If "take over" means they will come in, raze the rubble, dismantle the tunnels, regrade the land, rebuild the area to modern standards, and then turn the region over to the former residents, why not?

I don’t get it. Why commit to the danger and money it would when we’re reducing the size of government and retooling the military?

IMHO, it's because of the "special relationship" with Israel in the region.

Unlike when Biden tried to build a simple pier on the coast, President Trump knows how to build. I guess it's his view that peace can be obtained if the "Palestinian" people get a taste of living a normal life away from rubble and militancy.

If Hamas is defeated, if Hezbollah is defeated, if Iran is defeated, if all the "influencers" of radicalism are eliminated, maybe things will begin to change in the region?

The Gaza Strip is about 145 sq. miles in area. It's about the size of Manhattan, the Bronx and Hoboken combined. It's prime Mediterranean coastal land. The people could become wealthy if they develop area into a destination resort.

If Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords, if other countries join, too, and peace comes to the region, it will break the Russia and Iran proxies and bring stability to the region.
