U.S. President Donald J. Trump on Thursday shared on his social media platform, Truth Social, that the Gaza Strip “would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting.”

Trump indirectly called his political opponent Chuck Schumer as ‘Palestinian’ in his statement on Thursday. Trump called Schumer as ‘a proud member of Hamas’ last year.

The statement shortly follows Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week, where the American president reiterated similar remarks during a joint press briefing.

The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting. The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the world, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth. No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed! Stability for the region would reign!!!
