President Donald Trump reasserted his vision for a “spectacular” development in the Gaza Strip, led by the US and without Palestinians, in a social media post early Thursday.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that Israel would hand over control of Gaza to the US “at the conclusion of fighting,” and that no US soldiers would be needed to execute his plan.
