Americans have taken to the streets in Washington, D.C., protesting President Donald Trump’s scheme to take "long-term ownership" of the Gaza Strip in Palestine.
“Gaza Strip is not for sale,” the protesters shouted on the city’s streets on Wednesday, Press TV reported.
Speaking at the White House on Tuesday alongside Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump had claimed that the US would oversee the clearing up of destroyed buildings, removing of unexploded ordnance, and “resettling” of Palestinians elsewhere.
"The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it," he had purported.
Trump’s announcement came after Israel failed to realize its objective of forcing Gaza’s entire population to leave for neighbouring Egypt, despite taking the coastal sliver under a war of genocide for over 15 months, during which the regime killed way upwards of 61,000 Palestinians.
