Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday he thinks there’s “very little appetite” among Americans for a U.S. takeover of Gaza.
“One thing I will say, there’s very little appetite that I’ve seen in the United States Senate for America to take over Gaza in any way, shape or form,” Graham said at a press conference in Israel, standing among bipartisan Senate colleagues on a delegation overseas.
“I think that would be a difficult sell in South Carolina,” Graham said.
Graham’s remarks come as President Trump has doubled down on his controversial plan for the United States to take over the war-torn Gaza and push nearly 2 million Palestinians in the region to resettle elsewhere.

Trump is just putting out “bones”....and they chomp...even Graham chomps.
Indeed.
I’d say he’s right this time.
Someone should tell Grahamnesty that the Americans are just looking for a place to live in Gaza to nobly improve their lives.
Nobody in the Middle East will allow Palestinians into their country. Israel is the only one that tolerates them. Most of the planet would prefer it if they simply didn’t exist anymore, and we would all likely be better off. Sad but true.
Right, time to reevaluate my position
Americans have very little appetite for you Miss Lindsey.
Folks don’t recognize that this is Trump’s master move to get the Arab states to step up with a solution to an uninhabitable desolation created and ruled by an irredentist islamo-terrorist death-worshipping ideology
Give the man space time and support to let the Arabs grapple with the concept of Trump turning Gaza into an international resort and come up with a better solution.
We’ll settle for Greenland.
Linda is too stupid to be a garbage collector.
Trump is trying to rebuild Gaza into a real city instead of the mess Yassar Arafat left them.
I recognize the technique. Propose an "extreme" measure that is clearly unacceptable then "compromise" on the terms that you really wanted in the first place.
But we are not to take over Gaza and expel all the Gazans.
Let the Israelis do that.
Exactly. Anyone thinking Trump really intends to put American boots on the ground in Gaza, whether military or construction, doesn’t get Trump, doesn’t get Art of the Deal.
Having the Israelis clean out Gaza…is an unacceptable solution for the long term. The arabs need to clean up their own mess.
Exactly!!
I agree. We have no business getting mired down in that hell hole.
Graham isright about this. Trump shouldn’t even be talking about such a proposal, serious or not.
Of course Trump’s plan for Gaza does not involve sending troops into an active war zone to occupy Gaza. His plan is about the post war environment. Lindsey knows this.
Lindsey is just mad that he is on the outs with President Trump. He seems quite bitter about it actually. He’s been making the rounds on legacy media attacking all of Trump’s major foreign policy initiatives, including ending the war with Russia which is very popular with most Americans. I’m just glad Trump realized what a snake this guy really is.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said “Notice me! Notice me! Me! Me! Me!”
But Linda wants to send American Troops to YouCrayne.
