WASHINGTON – The White House announced Wednesday that the US involvement in rebuilding Gaza does not imply a commitment to sending troops there or using taxes to fund the effort. I did.
White House press chief Karoline Leavitt asked questions from senior White House correspondent Garrett Heike at NBC News early in the briefing after President Donald Trump said the US would “take over the Gaza Strip” on Tuesday. I submitted it. Trump also said his vision includes moving Gazan to nearby Arab countries.
Harki suggested that Trump's vision could involve boots and “national construction” on the ground.
“This rejects the premise of your question that it forces the US to get caught up in foreign conflicts,” Levitt said. “The president has not committed to putting his boots on the ground in Gaza. He also says that the US is not going to pay for the rebuilding of Gaza.”
She added that the administration will work with Middle Eastern allies “to rebuild the region.” Leavitt also emphasized that although it may be a “ready-to-use idea,” Americans chose Trump because they think outside the box.
“And this is a boxless idea right away, so let's take a step back here. That's who President Trump is,” she said. “That's why the Americans chose him. His goal is peace in the Middle East for all people in the region.”
Leavitt added that American involvement means the president will use his contractual skills.
In response to follow-up questions, she said the president was in the region's hope that “egypt and Jordan in particular” would “invite temporarily to accept Palestinian refugees and allow us to rebuild their homes.” He said he spoke to the leader.
According to Leavitt, Trump has been pondering the plan for a while.
