The article addresses President Trump's controversial proposal to take over and redevelop Gaza, suggesting resettling Palestinians temporarily in neighboring countries. Following backlash from global leaders, Trump's aides emphasized that the displacement would be short-term, aimed at facilitating rebuilding efforts in what they describe as a 'demolition site'. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other officials clarified that the intention is not permanent resettlement, but rather a necessary separation to allow for reconstruction. The U.S. government, however, will not fund these rebuilding efforts, relying on allies like Egypt and Jordan to host the displaced Palestinians temporarily.
The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it, Trump said at the White House after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It’s a demolition site right now. It’s not a livable place for any human being, she said, emphasizing the need for reconstruction before Palestinians could return.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that the interim resettlement of Palestinians is not permanent but is aimed at facilitating rebuilding efforts in Gaza.
Leavitt later hailed Trump's Gaza proposal as historic and outside of the box but stressed that Washington would not fund Gaza's reconstruction after more than 15 months of Israeli war.
