Trump's explosive comments were made during a news conference on Tuesday alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he suggested expelling Palestinians from Gaza, likely moving in American troops, and then developing the area as a “the Riviera of the Middle East” for tourists.

“What Trump has done is bolster the mainstreaming of Kahanism, pushing us further away from what has to happen: prolonging ceasefire, releasing hostages and prisoners, rebuilding Gaza and Israel, and an agreement based on liberation and justice for Palestinians,” he said.

The world was still reeling Wednesday from President Donald Trump's stunning proposal that the U.S. "take over" war-torn Gaza, clear the rubble and economically develop the area -- after the nearly 2 million Palestinians who live there were removed to other countries.
