Secretary of State Marco Rubio weighed in on President Trump’s proposal to take over the Gaza Strip, calling to “Make Gaza Beautiful Again.”
“Gaza MUST BE FREE from Hamas,” Rubio posted to the social platform X. “As POTUS shared today, the United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again. Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people.”
On Tuesday, Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During a press conference after the meeting, the president floated the idea that the U.S. would take over the Gaza Strip.
Trump said Palestinians in Gaza could be relocated and settled elsewhere, and that they should not want to return to Gaza.
He said America would be responsible for cleaning up and rebuilding the destroyed region.
“I think you’ll make that into an international, unbelievable place. … I don’t want to be cute, I don’t want to be a wise guy, but the Riviera of the Middle East. … This could be so magnificent,” Trump said.
