Trump Claims Gaza Visit, Suggests It Could Be Better Than Monaco

Oct 8, 2024, 02:30 AM

Former President Donald Trump, in a radio interview on Monday with Hugh Hewitt, claimed he had visited Gaza and suggested that the region could be developed to be 'better than Monaco' due to its prime coastline. However, there is no record of Trump visiting Gaza. An aide later clarified that Trump had visited Israel and implied that this included Gaza, a statement that has been met with skepticism. Trump also suggested that Israeli developers could transform Gaza into a beautiful place, criticizing Palestinians for not doing a good job. These remarks have sparked controversy and raised questions about the accuracy of Trump's claims and his understanding of the region's geography. The New York Times reported that Jared Kushner had expressed interest in buying Gaza’s waterfront property earlier this year.
