Trump: ‘The U.S. Will Take Over the Gaza Strip’
The press conferences with President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were something else.
They held an informal one in the Oval Office before the formal one in the East Room this evening.
Gaza Strip
I guess America is taking the Gaza Strip:
TRUMP: The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.
I guess others are okay with it:
TRUMP: I do see a long term ownership position, and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle east and maybe the entire Middle East. Everybody I’ve spoken to, this was not a decision made lightly, everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent, in a really magnificent area that nobody would know.Nobody can look because all they see is death and destruction and rubble and demolished buildings falling all over. It’s just a terrible, terrible sight. I’ve studied it. I’ve studied this very closely over, a lot of months, and I’ve seen it from every different angle, and it’s a very, very dangerous place to be, and it’s only going to get worse.And I think this is an idea that’s gotten tremendous, I’m talking about from the highest level of leadership, gotten tremendous praise and if the United States can help to bring stability.
Troops
Reporter: Will you need to send troops to Gaza to take it over and develop it?
Trump: “If it’s necessary, we’ll do that.”
Netanyahu Praises Trump
Netanyahu to Trump: “You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House!”
Prime Minister Netanyahu to President Trump: “Your willingness to puncture conventional thinking, thinking that has failed time and time again, your willingness to think outside the box with fresh ideas will help us achieve all these goals.”
FOX’S DOOCY: “We have heard Biden and Trump take credit for the hostage and cease-fire deals. Who do you think deserves more credit?”
NETANYAHU: “President Trump”
Live in Peace
