US President Donald Trump attempts to clarify some details about his plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza and for the US to take over the territory’s rebuilding.
“The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting,” he says in a post on Truth Social.
Gazans “would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region,” he contends — again appearing to suggest all of the Strip’s population would be displaced.
He says “no soldiers by the US would be needed” in Gaza, since “the US, working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth.”
“Stability for the region would reign!!!”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
