Trump’s proposal for Gaza: Palestinians and Israelis react

Palestinians, their allies and other nations reacted strongly to President Donald Trump’s proposal that the United States ‘take over’ the Gaza Strip and permanently resettle its residents.Trump’s suggestion came at a White House news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who smiled several times as the president detailed a plan to build new settlements for Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, and for the US to take ‘ownership’ in redeveloping the war-torn territory into ‘the Riviera of the Middle East.’
