Hurts to face what you helped bring about by promoting Trump, isn't it? Where's the peace now?
And, no. I changed it since there are no political threads anymore. I'm just posting the news without comment or discourse. People can read it or not.

What to know about Trump’s Gaza Strip proposal
WASHINGTON, Feb 5 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's plan for the United States to "take over" Gaza, permanently displacing Palestinians who live there and creating the "Riviera of the Middle East," has upset Arab nations and Western allies and would overturn decades of American policy in the region.
WHAT DID TRUMP SUGGEST?
At a news conference on Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, Trump said he wanted to demolish the remaining structures in Gaza and transform the territory under U.S. "ownership."
He proposed transforming the seaside enclave into a resort that would draw people from around the globe and resettling Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan.
"You'll make that into an international, unbelievable place. I think the potential and the Gaza Strip is unbelievable,” Trump said. “And I think the entire world, representatives from all over the world, will be there, and they'll live there. Palestinians also, Palestinians will live there. Many people will live there."
