US military ‘to look at all options’ in Trump’s plan to transform Gaza into ‘Middle East Riviera,’ Defense Sec vows THE U.S. military said it is prepared to consider "all options" for Gaza after Trump declared he wants America to seize and redevelop the war-torn enclave.
"The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too...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 said after the meeting.
On Wednesday, The White House said that Trump has not committed to putting U.S. troops on the ground in the Gaza Strip as part of his proposal for the Palestinian enclave.
The jaw-dropping plan was unveiled by Trump during a joint press conference with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, the first foreign leader to visit the White House since Don assumed office.
Trump’s shock proposal — to take control of Gaza and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East" — has sparked global condemnation, with critics branding it "ethnic cleansing.".
