At the White House on Tuesday US president Donald Trump announced an outrageous idea to solve the war in the Gaza.
The US, he said, would seize control of Gaza and permanently displace the entire Palestinian population; the US would turn it into “the Riviera of the Middle East”.
The declaration was made at a joint press conference at The White House with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who welcomed the idea without explicitly endorsing it.
The suggestion was roundly condemned across the Arab world and criticised by western leaders, the UN and NGOs like Amnesty International.
