In a joint press conference after meeting Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump has announced that the US will take over Gaza Strip and rebuild it, as a developed area where people can live peacefully. He added that the Gaza Strip may become the Riviera of the Middle East, after the US takes over.

“The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site and getting rid of the destroyed buildings. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area,” Trump said.

The US President also announced America’s departure from the “anti-semitic” UN Human Rights Council and the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which drew a lot of flak over the allegations of links with Hamas.
