israeli Defense Minister, issued an International Court of Criminal Court orders for arresting for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes.
