On the 9th (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump referred to the Gaza Strip as a “huge real estate property” and expressed willingness to give some land to other Middle Eastern countries to aid the reconstruction efforts of the Gaza Strip.
According to reports from foreign media such as Reuters and CNN, President Trump made these remarks aboard Air Force One while en route to New Orleans, Louisiana, to watch the Super Bowl, the championship game of the National Football League (NFL). He stated, “We are committed to purchasing and owning the Gaza Strip,” indicating his interest in the area.
President Trump also said, “Allowing Palestinians or residents of the Gaza Strip to return there would be a big mistake,” emphasizing that they do not want Hamas returning. As a former real estate businessman, Trump viewed the Gaza Strip as a “huge real estate property” and affirmed that “America will own it, and we will develop it slowly, without rushing.”
Trump mentioned his upcoming meetings with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and expressed hope that these countries would agree to accept Palestinian residents after discussing with him. He suggested that other Middle Eastern countries should welcome Palestinians to beautiful places.
Meanwhile, in a recently released interview with the New York Post, Trump revealed he had a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, he did not disclose details of the conversation or its timing. Nonetheless, he expressed a desire to end the Ukraine war, stating, “We are making progress with President Putin and expect to have more discussions with him at an appropriate time.”
