United States President Donald Trump has proposed that the United States assume control of or “take over” the Gaza Strip. The U.S. ruler described the area as a “demolition site” that requires redevelopment.
“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump told reporters. The goal of taking over the Gaza Strip is in line with other comments Trump has made, such as expanding the empire to take Greenland and Panama by force.
Trump Will Not “Rule Out” Military Action To Take Greenland By Force
Trump did not rule out deploying U.S. troops to Gaza either. The war-mongering is ratcheting up to a whole new level. “If it’s necessary, we’ll do that,” Trump said of using the military to take control of the Gaza Strip. “I do see a long-term ownership position, and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East,” he said. He described his vision as transforming Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
According to a report by RT, a key aspect of the proposal involves relocating Gaza’s approximately two million Palestinian residents to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan. Trump claimed that regional leaders supported the idea, though he did not provide details on how the relocation would be implemented.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has expressed strong support for Trump’s proposal to take over Gaza using military force. “Gaza MUST BE FREE from Hamas. As @POTUS shared today, the United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again,” Rubio said on X. “Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people.”
Rubio has consistently advocated for war against Hamas. In October 2023, he emphasized that Israel “has no choice but to seek the complete eradication of Hamas in Gaza,” acknowledging that the cost of doing so would be significant. He claimed that failing to eliminate the group would have even more severe consequences.
Israel Doubles Down On It’s Goal To Eliminate Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s proposal, calling it “thinking outside the box with fresh ideas” and expressing optimism about its potential to change history. If thinking outside the box means adding more war to the already war-torn planet, then Netanyahu is correct.
Israel has consistently doubled down on its vow to eliminate the terrorist organization Hamas.
Hamas responded to Trump’s comments, saying that that wasn’t an option and Palestinians would resist efforts of the United States to control the occupied territory.
