President Donald Trump mentioned Tuesday he isn’t ruling out deploying U.S. troops to assist reconstruction of Gaza and he envisions “long-term” U.S. possession of a redevelopment of the territory.
“We’ll do what is necessary,” Trump mentioned about the potential for deploying troops to fill any safety vacuum. “If it’s necessary, we’ll do that.”
The feedback got here after Trump mentioned he desires the USA to take possession of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump mentioned a begin of a joint information convention with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump added that the USA would stage destroyed buildings and “create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”
The feedback got here after Trump earlier steered that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be “permanently” resettled exterior the war-torn territory.
