Trump Proposes U.S. Should 'Own' Gaza And Pave The Way For 'Riviera Of The Middle East, Suggests 2 Million Residents Move To Other Countries

President Donald Trump on Tuesday proposed that the United States should "take over the Gaza Strip" and "own it," proposing relocating Gaza’s 2 million residents to other Middle Eastern countries. The U.S. president proposed U.S. development of Gaza, envisioning it as “the Riviera of the Middle East” open for global settlement. Netanyahu called the idea of a U.S. takeover of Gaza “something that could change history” and said it was worth pursuing. The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned Trump's remarks, calling them unacceptable.
