Donald Trump in a press conference along with Israel PM Netanyahu unveiled a plan for the US to take long-term ownership of the Gaza Strip. In his remarks, the US president called for Palestinians to be ‘permanently relocated out of Gaza’ while he transformed it into the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’.

President Donald Trump’s proposal that the United States “take over” the Gaza Strip and permanently resettle its Palestinian residents was swiftly rejected and denounced on Wednesday by American allies and adversaries alike.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Tuesday with President Donald Trump at the White House amid phase two of a fragile cease-fire pact, as Trump called for the United States to take control of the Gaza strip.
