Palestinians would have no right of return to Gaza under takeover plan; Trump

President Donald Trump has said Palestinians would have no right of return to Gaza under his takeover plan, almost a week after first suggesting the US should “own” the enclave.
Under the plans, Palestinians “wouldn’t” have the right to return to the territory, he tells Fox News.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is due to meet Egypt’s foreign minister in Washington DC on Monday.
It comes as Trump says he will impose a 25% import tax on all steel and aluminium entering the US.
Trump has explicitly said that he believes Jordan could play a role housing Gazans, and suggested that US aid could be used to negotiate a “deal”.
The president also says he’s planning to impose “reciprocal tariffs” on countries currently taxing US imports – but did not specify which nations would be targeted, or if there would be any exemptions.
Trump has said he is “committed to buying and owning” the Gaza Strip and relocating the two million Palestinians who live there – but how does he see this playing out?

Although the US would own Gaza under Trump’s plan, he says he may recruit other states in the Middle East to rebuild it.
The BBC’s international editor, Jeremy Bowen, says it “is not going to happen” and suggests Trump could be using this claim to appease the Israelis in a broader nuclear weapons peace deal with Iran.
