Trump announces the US will take over the Gaza strip

[Atangledweb]

Announcement by Trump.

Take over and 'own it'

New thread since new announcements

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news

My jaw is on the floor.

Yes, I’ve just been reading the news too. It’s very newsing at the moment, isn’t it.

I'm not sure what to say. Just saw the story.

Does that mean Hamas will meekly clear off (naturally the end if Hamas would be good). Does it mean US troops going in.

Many jaws dropped.

Is this a further stage in the war?

Even by Trumps standards this is obscene.

He hasn't a clue. He's insane. He needs to disappear

Its bizarre. I realise there was an old thread but because it's a new announcement started a new thread. Didn't mean to confuse things though.

In a strange way, if you moved people out, rebuilt and then rehomed back again it would give a new start. Not sure hamas will just move out though.

this is fuel to break the ceasefire… for a man that said would stop with wars… this can only come from a brainless person

As well as Greenland and Panama. They're going to be busy.

Oh look, another dead cat on the table. What news story is he trying to distract attention away from?

Unfortunately there is people that agree with him(even on mn). Like Hamas. You can destroy the extremists but not the ideas.

I watched their news conference last night with the sound off, to observe body language alone.
As always, fascinating.
Trump in his usual " do as I say " , " I do
what I want " mode.
Netanyahu looked pleased as punch, he was literally over the moon by whatever was being suggested next to him, could barely contain his excitement.
Will never forget his smug smile.

Trump will restore peace. The Palestinians can leave and settle in Arab countries and the Gaza Strip can be restored to its former glory.

Exciting times lay ahead with the huge investment potential in real estate development.

Bullshit.
He is dangerous, delusional and stupid. Big mouth and small brain.

Palestine doesn't exist, there was never such a country, the population of the West Bank and the Gaza strip is ethnically, linguistically and culturally indistinguishable from the rest of the Arabs in the region.

How is he actually allowed to spout such bullshit? Its plain to see he's mentally unwell

I agree, I was just surmising that, that alternative might have worked since temporary.

Trump obviously hasn't thought this through. He seems to be surrounded by yes men so maybe assumes that everyone will just accept what he says.

As of June 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 146 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members.

HTH

It does rather smack of the adult coming in and taking the toy away as neither of the children can play nicely with it.
If he gives it a go, I expect it will be his Vietnam.

I am convinced he’s a psychopath anyway but now has dementia overlaying it.
