Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was all smiles as he visited the White House and met with President Trump in the Oval Office Tuesday afternoon, especially given Trump said many things in terms of the future of Gaza that the Israeli leader would welcome.
 Trump in an exchange with reporters while sitting next to 'Bibi' continued pressing the idea that Palestinians should be relocated out of Gaza.

"There's hardly a building standing, and the ones that are are going to collapse. You can't live in Gaza right now. And I think we need another location,"

Trump said, echoing prior comments.
 Trump stoked further controversy by claiming Palestinians would "love to leave" Gaza - comments which have already been condemned by many pundits as tantamount to an ethnic cleansing campaign. Arab leaders too have blasted any plan which would see a mass exodus or removal of Palestinians to neighboring countries.

"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too," Mr. Trump said. "We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings — level it out. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job. Do something different."
