Trump says Palestinians wouldn't have a right to return to Gaza under his redevelopment plan

From CNN's Kevin Liptak

President Donald Trump said explicitly that Palestinians would not have a right to return to Gaza under his plan to take US ownership of the strip and rebuild it.

“No, they wouldn’t,” Trump said in an interview on Fox that was aired Monday morning when asked whether the Palestinians would have a right to return. “Because they’re going to have much better housing. Much better – in other words, I’m talking about building a permanent place for them.”

Trump had previously said he didn’t think Palestinians should return to their Gaza homeland, but is now stating clearly their displacement would be permanent.

“If they have to return now, it’ll be years before you could ever – it’s not habitable. It will be years before it could happen,” he said. “I’m talking about starting to build and I think I could make a deal with Jordan. I think I could make a deal with Egypt. We give them billions and billions of dollars a year.”

Trump is set to met Tuesday with King Abdullah of Jordan, who along with his counterparts in Egypt and other Arab nations has flatly rejected Trump’s plan.

Trump told Fox his plan was to “own” Gaza.

“We’ll build safe communities a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is and in the meantime, I would own this. Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful piece of land,” he said.
