Washington:
President Donald Trump made an extraordinary proposal to “handle” the Gaza Strip to the United States, as he hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for important talks with Hamas.

Trump said at a joint press conference with Netanyahu, “America will capture the Gaza Strip and we will also do a job with it. We will be the owner of it.”
Trump said that the United States would get rid of unexplained bombs, “levels” and destroyed buildings would be removed, and “an economic development that will supply unlimited number of jobs and housing to the people of the region . “
But Trump suggested that it was not Palestinians who would return there.
He said, “It should not go through the process of reconstruction and business by those who actually stand there and fought there and lived there and died there and stayed there in a pathetic existence,” he said.
He said that two million residents of Gaza should instead “should go to other countries with human hearts.”
