Trump's remarks on Gaza draw wide criticism in Europe

U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks on Tuesday regarding the Gaza Strip have drawn wide criticism in Europe, with European officials and experts underscoring the importance of the two-state solution. 

Trump said on Tuesday that the United States will take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are relocated elsewhere. He made the remarks in a joint press conference with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, without providing details about how to conduct a resettlement procedure.

Trump insisted Wednesday that "everybody loves" his shock proposal for the United States to take over the Gaza Strip.
