President Trump on Gaza:

“They’re gonna have peace,” Trump said of the Palestinians he wants to displace from Palestine. “They’re not going to be shot at and killed and destroyed like this civilization of wonderful people has had to endure. The only reason the Palestinians wanna go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. It’s right now a demolition site. This is just a demolition site. Virtually every building is down. They’re living under fallen concrete that’s very dangerous and very precarious.”

The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job. Do something different. Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s gonna end up the same way it has for 100 years.

Moreover, the President echoed Jared Kushner’s comments made last year that Gaza could be a luxury resort:

“We’re going to take over that piece that we’re going to develop it. We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal. And I don’t want to be cute, I don’t want to be a wise guy, but the Riviera of the Middle East, this could be something that could be so — this could be so magnificent.”

Just the President popping off with another hare-brained scheme that his supporters are going to try and convince us that he is playing 4-dimensional chess and we just don’t understand? Or just more political theater?

At the second link above you can read how neighboring nations, political leaders, Palestinians and Israelis are reacting to the President’s developer’s pie-in-the-sky dreams.

And just for fun:
