U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he wants the people of Gaza to be safe. He even remarked that the residents of Gaza have gone through hell.According to a report by Anadolu Agency on Friday (July 4), President Trump made these comments in a speech on Thursday, saying he wants the people of Gaza to be safe. Speaking to reporters, he said:> “I want the people of Gaza to be safe. That’s the most important thing. They have really gone through hell.”A journalist had asked him whether he still wanted the United States to take control of Gaza. In response, Trump made these remarks.Earlier, in February this year, Trump first proposed that the U.S. take control of Gaza, which sparked widespread criticism around the world. Yet over the past three months, he has repeatedly raised this proposal.Earlier this week, Trump said,> “I hope there will be a ceasefire in Gaza by next week.”He also announced that next week he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington to discuss the issues of Gaza and Iran.Background ContextSince October 2023, Israel has been carrying out large-scale military operations in the Gaza Strip under the pretext of “crackdowns.” Part of the international community has described these operations as “genocide.”Continuous Israeli attacks have killed more than 57,100 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children.
