U.S. President Donald Trump has adamantly claimed that his unexpected proposition for American control over the Gaza Strip has been met with widespread approval—despite overwhelming criticism from Palestinian authorities, regional leaders, and international governments.
Speaking from the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump confidently asserted, “Everybody loves it,” when pressed by reporters regarding the global reaction to his controversial suggestion. However, he quickly curtailed further inquiries, stating that the moment was “not the right time” for additional discussions, as he was presiding over the swearing-in ceremony of newly appointed U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The former president’s remarks come amidst an outpouring of condemnation, with stakeholders across the geopolitical spectrum rejecting the notion of U.S. administration over the embattled enclave.
