During a meeting with Jordanian King Abdullah II at the White House, President Donald Trump made remarks indicating his belief that the United States could potentially claim authority over Gaza. Trump stated that the US intends to take control of Gaza, ensure peace, and manage the territory effectively.
Trump expressed a vision of developing Gaza into a prosperous area with resorts and office buildings, aiming to create job opportunities for the people in the Middle East. When questioned about the basis for the US to assert control over Gaza, Trump simply reiterated that it would be done under US authority.
Despite suggestions from reporters about purchasing the land, Trump dismissed the idea, emphasizing that the US would not need to buy Gaza as it is a war-torn region that the US intends to hold and revitalize without the need for a financial transaction.
The president's comments have sparked discussions and debates regarding the legality and feasibility of such a move, with many questioning the implications of the US claiming authority over a sovereign territory like Gaza.
It remains to be seen how this statement from President Trump will impact diplomatic relations and the ongoing situation in the Middle East, particularly concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the status of Gaza as a disputed territory.
