A dream come for true Itamar Ben-Gvir if he can score some of the action.

Trump says Israel would hand over Gaza after fighting is over, no US troops needed

JERUSALEM/WASHINGTON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday Israel would hand over Gaza to the United States after fighting was over and the enclave's population was already resettled elsewhere, which he said meant no U.S. troops would be needed on the ground.

"The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting," he said. Palestinians "would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region." He added: "No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed!"

Earlier, amid a tide of support in Israel for what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Trump's "remarkable" proposal, Defence Minister Israel Katz said he had ordered the army to prepare a plan to allow Gaza residents who wished to leave to exit the enclave voluntarily.

"I welcome President Trump's bold plan. Gaza residents should be allowed the freedom to leave and emigrate, as is the norm around the world," Katz said on X.

1. He's nuts.

[Ocelot II]

2. There goes the cease-fire. No more captives released.

Once again Trump opens his big yap and throws everything into chaos.

[no_hypocrisy]

29. Released? I'd say Trump's words will result in the murder of the

remaining hostages.

He and Netanyahu are playing with real lives. They aren't even pawns.

[Irish_Dem]

3. Where do they go when they get expelled?

[ananda]

4. This is what the neighboring countries are worried about.

How do they handle so many refugees?

[Irish_Dem]

6. Trump would say that is their problem, not his.

[karynnj]

17. Sadly, it may play to the interest of fascism.

I doubt the wave of refugees from places like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Libya has been the only or main factor in so many European countries moving to the right with an increase in nationalism, but it certainly has been a factor.

Note Trump refers to it as leading to peace ignoring that ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people is NOT peace. It is a war crime.

[Irish_Dem]

20. Trump has immunity for his crimes.

No one will go after him.
People either agree with him or are afraid of him.

He is a mob boss and they like to commit crimes.

[ananda]

22. It makes me think, how did so many people...

get to be so afraid and timid?

It's a bit hard for me to wrap my mind around
all the people who have caved to Trump.

Even the Democrats can't seem to muster much
of a fight.

I guess it started with Gore v. Bush and we never
really got our mojo back once the Republicans
locked up the courts.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Regan, Gingrich, Bush vs Gore, ruthless GOP attacks on everyone.

We saw how cruel Reagan was, closing down the psychiatric hospitals,
and giving power to the wealthy. Then Gingrich and his band of thugs
stalked the Clintons, and other Dems. Teaching them to be afraid.
The banks stole our IRAs and crashed our housing market.

The SC backed Bush stealing the election. The die was cast then.
Our democracy was no longer functioning. The courts backed the
hostile right wing and wealthy class.

Relentless decades of Russian propaganda via Fox News.
And Trump being installed into the WH the first time and again now.

The final blow to our democracy and the Dems know it.

Yes the rapidity of the entire US govt folding for Trump is the most
amazing political event of my lifetime.

[halobeam]

36. I'm not sure his immunity applies to the Hague.

[Irish_Dem]

37. Hague will have to go up against the SS and US military to get to Trump.

[halobeam]

38. Hmm. That can't be good lol.

Do they have teams to like extract him under cover of the night or some interception while he's in transit or something?

Obviously I've no clue how any of it runs, so really asking. Like do they even go up against military to get these extra special pieces of shit?

[Irish_Dem]

40. SS and US military are hard to beat.

And if The Hague actually did get Trump, he would order the US military to come get him
at any cost.

Usually people are not up against the US military, the most powerful military in the world.

ETA: Capturing and kidnapping a sitting US president would be seen as an act of war.
No matter how deserving he is.

[halobeam]

41. That pretty much clears it up! Thanks for your time and information :)

[RobinA]

39. Gee, How To Handle

Palestinian refugees? Let's see...has this problem ever cropped up before, and if so, how was it handled? Did it work out to everyone's satisfaction? Did it cause any downstream problems? Seems like it could cause the type of problems that go on for decades, but who am I to know.

OFFS, the stupidity of this man is limitless.

[surfered]

5. Mar-a-Lago, if there is a just and merciful God

[Irish_Dem]

8. Exactly my thoughts, set up tents right on the damn MAL golf course.

[speak easy]

7. Egypt

[Irish_Dem]

11. There are 2 million people in Gaza. How do they get them to Egypt?

Forced march? Bus? Plane?

[speak easy]

13. Through the Rafah Border Crossing

[Johonny]

35. I assume mass graves

He assures us they aren't returning and that would guarantee it.

[Biophilic]

9. He's a monster. He's delusional.

And the people who support him are also.
No one escapes responsibility. Decent people would have left him after a statement like this. There are no decent people in his administration. They are all as evil as he is.

[tritsofme]

10. This is what the Abandon Harris people wanted.

[PSPS]

12. Yes, those single-issue protest voters really stuck it to the man!!11!1!11!!1

No more arms for Israel and no more brutalizing Palestinians! Oh, wait ...

[enid602]

21. Allies

This is what are so called ‘allies’ wanted.

[Takket]

14. so where exactly in the money to build homes for 2 million people suppsoed to come from?

[WarGamer]

16. BINGO.

[Irish_Dem]

18. US Army Engineers will build them at taxpayer expense. Trump will own them.

[meadowlander]

23. They can double as the Wall - just a row of townhouses from Texas to California.

It's about as likely to happen.

[Botany]

30. Don't worry they are going to a beautiful piece of land and they have billions ....Trump has said so.

[WarGamer]

15. His plan is sooooo full of holes.

1) Jordan, Egypt, SA and others don't want the migrants.

2) Even if you talked them into taking them...

WHO is paying for building a handful of CITIES for 2M people?

BTW the entire San Fernando Valley in California is around 2M people.

Imagine rebuilding it.

[underpants]

28. "At the conclusion of fighting" again 🙄 "no troops" 🙄

When the hell has fighting ever ended there?
HAMAS is just going to just 💨 go away?

No security? Every construction site of any size needs security. Is DeVos’s mercenary force going to do it?

Complete BS but he can’t back down or let it go. He’s simply not able to do it.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. Evicting 2 million people from their homes.

The Goldfinger of All Slumlords.

[Quixote1818]

24. And we thought 9/11 waa bad. Nt

[BeyondGeography]

26. Yup

Trump is a one-man recruiting drive for terrorists. Not that he gives it a thought. Probably sees it as an opportunity. Any attack would be used to quadruple down on Trumpitude.

[dalton99a]

32. +1. There will be a new Palestinian Liberation Organization in the U.S.

[Blue Full Moon]

27. He said it's his land

And it's going to be a beautiful real estate development

[Trueblue Texan]

31. Oh Rash-eeeeeeeda!

I don't think this was what you had in mind, but congratulations on your brilliant election strategy.

[doc03]

33. Sounded like he was encouraging Bebe to level Gaza at 12 noon today nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. There is nothing to buy. It's a war-torn area, we're gonna take it. We're gonna hold it, we're gonna cherish it."
