US President Donald Trump suggests 'Gaza takeover' in shocking announcement

PTC News Desk: In a rather shocking announcement, US President Donald Trump has suggested taking over complete ownership of war-torn Palestinian territory Gaza Strip as and further Palestinians are resettled elsewhere US "will develop it," and "own it".  


Trump's remarks came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood by his side and and hailed Republican leader's idea and asserted that such idea could script history and noted that Trump envisions a different future for Gaza. The announcement is expected to send shockwaves across the globe and significantly impact the geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East.

Since October 2023, Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas have been locked in a brutal conflict in Gaza, which has only recently paused with a ceasefire. Israeli airstrikes have left nearly every building in the region destroyed, making it uninhabitable and displacing hundreds of thousands of people. Gaza, one of the most densely populated areas globally, is home to around 2.1 million residents.

“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” the US President said. We would level destroyed buildings and “create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area," he added.

"If it's necessary, we'll do that, we're going to take over that piece, we're going to develop it, create thousands and thousands of jobs, and it'll be something that the entire Middle East can be very proud of," Trump added.
