Trump: US will not buy Gaza, but ‘take it’
In a recent statement, President Donald Trump addressed the controversial issue regarding the United states’ approach to Gaza. He clarified that the U.S. would not be purchasing Gaza but emphasized the intention to “take” and “cherish” the war-torn area. Trump’s remarks came during a press conference at the White House, where he asserted, “There is nothing to buy,” reiterating that U.S. authority would guide their actions regarding Gaza. This comment precedes a notable meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, where Trump expressed a call for neighboring Arab countries to accept more Palestinian refugees, suggesting that residents of Gaza could be permanently relocated. King Abdullah, however, chose not to directly comment on Trump’s proposal, focusing instead on his commitment to provide medical assistance to sick Palestinians.The situation remains dynamic, and further updates are anticipated.
Trump: US will not buy Gaza, but ‘take it’
President Donald Trump dismissed claims he would buy Gaza after announcing last week that the United States should “own” the Palestinian enclave.
“There is nothing to buy,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “It’s Gaza. It’s a war-torn area. We’re going to take it, we’re going to hold it, we’re going to cherish it, we’re going to get it going eventually.”
When asked on what authority, Trump replied: “U.S. authority.”
Trump made the comments in the Oval Office before his high-stakes meeting with King Abdullah II bin al Hussein of Jordan. Trump has implored Arab countries, including Egypt and Jordan, to accept more Palestinian refugees as he repeats that Gaza residents should be permanently relocated.
Abdullah declined to directly answer questions about Trump’s plans for Gaza, preferring to wait for Egypt and other Arab leaders to weigh in on the proposal. Instead, the king committed to taking 2,000 sick Palestinians for treatment within his country.
