Trump 'Committed To Buying & Owning Gaza' As Poll Shows Little Support Among US Public
President Trump has reiterated his proposal to take control of Gaza, saying he is committed to “buying and owning” the war-ravaged enclave in comments given to reporters Sunday aboard Air Force One. Trump described that Gaza should be thought of as a "big real estate site" and that neighboring and regional Arab states could be tasked with handling its redevelopment.
“I’m committed to buying and owning Gaza. As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it,” Trump told the press pool while flying to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
"But we’re committed to owning it, taking it, and making sure that Hamas doesn’t move back. There’s nothing to move back into. The place is a demolition site."

Addressing the question of the hundreds of thousands of internally displaced, he said of Gazans, "If we could give them a home in a safer area – the only reason they’re talking about returning to Gaza is they don’t have an alternative. When they have an alternative, they don’t want to return to Gaza." However, videos over the past days and week have shown families pouring back into the north, most often by food and carrying possessions on their backs.
