Trump is considering giving parts of Gaza to other countries in the Middle East.

 President Donald Trump has expressed the possibility of giving some parts of Gaza to other countries in the Middle East.

 

In a discussion with reporters on Air Force One on Sunday night, February 9, Trump stated that the war-ravaged Gaza enclave should be viewed as a'significant real estate site'.


According to the US president, other countries in the Middle East have the responsibility of managing its redevelopment.

“As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it [Gaza] to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it; other people may do it, through our auspices,” Trump said while en route to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl.

 

“If we could give them a home in a safer area – the only reason they are talking about returning to Gaza is they don’t have an alternative. When they have an alternative, they don’t want to return to Gaza,” he added.

Just last week, Trump announced after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States would “take over” the Gaza Strip and transform it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

 


According to Trump's plan, the Palestinian inhabitants of the region will be removed from Gaza and moved to other Arab states.
