Trump says Israel will hand over Gaza to US after fighting ends
BBC ^ | Feb 7 | BBC

Posted on 02/07/2025 4:05:45 AM PST by RandFan

US President Donald Trump has restated a vision in which the US would take over Gaza, after officials in his administration appeared to contradict his earlier comments.

"The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting," Trump said on Thursday. He reiterated that the idea would mean resettling Palestinians, and that no US soldiers would be needed.

Trump's resettlement idea has prompted accusations that he is planning ethnic cleansing, and has drawn condemnation from the UN, human rights groups and Arab leaders. Analysts doubt it will ever happen.

After Trump's first comments on the issue, his officials suggested any relocation would be only temporary.

Under his plan, Trump wrote on Truth Social, Gazans "would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region". The US would then be part of an effort to redevelop the enclave, he said.

His post did not make clear whether the two million residents of the Palestinian territory would be invited to return.

Under international law, attempts to forcibly transfer populations from occupied territory are strictly prohibited.

Let’s hope he doesn’t really mean it.

It is a FAILURE before it even starts. Somebody give Mr. Trump the smelling salts. Bad, bad, idea. Who brought the weed into the White House?

This all Kushner’s idea. They want the contracts etc. in rebuilding.

Another scam and a bone thrown to the deep state?

A third temple for peaceful Palestinians in Gaza? Sounds like the makings of a good deal to me.

There is something behind it. I dont know what the plan is. We will see

But he’s obviously discussed it with Netanyahu

Maybe Congress can stop it? Interesting... !

yeah it’s a horrible idea. These Gazans are literally a disease. They need to stay in the middle east, aka “crazy town.” No need to inflict them on any other country. I remember when Trump held up the sign that said, “15 days to slow the spread. “ Don’t touch Gaza. Just smile and wave

President Trump seems to be getting poor advice from Simone regarding resettlement.

There’s been of sending them to Ireland and Spain temporarily. Did anyone ask Ireland or Spain what they think? Seems like Ireland is already having “migrant” problems.

So sick of this routine where Western nation blows up middle east nation and then muslims get spread into western nations.

Shove them all to whichever side of Palestine is in better shape. Fix the other side(Israel pays), let them into the fixed side and then fix the other side.

I think the crusades should have gone on another 1-200 years until all knowledge of Islam was lost forever.

The more time people on the Left spend blasting Trump over Gaza, the less time they have to blast his remaining nominees or complain about DOGE.

In other words, 5D Chess - flooding the zone.

We haven’t heard much about the West bank? what’ss happening there ? That part is under control of the PLO not Hamas and seems more civilized? I don’t know. I’m not a ME expert. I prefer to stay out of it for good reason (none of us can pretend to understand it fully)

From Kushner his son in law who has his eyes on contracts. No US Troops, “we’ll be welcomed”, it’s a cakewalk

Where have you heard that before...

It’s a classic trap. He’ll regret getting involved.

Also it’s unpopular .Maybe Congress can do something by refusing to fund it

Does Kushner have any involvement in the current admin?

I understood he was completely out.

That’s the best spin that can be put on it: Trump is talking about Gaza solely as a distraction technique. And that well might be true.

But as can be seen by the comments here, he’s distracting (and upsetting) conservatives as much as liberals. Not a good thing.

I don’t know much about it but I got sick of hearing about it years ago. I just look at what’s happened to the UK and Sweden and it makes me sick what the west has done to themselves. I guess they figured the way to beat Islam was to spread and dilute them into western nations but Muslims are going to take over the UK before too long.
