Trump Plans to Own the Gaza Strip - Observer News Group

The reaction is swift to the new redevelopment plan by President Donald Trump to level the Gaza Strip as the United States is expected to take it over and occupy the land. Jamal Bryant, Sr. Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Georgia told Black Press USA, “This is a dark moment for humanity! The light in the holy land has blown out with the decisions of the Trump administration.” Bryant emphatically stated, “We are effectively co-signing a genocide, and people around the world should be morally outraged.” During the joint Press Conference with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last night, Trump expressed that he wants to turn this valuable property, the Gaza Strip, into “the Riviera of the Middle East”.
