On the evening of Feb. 4, U.S. President Donald Trump shocked the world—including many lawmakers in his own party—by announcing that the United States will “take over” the Gaza Strip. “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,” he said.
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood beside him, Trump went on to promise that Gaza would become “the Riviera of the Middle East” and implied that Egypt and Jordan would eventually agree to take in displaced Palestinians. Netanyahu, visibly pleased, thanked Trump for his “willingness to think outside the box with fresh ideas.”
