Criticism and concern spread across both sides of the aisle Tuesday night after President Donald Trump announced that the United States “will take over the Gaza Strip.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called the proposal “problematic,” adding that he does not think his constituents would be excited about sending U.S. soldiers to take control of Gaza.

“We’ll see what the Arab world says, but you know, that’d be problematic at many, many levels,” Graham said.

“I don’t know where this came from, but I can tell you ... that would not get many expressions of support from Democrats or Republicans up here,” said Kaine, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee.
