US senator slams Trump over Gaza ‘invasion’ remarks

US Senator Chris Murphy has criticised Donald Trump’s claim that the US could take control of Gaza, calling the former president’s remarks "completely unhinged."

Posting on X, the Connecticut Democrat dismissed Trump’s suggestion, stating, “We aren’t taking over Gaza.”

In a follow-up post, he warned that such an action would result in "the slaughter of thousands of US troops and decades of war in the Middle East," adding, “It’s like a bad, sick joke.”

Murphy accused Trump of using the controversy to divert attention from "the real story – billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people."
