President Trump says the US will take over the Gaza Strip WASHINGTON — President Trump proposed a US takeover of the Gaza Strip Tuesday — shortly after proposing removing “all” Palestinians living there.

“The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“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 — level it out and create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”

Trump said that the roughly 2 million Gaza Strip residents would be relocated to neighboring countries.

“Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for 100 years,” he said at the press conference.

Trump said he would deploy US troops to the territory “if it’s necessary.”

There are a lot of Palis who live in Israel and do just fine, and have no grievances against the Jewish people there, the media just doesn’t want to point them out.

Send them to New Guinea. Larger than Texas but far smaller population. Plus, if they get out of hand the cannibals will have food.

But we didn’t keep Germany.

After Germany started two world wars, the Allied nations fighting it decided it needed to shrink, and that stopped its revanchism and permitted it to prosper economically. Gaza attacked Israeli civilians and did unspeakable things to them. They lost the moral argument for a Palestinian state in Gaza. It's neighbors have a right to live in peace from it, just as Poland and Russia had a right to be free of German aggression. Start a nasty war and be prepared to lose territory. Harsh consequences for starting a war result in years of peace for all.

Gaza was never a viable state. 1.8 million people crammed into an area 41 kilometres (25 miles) long, from 6 to 12 km (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide, and has a total area of 365 km2 (141 sq mi). It is about the size of Philadelphia or Detroit.

They couldn’t move freely outside the area having to come and go thru checkpoints. It is more like a prison or reservation.

Forcing people to live there during years of reconstruction is inhumane. Regardless of what happens to Gaza, the population needs to be resettled.

Israel should take over Gaza and the West Bank, and tell the Moslems to kiss their ass!

Saudi Arabia is a big, big country with lots of empty space. The Palestinian Muslims can all be relocated close to Mecca and Medina enjoy living under Sharia law.

The Saudis didn't build their giant border wall to keep out Jews.

Yes, that is the real answer.

“ But we didn’t keep Germany.”

This seems very important to you.

And you’re wrong. We “kept” Germany and Japan for a long.

Still to some degree til this day.

**But we didn’t keep Germany.**

We wouldn’t keep Gaza either.

My impression is Ann Archy is being willfully obtuse because he loves the Palis.

For god’s sakes, we need that armpit like a hole in the head.
The Palestinians are incapable of developing it into the Rivera of the Med. That’s what it was ready to be when the Israeli’s gave it back in 2005.
A fully functional ready to operate city, infrasructure, giant greenhouses making food, beachfront, the whole thing.

That low IQ unibrow culture wants war and nothing but war.

The cool thing is that we can not accept immigrants from there and sell the Israelis bombs and our hands are washed.

I should have guessed this was coming when he talked about how great the real estate was as ocean front property. Last time he did that was about North Korea.

Yeah, but he needs his 99% of his focus here in America. We need the border fully closed and the illegals deported in numbers FAR bigger than so far. DOGE needs a lot of his juice to get through USAID, Treasury, the FBI, etc. The New AG needs him backing her going through the DOJ. RFK Jr is still not confirmed yet and neither is Kash Patel and the FBI is on open insubordination.
The military needs deep reform and hard work. Same for the air traffic system.
North Carolina, Florida, California and Maui all need a huge and effective effort that he could do great things.
We are 37 trillion in debt and are in deep trouble financially.

For Gaza and Israel, he could say he doesn’t care WHAT the Israelis do to the place and we will sell them anything they can buy to do so.
Done... walk away.

Tell Ukraine we are giving them nothing and tell Russia they aren’t coming into Ukraine and we wont be peacekeepers.
And just like that, we are out of it.

Time to focus on America first.

1) Bibi has to defeat all of Hamas. Root them out, kill them all so tere are none left.

2) Then the USA ges in and cleans it up . INvestors rebuild Gaza.......the Arabs.......Big MOney.........The WEF ....BIg money......Soros and his gang....Big money.......on and on.

Big Money is going to directly purify , sanitize and aggrandize Gaza.Pretty much what USA did for post WWII Europe.

Ambitious but it depends on Israel finishing the job against Hamas.
