Trump floated the idea for the U.S. to "take over" the Gaza Strip during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, calling for Gaza's entire population to be relocated to other countries and for the land to be redeveloped.
"We'll own it ... We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal ... the Riviera of the Middle East," he said. "We should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts, and there are many of them that want to do this, and build various domains that will ultimately be occupied by the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza, ending the death and destruction and, frankly, bad luck."
In an interview Wednesday on Fox News, Netanyahu called President Trump's proposal for a U.S. takeover of Gaza a "remarkable idea" that should be "pursued."
"I think it will create a different future for everyone," Netanyahu said.
