Gaza:
Trump says he doesn’t support building Jewish settlements in Gaza

At the Oval Office alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump says he does not support building Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip, a step further from his answer earlier today that he “doesn’t necessarily” back such a move.

He tells reporters:
1. I don’t see it happening
2. It’s too dangerous for people
3. No one wants to be there
4. Their warriors don’t want to be there
5. Their soldiers don’t want to be there

While Netanyahu himself early in the war called the prospect of resettling Gaza “unrealistic,” some of his far-right coalition partners have called for taking the step.

West Bank:
Asked if he backs Israel annexing West Bank, Trump says he’ll likely make announcement in next 4 weeks
