Trump says US should take over Gaza Strip, turn it into a ‘freedom zone’
“If it’s necessary, I think I’d be proud to have the United States have it, take it, make it a freedom zone,” he said during a business roundtable. “Let some good things happen, put people in homes where they can be safe, and Hamas is going to have to be dealt with,’ Trump was quoted as saying. This is the first time Trump has made such statements to Arab leaders in a formal setting, notably while in a country that has played a primary role in mediating the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal. In February, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting the White House, Trump suggested that the US take over Gaza. The US would create economic development that would supply an “unlimited number of jobs and housing for the people of the area,�” Trump said at the time. ‘I do see [a] long-term ownership position, and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East and maybe the entire Middle East,’ he said in January. � “Gaza is an integral part of Palestinian land. It is not real estate for sale on the open market.” “I

Israel hits Gaza Strip, Trump touts ‘freedom zone’ plan
Most of the victims, including women and children, were killed in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip’s south. The dead included local journalist Hassan Samour, who worked for the Hamas-run al-Aqsa radio station. In Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, the health ministry said an Israeli strike on al-Tawba medical clinic killed at least 15 people and wounded several others. Israel carried out the latest strikes on the day Palestinians commemorate the “Nakba” or catastrophe, when hundreds of thousands of people fled or were forced to flee their hometowns and villages during the 1948 Middle East war that gave birth to the state of Israel. Hamas said in a statement that Israel was making a “desperate attempt to negotiate under cover of fire” as indirect ceasefire talks take place between Israel and Hamas, involving Trump envoys and Qatar and Egyptian mediators in Doha. US President Donald Trump said he has “concepts for Gaza that I think are very good: make it a freedom zone, let the United States get involved” He first pitched his idea in February, suggesting the US would redevelop it and relocate Palestinians. The plan drew global condemnation, with Palestinians, Arab countries and the United Nations saying it would
US would make Gaza a ‘freedom zone’, Trump says in Qatar | Reuters
The United Nations says it will not take part in a U.S.-backed humanitarian operation in Gaza. Israel pledged to facilitate the effort without being involved in aid deliveries. The U.N. said on Thursday it is not impartial, neutral or independent. The operation is being led by the United States, Israel and Egypt. The mission is expected to be completed by the end of the week or early next week.
US Would Make Gaza a ‘Freedom Zone,’ Trump Says in Qatar
President Donald Trump tells a business roundtable in Qatar that he wants to take over the Gaza Strip. Trump first pitched his Gaza idea in February, saying the US would redevelop it and relocate Palestinian residents. The plan drew condemnation from Palestinians, Arab nations, and the UN saying it would amount to ethnic cleansing. Most of Gaza’s 2.3 million population is internally displaced as Israel continues its military campaign against the Hamas terrorist group, which has ruled the enclave for nearly two decades. Many Palestinians reject any plan involving them leaving Gaza, which Israel began its campaign after the October 2023 Hamas attack on southern Israeli communities.. Hamas official Basem Naim said the president “possesses the necessary influence” to end the Gaza war and help establish a Palestinian state. But Naim added: “Gaza is an integral part of Palestinian land — it is not real estate for sale on the open market.” Trump has previously said he want to turn Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.’ “I think I’d be proud to have the United States have it, take it, make it a freedom zone. Let some good things happen,” he said
Israeli strikes kill over 115 Palestinians as Trump suggests to ‘take’ Gaza – AL-Monitor: The Middle Eastʼs leading independent news source since 2012
At least 115 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed since dawn on Thursday in a wave of Israeli attacks on residential areas and displaced camps. The total casualties include at least 61 people killed in a series of strikes in Khan Younis, in the south, according to local media and reports. In Gaza City, thousands of people were reported fleeing after the Israeli military warned civilians to evacuate al-Rimal neighborhood. In a Wednesday evening post on X, the military accused Hamas of continuing to use civilian facilities, including hospitals and educational institutions, to conduct “terrorist activities” and exploit the civilian population as human shields. Negotiations on a new deal began in Doha on Wednesday, after Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander was released from Gaza on Monday under a deal negotiated between the Donald Trump administration and Hamas. US special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff met with Qatari officials and the families of hostages in the Qatari capital on Wednesday. Israel’s Channel 12 has proposed a new formula that includes a complete halt of the fighting and the release of the remaining hostages, during which talks on terms for ending the war would be held. Hamas is believed to still hold 57 hostages in Gaza, including 34 that the Israeli
Trump Again Suggests U.S. Takes Over Gaza, Turn It Into a ‘Freedom Zone’
Trump says he has ” Concepts for Gaza that I think are very good” The comments come as Israel gears up to intensify its operations in Gaza. Israel has said it will begin an operation to control the totality of the enclave if no comprehensive agreement is made by the time Trump’s Middle East trip ends. Hamas said it’s willing to release all hostages who remain in Gaza in exchange for an end to the war and Israel pulling back its troops. But Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the country will go further and not withdraw from the enclave even if the hostages are returned, calling on compatriots to embrace the word “occupation” and “will stop being afraid of the word occupation””I’d be proud to have the United States have it, take it, make it a freedom zone,” Trump said in Doha, Qatar on Thursday, referring to war-torn Gaza. He has previously said he would like for the U.S. to take over Gaza and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East,” a reference to the Persian Gulf.
