‘Should not go through a process of rebuilding’: Trump confirms he doesn’t want Gaza to be restored
President Donald Trump made an abrupt announcement to seize control of the Gaza Strip. Political allies and adversaries are equally confused and disgruntled. Amid all this, the question hangs: does Trump want to rebuild the Gaza Strip for Palestinians?
Trump announced at a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States “will take over the Gaza Strip.” The president also touted rebuilding Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Trump likened Gaza to “a symbol of death and destruction.” For that reason, “it should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people.” The latter half pertains to Palestinians. He follows the same line of thinking when asked about Palestinians who will ultimately be displaced by this plan.
