United States Rules Out Troop Deployment to Gaza, Relies on Diplomatic Expertise

Former President Donald Trump suggested on Thursday through his social media platform, Truth Social, that Israel should hand over the Gaza Strip to the United States after the conflict ends. His vision involves relocating Palestinians to safer, more modern communities within the region, while the U.S., in cooperation with international development teams, transforms the area into one of the world's most magnificent cities.

“Israel would transfer the Gaza Strip to the United States once hostilities conclude. Palestinians would already be resettled in much safer, beautiful communities, with brand-new, modern housing in the region. They would genuinely have the opportunity to be happy, secure, and free,” Trump stated.

He emphasized that his plan would not necessitate the deployment of U.S. troops and assured that his proposal would secure regional stability. Despite these claims, Trump declared on Tuesday that his administration would take charge of rebuilding Gaza, addressing explosive remnants, and developing new infrastructure.

US Leadership and Vision for Gaza

Reacting to Trump's proposition, Secretary of State Marco Rubio commented on platform X that Gaza should be liberated from Hamas, and as the former president indicated, the United States is poised to lead efforts to restore Gaza's splendor. Rubio underscored the intention to achieve lasting peace in the area for all peoples.

This Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated during a press briefing that the United States would not send troops to Gaza nor fund the Palestinian enclave's reconstruction. She dismissed the notion that this strategy involves American intervention in overseas conflicts: “The president has not committed to deploying U.S. troops to Gaza. Nor has he stated that the United States will finance the reconstruction.”

Leavitt also highlighted that the Trump administration intends to collaborate with regional allies to ensure stability in the region. “This is an innovative idea, and that is what President Trump represents. His goal is to achieve enduring peace in the Middle East for all communities,” she added.

A Visionary Approach to Middle East Peace

In this context, the spokesperson emphasized that various stakeholders have made it clear to Trump that the U.S. should partake in Gaza's reconstruction to ensure regional stability. On Tuesday, Trump had his first bilateral meeting at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reinforcing the alliance between the two nations and their commitment to eliminate Hamas.

According to Leavitt, the president is convinced that his vision is the only one capable of altering the course in the region: “Persisting with the same approaches and expecting different outcomes is insanity. Trump is a visionary leader who addresses problems considered unsolvable by many.”

Trump's groundbreaking proposal for the United States to oversee Gaza's reconstruction reaffirms, according to the White House, his commitment to regional stability and peace.
