Several Gazans contacted by Reuters were a little underwhelmed by convicted felon President Trump’s “proposal” to send US troops to take control of the territory and forcibly relocate them.
“Trump can go to hell, with his ideas, with his money, and with his beliefs. We are going nowhere. We are not some of his assets,” said Samir Abu Basel in Gaza City via a chat app. “If he wants to resolve this conflict he should take the Israelis and put them in one of the states (in America). They are the strangers, not the Palestinians. We are the owners of the land. He spoke with much arrogance…he can test us, and soon he will find out his fantasies don’t work with us.”
