United States President Donald Trump has said Israel will hand over Gaza to the US after Palestinians have been resettled elsewhere in the region, doubling down on his controversial resettlement plan after administration officials tried to walk back the most contentious aspects of the proposal.
A day after officials from his administration sought to clarify that any resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza would be temporary, Trump said on Thursday that the US would assume control of the enclave after Palestinians had been settled in “far safer and more beautiful” communities in the region.
