‘US Will Take Over...’: Trump's Big Remark On Gaza Strip After Talks With Netanyahu

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that the United States will take over the Gaza Strip and oversee its redevelopment following the resettlement of Palestinians elsewhere. This statement follows Trump’s earlier suggestion that displaced Palestinians in Gaza should be permanently resettled outside the war-torn region.

"The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site and getting rid of the destroyed buildings. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area,” Trump said during the joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump added that the US would level destroyed buildings and “create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.” 

"I'm hopeful that this ceasefire could be the beginning of a larger and more enduring peace that will end the bloodshed and killing once and for all. With the same goal in mind, my administration has been moving quickly to restore trust in the alliance and rebuild American strength throughout the region," he added at the press conference.

The US President also announced America's departure from the "anti-semitic" UN Human Rights Council and the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

"I'm also pleased to announce that this afternoon the United States withdrew from the anti-semitic UN Human Rights Council and ended all of the support for the UN Relief and Works Agency, which funnelled money to Hamas and which was very disloyal to humanity. Today I also took action to restore our maximum pressure policy on the Iranian regime. And we will once again enforce the most aggressive possible sanctions, drive Iranian oil exports to zero, and diminish the regime's capacity to fund terror throughout the region and the world," Trump further said.
