00:00U.S. President Donald Trump says on Tuesday, Feb. 4, the U.S. will take control of war-torn
00:07Gaza and transform it into a Riviera of the Middle East after Palestinians are resettled
00:12elsewhere.
00:13The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too.
00:17We're going to develop it, create thousands and thousands of jobs, and it'll be something
00:23that the entire Middle East can be very proud of.
00:25This after Trump's surprising proposal earlier on Tuesday to permanently resettle Palestinians
00:30from Gaza to neighboring countries.
00:32However, Trump does not address how the U.S. could legally take long-term control over
00:37Gaza.
00:38Hamas official Sami Abou Zouri says Trump's remarks on taking control of Gaza are ridiculous
00:43and absurd and could destabilize the Middle East.
00:46The statement also draws swift condemnation from Saudi Arabia while rejecting any effort
00:50to displace Palestinians from their land.
