President Donald Trump said Palestinians will not have the right to return to their homes in the Gaza Strip under his proposal for U.S. ownership of the territory in a Fox News interview, describing Gaza as "a beautiful piece of land" and "a future real estate development."

The president met with the Israeli prime minister at the White House, meeting in person with another world leader for the first time since returning to power.

We’re going to take it, we’re going to hold it,” Donald Trump told reporters, in reference to Gaza, failing to explain how this is supposed to happen.

His pushback came after President Trump insisted Tuesday that the United States has the authority to “take” Gaza.
