Deporting a Semitic people from their land and redeveloping it as an imperial power's playground, flying in the face of the region's ancient religious and cultural traditions...
What's that they say about what we learn from history? That we learn nothing?
Deporting? I didnt hear anything about deporting.
I also strongly believe that the Gaza Strip, which has been a symbol of death and destruction for so many decades and so bad for the people anywhere near it, and especially those who live there, and frankly who’s been really very unlucky. It’s been very unlucky. It’s been an unlucky place for a long time. Being in its presence just has not been good. And it should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have really stood there and fought for it and lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there.
Instead, we should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts, and there are many of them that want to do this, and build various domains that will ultimately be occupied by the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza, ending the death and destruction and frankly bad luck.
This could be paid for by neighboring countries of great wealth. It could be one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, twelve. It could be numerous sites, or it could be one large site. But the people will be able to live in comfort and peace and we’ll get sure, we’ll make sure something really spectacular is done. They’re going to have peace. They’re not going to be shot at and killed and destroyed like this civilization of wonderful people has had to endure.
The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. It’s right now a demolition site. This is just a demolition site. Virtually every building is down. They’re living under fallen concrete that’s very dangerous and very precarious. They instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety, and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony, instead of having to go back and do it again.
The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job. Do something different. Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for a hundred years.
I’m hopeful that this ceasefire could be the beginning of a larger and more enduring peace that will end the bloodshed and killing once and for all. With the same goal in mind, my administration has been moving quickly to restore trust in the alliance and rebuild American strength throughout the region, and we’ve really done that. We’re a respected nation again. A lot’s happened in the last couple of weeks. We are actually a very respected nation again.
I ended the last administration’s de facto arms embargo on over one billion dollars in military assistance for Israel. And I’m also pleased to announce that this afternoon, the United States withdrew from the antisemitic UN Human Rights Council and ended all of the support for the UN Relief and Works Agency, which funneled money to Hamas, and which was very disloyal to humanity.
Today, I also took action to restore a maximum pressure policy on the Iranian regime, and we will once again enforce the most aggressive possible sanctions, drive Iranian oil exports to zero and diminish the regime’s capacity to fund terror throughout the region and throughout the world.
We had no threat when I left office. Iran was not able to sell oil. Nobody was buying oil because I said: Don’t buy it. If you buy it, you’re not doing any business with the United States. And Hamas was not being funded. Hezbollah was not being funded. Nobody was being funded. There would never have been an October 7th.
Two weeks ago, I once again designated the Houthis as a terrorist organization. They’re trying to destroy world shipping lanes. And that’s not going to happen. And over the weekend, I ordered air strikes against senior ISIS leaders hiding in the caves of Somalia, and took them out.
Here in America, we’ve begun the process of deporting foreign terrorists, jihadists and Hamas sympathizers from our soil, just as we have people that are extremely evil. And we’re sending them out of our country. They came from jails. They came from mental institutions and insane asylums. And they were dumped into our country. They’re gang members. And we’re getting them out at numbers that nobody can actually believe. And every single country is taking those people back. They said they would never take them back, and they’re all taking them back. And they’re taking them back very gladly.
Together, America and Israel will renew the optimism that shined so brightly just four years ago. It was really a bright, beautiful light. We will restore calm and stability to the region and expand prosperity, opportunity and hope to our nations and for all people of the Middle East, including the Arab and Muslim nations. Very important. We want the Arab and Muslim nations to have peace and have tranquility and have great lives.
