00:00President Donald Trump says Israel will hand over Gaza to the United States after the fighting
00:05was over and the enclave's residents had been resettled elsewhere.
00:08Trump claims this means no U.S. troops would be required on the ground.
00:13Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz says on X,
00:15I welcome President Donald Trump's bold initiative, which can create extensive opportunities
00:19for those in Gaza who wish to leave.
00:22Trump's announcement that the U.S. will take control of and develop Gaza into the
00:26Riviera of the Middle East was met with global condemnation.
00:29Katz says he ordered the army to create a plan allowing for the voluntary departure
00:33of Gazans from Palestine.
00:35He adds it will include exit options through land crossings, along with special provisions
00:40for departure by sea and air.
00:42Meantime, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says people would need to live elsewhere while
00:47Gaza was being rebuilt, but did not specify whether they can return.
00:51Gaza is home to over 2 million Palestinians.
