Trump says US troops would not be needed in Gaza Strip if military were to take over

President Donald Trump said Thursday that U.S. troops would not be needed in the Gaza Strip if the United States took over the region.

Trump earlier this week suggested the the U.S. would take over the region, occupied by Palestinians before the Israel-Hamas War, and try to send them to other countries, in attempt to end the decades-long Israel-Palestinian dispute there. 

"The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. "The Palestinians, people like [Senate Democrat] Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region."

Trump suggest the U.S. involvement after a White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and reportedly being briefed about how unsafe the region is as a result of the war. 

Some Democrats pushed back on the idea, with Texas Rep. Al Green stating that relocating Gaza's Palestinian residents would be ethnic cleansing. 

Trump said the U.S. would work with development teams from all over the world to rebuild Gaza as a lot of it has been hit hard from the Israel-Hamas war.

"No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed!" Trump's post concluded. "Stability for the region would reign!!!"
