US will take over the Gaza Strip, says President Trump
The US will take control of the Gaza strip, US President Donald Trump said Tuesday, during a press conference held with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The US will take over the Gaza strip, and we will do a job with it, too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings.”
The comments came in the wake of Netanyahu’s trip to the US, the first foreign leader to meet President Trump since he took office for the second time last month.
