WASHINGTON: The White House has responded to questions raised by President Donald Trump’s Gaza occupation statement that he has not expressed a commitment to deploy US troops in Gaza.
White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt responded to questions raised by reporters after Donald Trump’s announcement of the Gaza occupation plan during a briefing and clarified that he had not promised to deploy troops in Gaza.
White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt was repeatedly asked by reporters whether US troops would be deployed against Hamas in the war-torn Gaza, but the spokesperson replied that the president has not yet made this promise.
The spokesperson said that the president is prepared to rebuild Gaza for the Palestinians and all the people of the region, peace-loving people and those who truly want to see economic development and opportunities in the region.
Caroline Leavitt said that President Trump wants to make sure that it is a place where all people live in peace and the president is the peacemaker.
She said that Trump wants to ensure stability in the region, this does not mean that the army should be deployed in Gaza.
The spokesperson said that Trump wants the Palestinians living in Gaza to be temporarily relocated somewhere else so that the region can be rebuilt.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a visit to Guatemala that US President Donald Trump has offered that the responsibility for rebuilding Gaza will be ours.
He said that this is a unique offer to go in there and clean up the destruction and rubble in Gaza and people can live somewhere else until the reconstruction is done.
Marco Rubio said that this does not mean an extremist action and the details of it still need to be clarified.
It should be noted that US President Donald Trump had said in a press conference at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that the US will occupy the Gaza Strip and we will own it.
The US President had said that he sees a long-term ownership position in Gaza, we will occupy Gaza and make it developed, which will provide jobs to the people of the region and will also give other citizens the opportunity to settle.
He had said that the Palestinians will be settled in Jordan and Egypt, now it remains to be seen what the reaction of the leaders of Jordan and Egypt will be. And claimed that he has informed other leaders of the region about the plan, who have liked the proposal.
