Gaza: Trump's Real Estate Dream

This: The President of the United States sees Gaza, a place torn apart by war, as a giant plot of land. A place to build and make money. This is what we learned in an interview with Trump on a plane headed to the Super Bowl. Trump said that he didn't want to let people return to Gaza. He explained that he thought of Gaza as a huge construction site. He wanted the United States to take control of it. Then he could build houses, roads, and make the area stable. He said that this would bring peace to the Middle East. The United Nations reported that Israel's war against Hamas has forced 90% of Gaza's residents to leave their homes. Many have had to move several times. Trump, who used to be a big real estate developer, said that Gaza needed to be fixed up. He wanted to make it a beautiful place. Trump first talked about his plans for Gaza during a news conference with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. He said that the US would take over Gaza and make it great. He called it a "new Riviera. " Netanyahu liked Trump’s idea. He said it was a new and exciting plan. He thought it would help Israel for a long time. But not everyone agrees. A Hamas leader called Trump’s idea ridiculous. He said that Gaza isn’t a piece of property. It’s part of Palestine. He thinks Trump’s plan won’t work. Other leaders in the region also disagree. They think Trump’s ideas are different from what the US has done before. They will talk more about this when Trump meets the King of Jordan. Trump’s national security advisor said that Trump’s plan could bring other countries to the table to discuss solutions. He said that the White House has heard from many people since Trump talked about his plan. What do you think? Is Trump’s idea a good one? Or is it silly? Think about it. Do you believe that turning a war-torn place into a real estate project is the right way to bring peace?
