US president proposes taking over Strip and resettling Palestinians, prompting outrage.
Donald Trump, the president of the US, urges the country to retake control, raze Gaza, and redevelop it.
Additionally, he reiterated his intention to forcefully relocate 2.3 million Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan.
At a press conference held at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the president made these and other contentious remarks.
His remarks have been described as dangerous, irresponsible, absurd and tantamount to ethnic cleansing.
So, is this off-the-cuff bluster – designed to grab headlines and attention – or does Trump believe his plans are realistic?
