Trump's 'own' Gaza bid: Aides knew Potus wanted to take over but had no written plan, says report
FirstpostTrump and his team had been discussing the idea for months and some of his advisors saw it as a negotiating ploy to give Israeli leaders more leverage over Hamas as they try to navigate a ‘fragile’ ceasefire deal US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talk outside the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, US, January 27, 2020. File Image/Reuters Hours before US President Donald Trump proclaimed to takeover Gaza at a joint press conference with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a report suggested that his aides were aware of what was coming. The international community was left shocked after Trump pitched to relocate nearly 2 million Palestinians from their homeland in Gaza so that the United States could “take over” the area and turn it into “the Riviera of the Middle East.” ‘No written plan’: White House While clarifying Trump’s remarks, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made it clear that there was “no written plan” regarding this. In the middle of the night, Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry issued a statement reaffirming its “complete rejection of any infringement on the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, whether through Israeli settlement policies, annexation of Palestinian lands or attempts to displace the Palestinian people from their land.” Meanwhile, Jordan’s King Abdullah told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that he and his country reject “any attempts to annex lands and displace Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank” and stressed “the need to establish the Palestinians on their land.” It is pertinent to note that Trump is scheduled to meet the Jordanian king next week.
