President Donald Trump says Palestinians in Gaza would not have a right to return under his plan for U.S. “ownership” of the war-torn territory. That contradicts other officials in his administration who have sought to argue Trump was only calling for the temporary relocation of its population. Less than a week after he floated his plan for the U.S. to take control of Gaza and turn it in “the Riviera of the Middle East,” Trump said “No, they wouldn’t” when asked if Palestinians in Gaza would have a right to return to the territory. Trump made his comments in an interview with FOX News’ Bret Baier that was set to air on Monday.
