Trump’s proposal, which Netanyahu expressed enthusiastic support for on Monday (April 7), was put forward multiple times during the opening weeks of his administration and has been globally condemned as a proposal for ethnic cleansing.

00:00When you know how I feel about the Gaza Strip, I think it's an incredible piece of important
00:12real estate, and I think it's something that we would be involved in, but, you know, having
00:19a peace force like the United States there controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would
00:23be a good thing.
00:25Because right now, all it is is for years and years, all I hear about is killing and
00:29Hamas and problems, and if you take the people, the Palestinians, and move them around to
00:35different countries, and you have plenty of countries that will do that, and you really
00:40have a freedom, a freedom zone, you call it the freedom zone, a free zone, a zone where
00:46people aren't going to be killed every day, that's a hell of a place.
00:49It's a, you know what I call it, a great location that nobody wants to live in because they
00:54really don't.
00:56When they had good, when they have good living, real living, where Hamas and all of the problems
01:01they have, the level of death on the Gaza Strip is just incredible.
01:06And I've said it, I don't understand why Israel ever gave it up.
01:11Israel owned it.
01:12It wasn't this man, so I can say it.
01:14He wouldn't have given it up.
01:15I know him very well.
01:16There's no way.
01:18They took oceanfront property and they gave it to people for peace.
01:22How did that work out?
01:23Not good.
01:25Gaza is one of the most dangerous places in the world.
01:27So they gave it away for good intention and it didn't work out that way.
01:32A lot of people like my concept, but you know, there are other concepts that I like too.
01:38And there are some concepts I don't like.
01:40You know what I don't like?
01:41The way it is now.
01:42Because right now it's a dangerous death trap, Gaza.
