“We’re not buying Gaza, we’re owning it” — Trump

Trump met with Jordan’s King Abdullah at the White House on February 11 and discussed the idea of ​​moving Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip and bringing Gaza under American control. “We’re not buying it, because there’s nothing we can buy. We’re owning it and we’re taking it,” Trump said. He also said Gaza would be transformed into a “gem of the region.”
Trump has said he may cut off aid to Jordan and Egypt if they don’t agree to move Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip. Jordan is already home to millions of Gazans. King Abdullah said after the meeting that his country “is firmly opposed to the displacement of Palestinians.” Egypt has also strongly rejected the idea of ​​moving Palestinians out of the strip.
