Trump says no right of return for Palestinians in Gaza under his plan for US ‘ownership’

"Trump, in an interview with FOX News’ Bret Baier that was set to air on Monday, said “No, they wouldn’t” when asked if Palestinians in Gaza would have a right to return to the territory. It comes as he has ramped up pressure on Arab states, especially U.S. allies Jordan and Egypt, to take in Palestinians from Gaza, who claim the territory as part of a future homeland.

“We’ll build safe communities, a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is,” Trump said. “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. No big money spent."

After Trump’s initial comments last week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Secretary of State Marco Rubio respectfully insisted that Trump only wanted Palestinians relocated from Gaza “temporarily” and for an “interim” period to allow for debris removal, the disposal of unexploded ordinance and reconstruction."

I am sure he somehow doesn't mean it. 

Macro Rubio insisted Trump only wants them relocated temporarily, now I can't wait for him to bend over backwards to justify Trump's new comments. The Arab states will not like this, it's a powder keg waiting to explode, once again, America is showing a huge misunderstanding of the regions complexities which could potentially prove fatal, I only hope if it backfires on America it doesn't drag Europe into another pointless war.

This could push these countries closer to China as well.
