President Donald Trump’s proposal that the United States “take over” the Gaza Strip and permanently resettle its Palestinian residents has been swiftly rejected and denounced by American allies and adversaries alike.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States “will take over” the Gaza Strip — possibly with the help of American troops — while the Palestinians who live there should leave, a stunning proposal that would dramatically reorient the Middle East and subject a population of more than a million to further displacement.

President Donald Trump said the United States "will take over the Gaza Strip," and "we'll own it." Trump said that all Palestinians currently living in Gaza, around 2 million people, should leave the territory and be placed in other countries in the Middle East.
