Trump unveiled his surprise plan, without providing specifics, at a joint press conference with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

00:00The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too.
00:05We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and
00:10other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level
00:17it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and
00:22housing for the people of the area.
00:26I do see a long-term ownership position, and I see it bringing great stability to that
00:33part of the Middle East and maybe the entire Middle East.
00:36And everybody I've spoken to – this was not a decision made lightly – everybody
00:40I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing
00:46and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent in a really magnificent
00:51area that nobody would know.
00:53Everybody can look because all they see is death and destruction and rubble and demolished
00:59buildings falling all over.
