"The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting," Trump said on Thursday. He reiterated that the idea would mean resettling Palestinians, and that no US soldiers would be needed.

Trump's resettlement idea has prompted accusations that he is planning ethnic cleansing, and has drawn condemnation from the UN, human rights groups and Arab leaders. Analysts doubt it will ever happen.

After Trump's first comments on the issue, his officials suggested any relocation would be only temporary.

Under his plan, Trump wrote on Truth Social, Gazans "would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region". The US would then be part of an effort to redevelop the enclave, he said.
