The White House argued that the plan of Donald Trump, which assumes the dominance of the flying land, does not necessarily mean “putting boots on the ground” to relieve the fear of prolonged US military intervention in Gaza.
Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said the president “has made a historic proposal for the US to take over Gaza,” but he “has not been “committed” to deploy US troops “yet” .
“The United States has made a very clear thing that the United States needs to be involved in this rebuilding effort,” she said on Wednesday. “That doesn’t mean the boots on the ground of Gaza. It doesn’t mean that American taxpayers provide funds to this effort.”
Leavitt’s comments have caused a stir all over the world following the suggestion that Trump should “control” the Palestinian enclaves in the United States and around the world, and that the entire population of 2.2 million should be resettled. It comes the day after the cause.
Leavitt revealed that Enclave residents will be “temporarily relocated” while the strip is being rebuilt.
The plan sparked hostile reactions from many people in the president’s own party, with some Republicans stating that he had against his “American first” agenda and US intervention in “endless” foreign wars. He said he got lost after years of criticism.
“We thought we were the first to vote for America,” said Rand Paul, a Republican Sen. in Kentucky. “We don’t have a business of pondering yet another profession to destiny our treasures and spilling soldiers’ blood.”
Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley reflected his concerns. “I think spending a lot of money in Gaza is making the most of the resources of the United States,” he told Jewish insiders.
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham described the plan as “problematic.” “I think most South Carolinians probably aren’t excited to send Americans to take over Gaza,” he said.
Members of Trump’s cabinet tried to immediately reassure the party and the US public about the proposal, without providing details on how it would work.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the president’s proposal “does not imply a hostile move,” but rather a “offer for reconstruction.”
“What he is very generous is the ability to help the United States to remove debris, remove ammunition, reconstruct, reconstruct houses and companies, and reconstruct this property. He said.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegses said Trump was “a willing to think outside the box” on the issue, but refused to provide details on whether potential military involvement is under consideration. .
“We are looking forward to cooperating with our allies and our counterparts to see all options in diplomatic and militaryly, but we are certainly ahead of the President. He doesn’t provide more details about what we can do, “he said.
Recommendation
Meanwhile, Democrats accused Trump of supporting “ethnic cleansing” in the enclave, accusing the president of abandoning the needs of American voters and sending funds to faraway areas.
“We’re a sought-after sought-after,” said Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat Sen. from Maryland. “It’s ethnic cleansing by another name.”
“While the funds to the Israeli government are continuing to flowing, he has completely cut off working Americans from the Federal Fund,” said Democratic Representative Rashida Turave.
