" The United States will take control of Gaza , a long-term control that will bring stability to the Middle East , Gaza will be the Riviera of the Middle East ." Donald Trump said this in a press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu, reiterating that "the Palestinians must leave Gaza and live in other countries in peace.

“I hope we can do something beautiful, so beautiful that they won’t want to come back. Why come back? That place was hell,” said Donald Trump, who spoke of a transfer of Palestinians to places so “beautiful” that “they won’t want to come back.” All this while the United States is supposed to take control and long-term ownership of the Strip, to rebuild it and transform it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

According to Trump, both Jordan and Egypt will accept the resettlement of Palestinians. "I know they told you they won't accept it, but I say yes. And I think other countries will accept it as well."

"You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House," the Israeli prime minister commented, recalling the move of the US embassy to Jerusalem, the exit from the nuclear deal with Iran, the Abraham Accords, all things that happened in Trump's first term. "You say things that others refuse to say and everyone is speechless but then they scratch their heads and say: he's right."

Hamas responded immediately, calling Trump's plan "ridiculous" and "absurd": "Any idea of this kind can inflame the region," said an official of the fundamentalist group.
