Trump added that Palestinians could be resettled away from their homes in the war -hired enclave and into “areas where the leaders are currently saying no,” the country leaves free to become “Riviera in the Middle East.”
There was worldwide condemnation of the comments, some of which called it “ethnic purification” and the Palestinian ambassador to the UN answered: “Our homeland is our homeland.”
Gaza has suffered tremendous destruction in the 15-month conflict between Israel and Hamas, with more than 47,000 people killed.

Analysis: Trump has imperial ambitions. Why does none take him seriously?
Just weeks into his second period, Donald Trump has said he would like to make Canada the 51st state, threatened to take over Greenland, regain ownership of the Panama Canal and take control of Gaza.
At least one of these proposals would require the ethnic purification of almost two million people. The others are likely to involve a kind of military strength.
If Vladimir Putin said so, the Security Council would have already met to condemn the Russian leader and press for binding decisions. NATO jet aircraft would be encrypted. The Pentagon budget would double overnight with Raytheon’s share price.
Instead, Trump’s imperial ambitions have been met with a shrug, both at home and abroad.
