President Donald Trump said alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States would “own” the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas war.
“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and do a job with it too. We’ll own it,” Trump told reporters at his first joint press conference with a foreign leader at the White House of his second term.

“We’re going develop it,” Trump responded about U.S. plans for Gaza while not taking off the table sending troops to the Middle East.
