In a surprising announcement, President Donald Trump said the US “will take over” the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, “own it” and undertake economic development there that will create “unlimited numbers of jobs and housing”. Trump made these remarks on Tuesday during a joint press conference in the White House with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing beside him. Trump also suggested that the US develop the land but gave no details on who would be allowed to live there. He also said that all Palestinians currently living in Gaza – around 2 million people – should leave and be placed in other countries in the Middle East.
