Senate Republicans are panning President Trump’s proposal for the United States to take over war-torn Gaza and push nearly 2 million Palestinians in the region to resettle elsewhere, with several GOP lawmakers dismissing the plan as unrealistic.
Even so, some GOP lawmakers are praising Trump for coming up with “fresh ideas” to address a bloody conflict spanning decades that has defied years of American effort to broker peace.
Republican senators say Trump’s proposal to turn Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East” is gaining little traction on Capitol Hill and predict it won’t go anywhere, just like his plans to acquire Greenland and seize control of the Panama Canal.
“I think it’s a really dumb idea to talk about having U.S. troops in Gaza. It’s the last place on earth I’d send U.S. troops and I won’t support it,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

I didn’t know Trump had “plans”.
He trolled it sure, “plans”?
Little minds can only think Little thoughts.
Alexander Bolton again.
Trump is trying to tell Gaza you can either live in a bombed out dump or we can rebuild it to a Med resort area.
Trump simply wants the Leftists chasing squirrels. He has enough people around him to point out that the plan is a joke, even if he didn’t know it at the time. But what really gave it was watching Bibi trying to keep a straight face while Trump was announcing it.
Trolling, trolling, trolling
Well, of course Rand and Murkowski would be opposed. Not a surprise.
I agree with Rand and I would add: "... It’s the last place on earth I’d send any American, military or otherwise."
And Voila....a couple VIP Hamas leaders came out of their hole....Trump smiled.
Targets!!
Or better yet drop off 10 million illegals there and call it a day, it’s a long swim to our borders.
Trump is a genius. He pulled a move out of the Godfather. When Fredo’s wife was acting up, Michael told one of his guys to tell Fredo.....to deal with her...or the guy will.
Trump is telling the Arab world.....deal with it..or I will.
I agree. Gaza was an unnecessary distraction from the real prize - draining the swamp here, not in the Mideast. Unnecessarily pissing off your supporters isn’t the smartest move.
Yes so much winning lately no need for this
Trump does not want Gaza. He is using a tactic from his Art of the Deal.
He knew he would get this response.
Be patient and bear with him folks.
Netanyahu came here. Learn to be patient. There are many things going on and Trump knows what he is doing.
He does not want Gaza.
No on paying attention over the last 9 years to how he operates thought this was something Trump thought he would actually ever do. Anyone thinking that needs to go read this posthaste.
Trump’s Gaza plan isn’t meant to work, but that’s the point

I oppose it, too. Amother can of worms.
I’d rather not spend a penny rebuilding Gaza regardless of plan. Let those rich Middle East countries pay the bill.
No one
If Trump knows what he is doing, he will let the GAZA talk die starting now.
