Benjamin Netanyahu praises Donald Trump's ‘remarkable’ Gaza Strip takeover plan, ‘The first good idea that I’ve heard’

There may not be a method behind the madness.”

Addressing Mr Trump’s comments that sparked a fierce global backlash, Anthony Scaramucci said

We don't have time to do the blame again,

McGovern told the Washington Examiner

I think we all knew where Trump was on that issue,

Peters said

We're focused on the future here,

said House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA).

Palestinians aren’t going anywhere,

Tlaib wrote in an X post

We intend to commit to do that. I won't talk here how we intend to do it, but it's something that is in my mind and also on the president's mind."

He emphasized the government's intention to retrieve both living and deceased hostages, saying

So far, we've freed about 70 percent, more than that actually, of the living hostages, and we're committed to getting everyone out."

Netanyahu also noted

This is the first good idea that I’ve heard. It’s a remarkable idea and I think it should be really pursued, examined, pursued, and done because I think it will create a different future for everyone,

Netanyahu said of Trump’s plan for the future of Gaza, in an interview on Fox News Wednesday

The actual idea of allowing first Gazans who want to leave to leave, I mean, what is wrong with that

he said

This is our land, and we are the honest and true owners,

Amir Karaja, a resident of northern Gaza told CNN on Wednesday

I have instructed the IDF to prepare a plan to enable the voluntary departure of Gaza residents,

Katz said, according to a spokesperson

We assess that Hamas has recruited almost as many new militants as it has lost. That is a recipe for an enduring insurgency and perpetual war,

he said

There’s no running water. There is no electricity. The president wants these individuals to live in peace,

Leavitt said from the briefing room podium

So far, we've decimated most of Hamas' military power , not all. There's some left, and we'll make sure that it's not there when this war ends, and it could end very quickly,

Netanyahu told Fox News host Sean Hannity

I mean, what's wrong with that? They can leave, they can then come back, they can relocate and come back. But you have to rebuild Gaza."

He added

We came very close to dying, but we survived with the grace of God,

Gazan resident Moeen Mohsen told CBS News reporters in Gaza

We’ll do what is necessary.”

When asked whether he’d deploy U.S. troops to transform the 140-square-mile Palestinian territory, Trump said

Trump's entry into the White House gives enormous, I’d say, backing to those who wish to see Iran's aggression rolled back, Iran never having a nuclear weapon, and that affects the entire region,

Netanyahu said on Hannity

It is the buildings that could tip over at any moment,

Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy who recently visited Gaza, told reporters on Tuesday

Harris left a vacuum by not visiting Michigan families impacted by U.S.-supplied bombs to help create a permission structure for their trust while Trump visited Dearborn and filled a community in despair with lies,
