“We must approach other countries with compassion and goodwill, as many are willing to assist in creating diverse settlements for the 1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza. This will end the suffering and devastation they have endured and can be supported by wealthy neighboring nations. The potential for development is vast, with opportunities for numerous sites or one large location,” said the speaker.
In a joint press conference at the White House, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed plans for the region. Trump emphasized the importance of providing comfort and peace for the people, stating that the initiative would bring stability to the Middle East.
The President expressed confidence in the long-term success of the endeavor and highlighted the potential for job creation and economic growth. He envisioned a magnificent future for the area, suggesting it could become a spectacular destination.
When questioned about who would inhabit the territory, Trump mentioned that people from around the world could benefit from the opportunities in Gaza. He emphasized the need to break the cycle of conflict and create a bright future for the region.
Netanyahu praised Trump’s innovative approach to addressing challenges in the area, emphasizing the goal of ensuring security for Israel. The leaders discussed the possibility of U.S. involvement in Gaza, with Trump expressing readiness to take necessary actions to develop the region and generate employment opportunities.
Once again, expressing your readiness to think innovatively and consider fresh ideas will greatly aid us in accomplishing these objectives,” he remarked. When questioned if his belief that Palestinians should be relocated from Gaza signifies opposition to the longstanding two-state policy upheld by the United States in foreign affairs, Trump denied it. “It doesn’t signify a stance on a two-state, one state, or any other state. It signifies our desire to provide people with an opportunity for a better life,” he declared. “The inhabitants of the Gaza Strip have been deprived of such a chance as it has been a dire place to live. It’s been truly dreadful.” The president maintained that his proposition would not only benefit Israel but the entire Middle East region. “I want to emphasize that this isn’t solely for the benefit of Israel,” he emphasized. “It’s for all the people in the Middle East – Arabs, Muslims, everyone. We need to heed the lessons of history. We can’t keep repeating the same mistakes. Gaza is currently in a dire state,” he observed. “I’ve delved deeply into this matter, examining it from various perspectives over many months. It’s an extremely perilous environment. The situation is deteriorating rapidly. This idea has garnered significant support – even at the highest echelons of leadership,” he remarked confidently. Despite facing opposition from the King of Jordan and the President of Egypt regarding his suggestion to “clean out” Gaza and have them accommodate Palestinians, he expressed optimism that they “will eventually show compassion and offer the necessary land for this initiative to succeed. People can coexist in harmony and tranquility,” he concluded as the remarkable press conference concluded.
