Creative Solutions to the challenge five

dangerous unexploded bombs and other
2:42
weapons on the site level the destroyed
2:45
buildings and create economic
2:47
development in the area when asked who
2:50
he envisions living in Gaza after it is
2:53
revealed Trump said the world's people
2:56
including
2:57
Palestinians local media reports Ed on
3:00
Wednesday that the White House first
3:02
backlash from us lomers and allies who
3:04
did not support the proposal many say
3:07
Palestinians should be allowed to stay
3:09
on their land and that it would make
3:11
tensions in the region Wars defense
3:14
secretary Pete H told reporters before
3:17
his own meeting with Netanyahu that the
3:19
president was willing to think outside
3:21
the box look for new and unique Dynamic
3:25
ways to solve problems that have felt
3:27
like the were intractable we had earlier
3:30
reported that on Tuesday president
3:33
Donald Trump of the United States us
3:36
apparently passed across two interesting
3:38
messages during the Press Conference
3:40
held at the White House with the
3:42
visiting Israel prime minister Benjamin
3:45
Netanyahu saying at first that Gaza is a
3:48
symbol of death and destruction where
3:50
the people who have been living in the
3:51
Gaza Street were living in a miserable
3:53
existence hence once revealed the people
3:55
who have fought to keep the Gaza City
3:57
shouldn't occupy the place again calling
4:00
on Egypt Jordan and other countries of
4:03
interest to build new domains or new
4:06
settlements in the neighboring countries
4:08
for the 1.8 million Palestinians that
4:10
will be transferred out of Gaza and by
4:12
second statement Trump said us will take
4:15
over the ownership of the land rebuild
4:18
and make Gaza an economic Center for
4:20
people from different parts of the world
4:22
including Palestinians to occupy on Gaza
4:26
the president has spent basically his
4:27
entire public career criticizing
4:30
foreign entanglements nation building
4:32
sending American troops to fight abroad
4:35
particularly in the Middle East this
4:37
plan seems like it could ultimately
4:38
involve all of those things can you
4:41
explain this reversal and how building
4:44
and owning Gaza squares with America
4:46
First foreign policy I would reject the
4:48
premise of your question that this uh
4:51
forces the United States to be entangled
4:53
in conflicts abroad the president has
4:55
not committed to putting boots on the
4:57
ground in Gaza he has also said that the
4:59
United States is not going to pay for
5:01
the rebuilding of Gaza uh his
5:03
administration is going to work with our
5:05
partners in the region uh to reconstruct
5:08
this region and let me just take a step
5:10
back here because this is an outof
5:12
the-box idea that's who president Trump
5:15
is that's why the American people
5:16
elected him um and his goal is lasting
5:20
peace in the Middle East for all people
5:23
in the region and as I said in my
5:24
opening remarks we've had the same
5:26
people pushing the same solutions to
5:29
this problem for decades and it's been
5:32
very made very clear to the president U
5:34
that the United States needs to be
5:35
revolve involved in this rebuilding
5:37
effort um to ensure stability in the
5:40
region for all people but that does not
5:42
mean boots on the ground in Gaza it does
5:44
not mean American taxpayers will be
5:45
funding this effort it means Donald
5:47
Trump who is the best dealmaker on the
5:49
planet is going to strike a deal with
5:51
our partners in the region he did not
5:53
rule out American troops in Gaza last
5:55
night are you doing that now I am saying
5:57
that the president has not committed to
5:58
that just yet he has not made that
6:00
commitment and you know that and on the
6:02
foreign Partners the jordanians the
6:04
Egyptians the Saudis have already panned
6:06
this plan what foreign Partners if any
6:08
have expressed any interest in being
6:10
part of it well the president has said
6:11
he's been soing this idea for quite some
6:13
time he's been thinking about this he
6:15
said in his remarks last night this was
6:17
not a decision or an announcement that
6:19
he takes lightly um and the president
6:22
has already spoken to uh the president
6:24
Eli in fact that was his first foreign
6:26
leader call he's meeting with uh the
6:28
King of Jordan King Abdullah next week
6:30
he spoke with the king of Bahrain he
6:32
spoke with uh the Crown Prince of Saudi
6:34
Arabia and he has made it very clear
6:36
he's been very vocal that he expects our
6:38
partners in the region particularly
6:40
Egypt and Jordan to accept Palestinian
6:43
refugees temporarily so that we can
6:45
rebuild their home I'd like to show you
6:47
some images of Gaza that were taken and
6:50
Fox News aired this I mean that is as
6:52
they put it in a apocalyptic scene uh in
6:56
Gaza this is an unhabitable place for
6:59
human beings do you really think that
7:01
that families uh can live their dream in
7:04
a region that looks like this with no
7:06
running water no electricity and the
7:09
special Envoy to the President Steve
7:10
witkoff recently traveled to Gaza as you
7:12
all know and he came back with images
7:14
that he showed the president of the dire
7:16
situation here and the president made
7:19
this decision with a humanitarian heart
7:22
for all people in the region uh the
7:24
president and you here again today have
7:26
made clear given the devastation you
7:28
think Palestinians have no choice but to
7:30
leave Gaza and go elsewhere but
7:32
Palestinians say this is their home they
7:33
don't want to go uh the president last
7:35
night said he's willing to use the
7:37
military if necessary is the US prepared
7:39
to remove Palestinians from Gaza by
7:42
force the president is prepared to
7:44
rebuild Gaza for Palestinians and all
7:46
people in the region peaceloving people
7:49
uh who want real Economic Development
7:51
and opportunity in the region this is a
7:54
region that has been controlled by
7:55
Iranian back terrorists Hamas who have
7:58
brutalized not just Israelis but
8:00
Palestinians too it is because of Hamas
8:03
that you see those images on that screen
8:05
that Gaza has become a demolition site
8:07
because Hamas launched that brutal
8:09
attack on Israel on October the 7th and
8:11
so again I would stress president Trump
8:14
wants to ensure that this can be a place
8:16
where all people can live in peace he is
8:19
a peacemaker and chief he made that very
8:21
clear in his first term and as for how
8:24
that will be accomplished the president
8:25
and his team are talking with our allies
8:27
in the region uh to consider next steps
8:29
but should the American people be
8:31
prepared to see US military on the
8:33
ground fighting a ground war against
8:34
Hamas again the president has not
8:36
committed to US troops in the region but
8:38
it is an option I I have said that the
8:40
president has not committed to that
8:43
