‘The Riviera of the Middle East’
Appetites are growing: the United States will take the Gaza Strip from Israel at the end of the conflict, and then turn it into ‘the Riviera of the Middle East.’

In press conference with PM, president proposes US replace Hamas in Gaza, doesn’t rule out possibility of sending troops; says he’ll soon announce policy on Israel annexing West Bank
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump on Tuesday declared his desire for the United States to “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip, again stunning a global audience hours after doing so with his call for permanently relocating the coastal enclave’s entire population.
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it,” Trump said in prepared remarks at the start of a joint press conference with visiting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the two leaders met in the Oval Office.
There had been speculation that Trump would use his Tuesday meeting with Netanyahu to urge him to commit to carrying out the second phase of the ongoing Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. The prime minister is under pressure from his far-right coalition partners to resume fighting at the conclusion of the first phase next month.
Trump said that Israel could hand over the Gaza Strip to the United States after the end of the conflict. And the Palestinians will be resettled in “safer and more beautiful” places.
“They would really have a chance to be happy, free and safe. No US soldiers will be needed! Stability will reign in the region!!!” – the American president wrote on his page on the Truth Social network.
