00:00Well, you know how I feel about the Gaza Strip.

00:02I think it's an incredible piece of important real estate.

00:07And I think it's something that we would be involved in.

00:11But, you know, having a peace force like the United States there,

00:15controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing.

00:18Because right now, all it is is for years and years,

00:22all I hear about is killing and Hamas and problems.

00:25And if you take the people, the Palestinians,

00:28and move them around to different countries,

00:30and you have plenty of countries that will do that,

00:33and you really have a freedom zone.

00:37You call it the freedom zone.

00:38A free zone, a zone where people aren't going to be killed every day.

00:41That's a hell of a place.

00:44It's a, you know what I call it, a great location

00:46that nobody wants to live in because they really don't.

00:49And when they have good living, real living,

00:53where Hamas and all of the problems they have,

00:56the level of death on the Gaza Strip is just incredible.

01:01And I've said it.

01:02I don't understand why Israel ever gave it up.

01:05Israel owned it.

01:06It wasn't this man, so I can say it.

01:08He wouldn't have given it up.

01:09I know him very well.

01:11There's no way.

01:12They took oceanfront property,

01:14and they gave it to people for peace.

01:16How did that work out?

01:17Not good.

01:18I think what the president talked about is, first of all,

01:21to give people a choice.

01:23You know, Gaza, Gazans were closed in.

01:26And every other place, including in arenas of battle,

01:30I mean, whether it's Ukraine or Syria or any other place,

01:33people could leave.

01:35Gaza was the only place where they locked them in.

01:38We didn't lock them in.

01:39They were locked in.

01:40And what is wrong with giving people a choice?

01:44Now, we've been talking, including over lunch,

01:47about some countries, I won't go into them right now,

01:50that are saying, you know,

01:52if Gazans want to leave, we want to take them in.

01:55And I think this is the right thing to do.

01:59If you give, you know,

02:00it's going to take years to rebuild Gaza.

02:01In the meantime, people can have an option.

02:04The president has a vision.

02:05Countries are responding to that vision.

02:07And we're working on it.

02:08I hope we'll have good news for you.
