During an appearance on Fox Business, Rep. Byron Donalds addressed President Trump's controversial suggestion of U.S. occupation of the Gaza Strip. He expressed skepticism about the viability of a two-state solution, arguing that current Palestinian leadership is ineffective. Donalds interpreted Trump's idea as a call for U.S. leadership in reconstruction efforts in Gaza in cooperation with Israel and regional allies. He emphasized the need for security and sound governance to enable an environment conducive to peace and development for Palestinians, particularly children, asserting that the focus should be on eliminating terrorist influences in the area.
"The two-state solution has been something that they always talk about at the U.N. or any model UN class in any high school in America. But it is not functionally possible."
"What President Trump is talking about is working with Israel and other allies in the region to clean Gaza up under U.S. leadership, not direct U.S. decision making."
