Trump clarified his Gaza takeover plan in an early morning Truth Social post, following controversy from his joint briefing with Netanyahu.
The plan envisions Israel turning over Gaza to US control after the current conflict ends.
Trump specifically stated "No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed!" addressing concerns from Republican isolationists.
The proposal includes resettling Palestinians in "safer and more beautiful communities" in the region, though no host countries have expressed interest.
Trump envisions transforming Gaza into "one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth."
The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, has been working to clarify aspects of the plan.
Questions remain about the legal authority for such a US takeover of Gaza.
The proposal has faced criticism for potentially constituting "ethnic cleansing," depending on whether the Palestinian relocation would be temporary or permanent.
Trump mentioned working with "great development teams from all over the World" to reconstruct Gaza.
The specificity of Trump's new statement suggests this is more than just a negotiation tactic.
