Washington DC:
The government of US President Donald Trump seems to have returned to his proposal to resettle the population of Gaza, with State Secretary Marco Rubio who clarifies that action on Palestinian territory, would be temporary. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt of the White House also clarified the American president's comments and said that the US was not going to place “boots on the ground” in Gaza.
In the past week, Mr. Trump implied that the US would “take over” Gaza, which means that residents are being transported to adjacent areas. He said that the more than 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas had left the territory as a “demolition location”, and it must be rebuilt so that “world people” can live there. The proposal has drawn the anger of Palestinians, who worried that they may never be admitted again when they flee, and of the Arab countries that Mr. Trump called to record them.
'No permanent solution'
Rubio, who is on his first foreign journey as State Secretary to Guatemala City, Mr Trump called Mr Trump a clarity about the proposal.
“In the meantime, people will of course have to live somewhere while you rebuild it,” he said.
Mr. Trump's press secretary Leavitt also clarified that the translocation of the Gazans would be a temporary solution, not a permanent solution.
“The president has made it clear that they must be moved from Gaza temporarily,” she said, and currently called it “an uninhabitable place for people”. She added that it would be “bad to suggest that people should live in such terrible circumstances.”
What did Trump say?
Both Mr Rubio and the comments of Mrs. Leavitt were contradictory with Mr Trump, who said on Tuesday evening: “If we can get a nice area to permanently reset people, in beautiful houses where they can be happy and cannot be shot and not Being killed and not being killed dead like what happens in Gaza. ”
He said that American officials frame his call to “restore” all Palestinians from Gaza as a humanitarian gesture, because there is no alternative to people who live there because Gaza is a “demolition location”. The president added that he had “long-term” of the American ownership of the territory in mind, which is located along the Mediterranean Sea and redevelops it into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will also do a job with it,” Mr Trump said on Tuesday during a joint press conference with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who supported the idea that it was worth paying attention “.
