Trump says US should 'take' Gaza and turn it into 'freedom zone'

The US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he wanted the United States to "take" Gaza and turn it into a "freedom zone", as Israel's war on the Palestinian territory rages on.

"I have concepts for Gaza that I think are very good - make it a freedom zone, let the United States get involved and make it just a freedom zone," the US leader said in Qatar, adding: "I'd be proud to have the United States have it, take it, make it a freedom zone."
