World reacts to Trump's plans to 'take over' Gaza

US President Donald Trump's announcement that the US will "take over" Gaza has sparked confused and angry reactions across the globe. 

On Tuesday, at a joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said that the US is looking into running Gaza for the foreseeable future and to displace Palestinians from their homeland.

“Everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. 

Earlier in the day he insisted that Palestinians have no other alternative but to leave Gaza and go somewhere “good, fresh, beautiful” without the prospect of returning, and again called on Jordan and Egypt to take in the forcibly expelled Palestinians, along with other unnamed countries. 

Hamas has rejected Trump's surprise plans on Gaza, calling it "racist" and focused at eliminating the Palestinian cause.
