Donald Trump has stated that his plan to remove Gaza’s residents and reconstruct the Strip will not allow Palestinians to return.
Last week, the president unveiled his plan to “own” Gaza and keep Hamas out while it is being rebuilt. However, he has since contradicted authorities who had stated that any evacuation would only be temporary.
“No, they wouldn’t, because they’re going to have much better housing,” he said in response to a Fox News question about whether Palestinians could return. I’m referring to creating a permanent location for them, to put it another way.
Speaking at the White House on Monday, Mr. Trump also proposed that if Hamas does not free the prisoners as scheduled, the existing ceasefire in Gaza should end on Saturday.
