U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants his country to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are displaced elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said at the start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I do see a long-term ownership position,” Trump said when asked about the U.S. controlling the territory for an extended period, adding that he is not ruling out sending U.S. troops in to secure Gaza.

Trump’s comments came hours after he suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be “permanently” resettled outside the war-torn territory.
“You can’t live in Gaza right now. I think we need another location,” Trump said earlier Tuesday.
“I think it should be a location that’s going to make people happy. You look over the decades, it’s all death in Gaza. This has been happening for years. It’s all death. If we can get a beautiful area to resettle people, permanently, in nice homes where they can be happy and not be shot and not be killed and not be knifed to death like what’s happening in Gaza.”
Trump has previously called on Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries to take in Palestinians temporarily while Gaza is reconstructed after the devastating war between Hamas and Israel, which was paused in January by a ceasefire. Tuesday was the first time he has publicly floated making that resettlement permanent.
Has he just not been paying attention to things over the last year and a half or is he just stupid? Biden already did everything except put troops on the ground and drop nukes trying to ethnically cleanse Gaza. It didn’t work. There are no more moves to make.
Do you not understand what he means by ‘we will own it?’
He means a fucking US military occupation of Gaza.
Go watch the full videos of the presser he did with Bibi.
He ‘isn’t ruling out a long-term’ occupation, he ‘isn’t ruling out sending US troops’, we will be in charge of ‘dismantling weapons’, we will ‘take over the Gaza Strip’, it ‘will be long term ownership position’, ‘we will develop it.’
He means a US Military occupation of Gaza, overseeing turning it into a fucking territory, turning it into beach resort with Trump towers, while all the Gazans are…??? forced into Egypt and Jordan? Starved and bombed by US boots on the ground and an aircraft carrier group or two?
The only for sure thing is all the Gazans have to leave.
He is saying he plans to do an actual, 1800’s style manifest destiny, military backed colonization.
US soldiers would absolutely get wrecked by local resistance and ansar allah
Tfw even Israel gets fucked over by this
I get what he is saying but that doesn’t mean its gonna happen. There is no way this is anything more than trump ranting out his ass. Do you not remember that 90% of what he says is just hot air? If you keep listening to everything trump says and worrying that he will really do it you are going to be really miserable for the next 4 years (provided he doesn’t do away with term limits) What trump says and what he ends up doing are 2 different things. The man talked about injecting bleach to cure covid ffs.
If the fascists society of isisrael couldn’t do it what makes you think america could when everything has to be shipped half way round the world? Do you think an america abrams tank is going to fare any better than a merkava which was designed specifically for the conditions? Do you think america can ship as many tanks as isisrael had a year and a half ago? Do you think american soldiers are any better trained than the idf? They will eat shit every bit as hard as the zionist entity did.
american soldiers aren’t raised to dehumanize and hate Gazans. They will have way bigger issues starving and murdering women and children than the idf. Most of them aren’t chomping at the bit for genocide and if they are they want to do it closer to home. The reason for the war wasn’t enough to keep the israelis fighting why would american troops be willing to fight and die for a pile of rublle the zionists weren’t willing to fight for?
You have to pass everything trump says through the filter of “is this really a thing he could do” 90% of the time the answer is “no”
Honestly I think it would be leagues more unpopular in America if Hamas videos come out of troops eating sniper rounds than in Israel when IDF troops were eating them. This war would be shockingly unpopular and I’m certain he knows it and won’t chance it.
