Trump Proposes U.S. Takeover of Gaza and Says All Palestinians Should Leave

By our Special Correspondent

President Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. would "take over the Gaza Strip" and "own it," continuing to promote the idea that the Palestinian people should live elsewhere. 

                   Mr. Trump, whose comments came at a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said the Palestinians in Gaza "should not go through a process of rebuilding" and that they had "lived a miserable existence there." Earlier in the afternoon, during a meeting with Netanyahu in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump said the Palestinians should "resettle permanently" in "nice homes" somewhere else.
