Asked if he would send American troops to Gaza, Trump replied: “We will do whatever it is necessary, we will take control of that area, develop it and create thousands and thousands of jobs. It’s something that the Middle East will be very proud. ”
Egypt and Jordan have already rejected Trump’s plans to reset Palestinians out of Gaza after the US president said last month that it was time to “clean” the enclave.
But Trump reaffirmed his position on Tuesday, describing Gaza as a “demolition site” and saying that he expected Cairo and Amman, both beneficiaries of large amounts of the US to accept the Palestinians. Jordan king Abdullah will meet Trump next week in Washington to present his arguments against the proposal.

Arab and European countries expect ceasefire and hostage agreement between Israel and the Palestinian group to lead to a permanent end of war, which would allow the beginning of the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
But Trump said: “If we can find the right place, or several places, and build for them some really good places, with a lot of money in the region (…) I think it would be much better than coming back to Gaza, which has decades and decades of deaths. ”
