Lewis Goodall unpacks Trump's Gaza takeover plan | LBC

Lewis Goodall analyses Donald Trump's controversial announcement that he's planning for the US to 'take over' the Gaza strip.
Trump stressed that "the Gaza thing has never worked" and said the US could 'take over' the region as he hosted Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.
During the visit, Trump, alongside top advisers, made the case that a three-to-five-year timeline for reconstruction of the war-torn territory, was not a viable option.
"If we could find the right piece of land, pieces of land, and build them some really nice places, I think that would be a lot better than going back to Gaza," Trump told reporters from the Oval Office.

During a press conference late on Tuesday following his meeting with Netanyahu, the US president went on to describe how Gaza had been a "very unlucky place for a long time".
He added that together, the US and Israeli would return "peace" and
"prosperity" to the region going forward and proposed a US-owned land where Palestinians could live "peacefully".
