WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he isn't ruling out deploying U.S. troops to support reconstruction of Gaza and he envisions "long-term" U.S. ownership of a redevelopment of the territory.
"We'll do what is necessary," Trump said about the possibility of deploying troops to fill any security vacuum. "If it's necessary, we'll do that."
The comments came after Trump said he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
"We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site," Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump added the U.S. would level destroyed buildings and "create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area."
The comments came after Trump earlier suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be "permanently" resettled outside the war-torn territory.

If you really listen to the people of Gaza, they would be most happy if you sent them to see Allah.

This sounds like a bad idea but just think about all the skilled hardworking software engineers and rocket scientists that will now be US citizens!

He wants Egypt and Jordan and Lebanon to take them in. His off the cuff comments make it sound like he means only temporarily moved out of Gaza while it is rebuiltinto a parking lot and a new Trump Tower and Resort after which they'll then return.

Honestly sounds like the most humane thing. Except for whoever we dump the palestinians on. Probably somewhere in Africa. Or maybe in one of the stans. Is Uzbekistan using all its land?
