Trump unveiled his surprise plan, without providing specifics, at a joint press conference with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The announcement followed Trump's shock proposal earlier on Tuesday for the permanent resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, calling the enclave - where the first phase of a fragile Israel-Hamas ceasefire is in effect - a "demolition site."
"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too," Trump told reporters. "We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site."

“Do a real job, do something different. Can’t go back, if you go back it’ll end up the same way it’s been for a hundred years.”
Sphincters are clenching across the world — “That horrid, vulgar OrangeManBad is going to see and reveal ALL the secrets. Anyone connected to Hamas will never be able to go back. And there’s absolutely nothing we can do to prevent it!!!”
I thought getting Mexico, et al to take back their illegals was huge. That shutting off the NGO spigot was huge. This is more than I ever imagined to dream of.

Hamas spokesman: Trump’s ‘racist’ Gaza plan aims to ‘eliminate Palestinian cause’
[IsraelTimes] In fresh comments, Palestinian terror group Hamas rejects US President Donald Trump’s plan to “take control” of the Gaza Strip, calling it “racist” and aimed at eliminating the Palestinian cause.
“The American racist stance aligns with the Israeli extreme right’s position in displacing our people and eliminating our cause,” Hamas spokesman Abdel Latif al-Qanou says in a statement.
Earlier, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said Trump’s remarks were “ridiculous” and “capable of igniting the region,”
