From “demolition place” to “Riviera” on the same day: Trump drastically changes plans to Gaza. Your idea is to occupy the region and “create thousands and thousands of jobs.” Hamas says he is “absurd,” but Israeli Prime Minister thinks he is “thinking outside the box.”
“The United States will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a good job with her… Let’s develop it, create thousands and thousands of jobs, And it will be something that the whole Middle East can be proud, ”said Donald Trump at a press conference on Tuesday night, quoted by.
The US president has even more ambitious plans for the region: “The United States will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a good job with it,” he said. “We will be the owners and responsible for the dismantling of all bombs dangerous that did not explode and other weapons on site. We will level the place, eliminate the destroyed buildings, create economic development. ”
He even talked about a “Middle East Riviera”, in which Gaza could become under the guidance of the US.
The strategy chosen by the US President is, this time, quite different from the solution he had proposed on his own-the permanent reinstallation of more than two million Gaza Palestinians in neighboring countries, such as Jordan, Egypt or other Arab states, and nicknamed the enclave of “Place of demolition”.
The Israeli Prime Minister, however, praised the thought “Out of the box” From Trump, who shows “showing a desire to pierce conventional thinking” against the region that is currently at the end of the first phase of a ceasefire agreement.
It should be noted that the Israeli leader for the next phase of the deal, but preferred to go to the US and talk to Trump first about the following strategy, which violates the guidelines of the agreement.
Hamas has already reacted to US President’s statements, quite differently from that of Israel’s leader. “Trump’s comments about his desire to control Gaza are ridiculous and absurdand any ideas of this type are able to set the region on fire, ”said the spokesman for the Palestinian terrorist group Sami Abu Zuhri.
An assessment of UN damages, released by in January, predicted that the cleaning of more than 50 million tons of rubble left in Gaza following Israelite bombing could take 21 years and costs up to $ 1.2 billion (about 1.15 billion euros).
