  1. Trump clarifies his Gaza plan: The Gaza Strip will be turned over to the US by Israel at the conclusion of the fighting. No soldiers by the US would be needed. And the Palestinians, “people like Chuck Schumer,” can go live somewhere else. US would make deals with other countries/organizations to rebuild the strip.

  2. Any plan for the US to take over control of Gaza and run the area will inevitably cost a lot of money for the US. Trump is mistaken if he thinks other Arab countries will agree to fund the entire operation of the US controling and redeveloping Gaza, whilst possibly expelling the population.

    This whole plan seems to go against Trump’s “America first” policy, I’m not sure what he’s thinking.

  3. So how does the US plan on providing security in Gaza after Israel ethnically cleanses it?

    Rent-a-Cops?

  4. No U.S. troops needed + full withdrawal of Israeli forces = ?

  6. This is insane. Since when does Israel have ownership of the land to hand it over?

  7. Israel can even give USA $10bn to take it and control it. This will cost USA a trillion in the next 30 years. You will need an enormous army to put down Hamas. And that’s before you even build hospitals and factories. In an area where the average wage is $13 a day so no one in Gaza will pay for a single thing. It will be paid by the American tax dollar. It’s way worse and more dangerous than Afghanistan. Iran is right nearby handing weapons to Hamas daily. And you can’t control cities as Hamas is everywhere.

  9. This plan is so ridiculous. Only Israel and Trump approve of this.

  10. This is so out of touch with reality, it’s not even funny at this point. Trump should be in a nursing home, not the WH.

  11. “At the conclusion of the genocide…ahem…fighting”…

  12. Hand it over to who if not a US occupation force composed of American troops? This whole plan is a nonstarter.

  13. Trumps announcement is meant only to put pressure on KSA.

    Gazan will not leave, and US will not take over.

    KSA will provide a counteroffer including recognition of Israel, something they have refrained from doing until now claiming Palestinian issue must be resolved *first*.

  14. So this gives Israel a greenlight to continue the war. This also means that when Israel feels like it is done then the US has to take responsibility for the land and cleaning it up. Art of the deal guys.
