This was stated in an interview with Fox News channel by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"I don't think he (US President Donald Trump) talked about sending American troops to carry out the task of destroying Hamas. This is our commitment. This is our job, and we are completely dedicated to it," he said.
"And I also don't think he said he was going to finance it. He said that neighboring countries, rich states, would do it," Netanyahu added.
"But the real idea is to allow Gazans who wish to leave to be able to do so. I mean, what's wrong with that? They can leave, then come back, move and come back. But you need to rebuild Gaza," the Israeli prime minister pointed out.
On February 4, at a joint press conference with Netanyahu after talks at the White House, Trump announced US plans to "take over the Gaza Strip" and turn the territory into a "Middle Eastern Riviera." The American leader also called for the resettlement of Palestinians from the enclave to other countries in the region and declared the readiness of the United States to send troops to the Gaza Strip. tass.ru.
