1
00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: In what note like damage control. The US Press Secretary

2
00:00:04,679 –> 00:00:08,199
Caroline Levitt on Wednesday held a press conference at the

3
00:00:08,199 –> 00:00:12,839
White House trying to clarify the statements her principled President

4
00:00:12,880 –> 00:00:15,400
Donald Trump met in the previous day that the United

5
00:00:15,480 –> 00:00:17,600
States will take over the ownership of the land and

6
00:00:17,640 –> 00:00:20,199
rebuild Gaza Stream for people all over the world to

7
00:00:20,239 –> 00:00:23,920
settle as economic center, with the Press secretary making apparent

8
00:00:24,000 –> 00:00:27,519
contradicting statements that Donald Trump only meant that Palestinians in

9
00:00:27,559 –> 00:00:31,199
Gaza would be transferred temporarily to Egypt, Jordan and other

10
00:00:31,239 –> 00:00:34,560
neighboring countries of humanitarian arts to enable the US rebuild

11
00:00:34,560 –> 00:00:37,920
the city before the return of the Palestinian citizens, adding

12
00:00:38,280 –> 00:00:40,399
the US will not pay for the rebuilding of the

13
00:00:40,439 –> 00:00:42,840
city in the Middle East that have been in conflict

14
00:00:42,960 –> 00:00:46,880
with Israel for decades. According to the White House Press

15
00:00:46,920 –> 00:00:52,359
Secretary Caroline Levitt, President Donald Trump has not committed to

16
00:00:52,399 –> 00:00:55,479
put in boats on the ground in Gaza and that

17
00:00:55,520 –> 00:00:59,320
the US would not pay to rebuild it. Caroline Levitz

18
00:00:59,320 –> 00:01:03,920
said presidents historic proposal for the United States to take

19
00:01:03,960 –> 00:01:07,840
over Gaza shows he is an outside of the box thinker,

20
00:01:08,640 –> 00:01:12,200
adding that insanity is doing the same thing over and

21
00:01:12,239 –> 00:01:17,359
over again and expecting different results. When asked by ABC

22
00:01:17,599 –> 00:01:22,920
News reporter Mary Bruce if President Trump would remove Palestinians

23
00:01:22,959 –> 00:01:27,040
from Gaza by force, Caroline Levitt said that Trump is

24
00:01:27,079 –> 00:01:30,719
prepelled to rebuild Gaza for Palestinians and all people in

25
00:01:30,760 –> 00:01:34,879
the region peace logon people who want real economic development.

26
00:01:35,680 –> 00:01:40,359
In a related development, the White House Press Secretary Caroline

27
00:01:40,439 –> 00:01:44,519
Levitt said that four hundred and sixty one illegal immigrants

28
00:01:44,560 –> 00:01:47,159
out of more than eight thousand that have been arrested

29
00:01:47,599 –> 00:01:50,959
have been released from federal custody for several reasons, including

30
00:01:51,040 –> 00:01:56,959
love of detentionional availability. Since Tuesday, US officials have continued

31
00:01:57,000 –> 00:02:00,879
to defend President Donald Trump’s plans that Pestinians in war

32
00:02:00,959 –> 00:02:05,760
shattered Gaza should relocate to neighboring countries, saying the President

33
00:02:05,959 –> 00:02:09,680
was trying to look at the problem realistically, not imposing

34
00:02:09,759 –> 00:02:13,960
a solution. Some of the officials stressed that the US

35
00:02:14,000 –> 00:02:17,080
wants to work with its Arab partners and Israel to

36
00:02:17,159 –> 00:02:21,439
come up with creative solutions to the challenge. Five Arab

37
00:02:21,520 –> 00:02:25,319
foreign ministers and the senior Palestinian officials sent a joint

38
00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:29,120
letter to US Secretary of State marcor Robio on Mounday,

39
00:02:29,560 –> 00:02:34,360
opposing plans to displace Palestinians from Gaza. According to local media,

40
00:02:35,199 –> 00:02:39,400
Trump said the US will be responsible for dismantling all

41
00:02:39,479 –> 00:02:43,159
of the dangeros on exploding bombs and other weapons on

42
00:02:43,240 –> 00:02:47,759
the site level, the destroyed buildings, and create economic development

43
00:02:47,919 –> 00:02:51,639
in the area. While asked who he in vigions living

44
00:02:51,759 –> 00:02:56,120
in Gaza after it is revealed, Trump said the world’s people,

45
00:02:56,439 –> 00:03:01,479
including Palestinians. Local media reported on Wednesday that the White

46
00:03:01,520 –> 00:03:04,919
House first backlash from uslamkers and allies who did not

47
00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:09,039
support the proposal, many saying Palestinians should be allowed to

48
00:03:09,080 –> 00:03:11,680
stay on their land and that it would make tensions

49
00:03:11,719 –> 00:03:16,039
in the region wars. The First Secretary, pet Hesherl told

50
00:03:16,120 –> 00:03:19,719
reporters before his own meeting with Leatanyahu that the President

51
00:03:20,000 –> 00:03:23,400
was willing to think outside the box look for new

52
00:03:23,439 –> 00:03:27,080
and unique, dynamic ways to solve problems that have felt

53
00:03:27,159 –> 00:03:32,199
like the way intractable we had. Earlier reported that on Tuesday,

54
00:03:32,639 –> 00:03:37,560
President Donald Trump of the United States US apparently passed

55
00:03:37,599 –> 00:03:41,439
across two interesting messages during the press conference held at

56
00:03:41,439 –> 00:03:45,759
the White House with the visiting Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Letan.

57
00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:48,840
Yahoo said at first that Gaza is a symbol of

58
00:03:48,919 –> 00:03:51,439
death and destruction, where the people who have been living

59
00:03:51,479 –> 00:03:54,599
in the Gaza strip were living in a miserable existence. Hence,

60
00:03:54,639 –> 00:03:57,039
once revealed, the people who have fought to keep the

61
00:03:57,080 –> 00:04:01,159
Gaza city shouldn’t occupy the players again calling on Egypt,

62
00:04:01,520 –> 00:04:05,879
Jordan and other countries of interests to build new doments

63
00:04:05,919 –> 00:04:08,879
on new settlements in the neighboring countries for the one

64
00:04:08,919 –> 00:04:12,439
point eight Median Palestinians that will be transferred out of Gaza,

65
00:04:12,479 –> 00:04:15,800
and by the constatements, Trump said, you as will take

66
00:04:15,840 –> 00:04:18,639
over the ownership of the land you built and met

67
00:04:18,680 –> 00:04:22,000
Gaza an economic center for people from different parts of

68
00:04:22,040 –> 00:04:25,879
the world, including Palestinians, to occupy on Gaza.

69
00:04:26,079 –> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: The President has spent basically his entire public career criticizing

70
00:04:30,480 –> 00:04:34,759
foreign entanglements, nation building, sending American troops to fight abroad,

71
00:04:35,040 –> 00:04:37,759
particularly in the Middle East. This plan seems like it

72
00:04:37,800 –> 00:04:41,800
could ultimately involve all of those things. Can you explain

73
00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:45,920
this reversal and how building and owning Gaza squares with

74
00:04:46,120 –> 00:04:48,000
America First foreign policy, I.

75
00:04:47,959 –> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: Would reject the premise of your question that this forces

76
00:04:51,720 –> 00:04:54,519
the United States to be entangled in conflicts abroad, the

77
00:04:54,560 –> 00:04:57,560
President has not committed to putting boots on the ground

78
00:04:57,600 –> 00:05:00,199
in Gaza. He has also said that the United States

79
00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:02,319
is not going to pay for the rebuilding of Gaza.

80
00:05:02,920 –> 00:05:05,879
His administration is going to work with our partners in

81
00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:09,600
the region to reconstruct this region. And let me just

82
00:05:09,639 –> 00:05:12,759
take a step back here, because this is an out

83
00:05:12,800 –> 00:05:15,560
of the box idea. That’s who President Trump is, That’s

84
00:05:15,560 –> 00:05:19,240
why the American people elected him, and his goal is

85
00:05:19,480 –> 00:05:23,199
lasting peace in the Middle East for all people in

86
00:05:23,240 –> 00:05:25,759
the region. And as I said in my opening remarks,

87
00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:29,199
we’ve had the same people pushing the same solutions to

88
00:05:29,360 –> 00:05:33,000
this problem for decades, and it’s been made very clear

89
00:05:33,040 –> 00:05:35,800
to the President that the United States needs to be

90
00:05:35,839 –> 00:05:40,399
revolved involved in this rebuilding effort to assure stability in

91
00:05:40,439 –> 00:05:42,399
the region for all people. But that does not mean

92
00:05:42,399 –> 00:05:44,600
boots on the ground in Gaza. It does not mean

93
00:05:44,639 –> 00:05:47,839
American taxpayers will be funding this effort. It means Donald Trump,

94
00:05:47,839 –> 00:05:50,079
who is the best deal maker on the planet, is

95
00:05:50,120 –> 00:05:52,120
going to strike a deal with our partners in the region.

96
00:05:52,639 –> 00:05:55,439
Speaker 2: He did not rule out American troops in Gaza last night.

97
00:05:55,480 –> 00:05:56,279
Are you doing that now?

98
00:05:56,560 –> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: I am saying that the President has not committed to

99
00:05:58,959 –> 00:06:01,240
that just yet, he has not made that commitment, and

100
00:06:01,279 –> 00:06:01,680
you know that.

101
00:06:01,720 –> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: And on the foreign partners, the Jordanians, the Egyptians, the

102
00:06:04,720 –> 00:06:08,639
Saudis have already panned this plan. What foreign partners, if any,

103
00:06:08,639 –> 00:06:10,199
have expressed any interest.

104
00:06:09,879 –> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: In being part of this.

105
00:06:10,639 –> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: Well, the President has said he’s been socialing this idea

106
00:06:13,079 –> 00:06:15,360
for quite some time. He’s been thinking about this, he

107
00:06:15,439 –> 00:06:17,879
said in his remarks last night. This was not a

108
00:06:17,920 –> 00:06:21,519
decision or an announcement that he takes lightly. And the

109
00:06:21,560 –> 00:06:25,040
President has already spoken to the President ALCSI. In fact,

110
00:06:25,079 –> 00:06:27,720
that was his first foreign leader call. He’s meeting with

111
00:06:28,000 –> 00:06:30,800
the King of Jordan, King Abdullah, next week. He spoke

112
00:06:30,839 –> 00:06:33,480
with the King of Bahrain, he spoke with the Crown

113
00:06:33,560 –> 00:06:36,360
Prince of Saudi Arabia, and he has made it very clear.

114
00:06:36,399 –> 00:06:39,480
He’s been very vocal that he expects our partners in

115
00:06:39,480 –> 00:06:43,800
the region, particularly Egypt and Jordan, to accept Palestinian refugees

116
00:06:43,920 –> 00:06:46,759
temporarily so that we can rebuild their home. I’d like

117
00:06:46,839 –> 00:06:50,079
to show you some images of Gaza that were taken

118
00:06:50,560 –> 00:06:53,000
Fox News, and this I mean that is, as they

119
00:06:53,079 –> 00:06:57,199
put it, in an apocalyptic scene in Gaza, this is

120
00:06:57,279 –> 00:07:01,319
an unhabitable place. For human beings. Do you really think

121
00:07:01,399 –> 00:07:05,199
that that families can live their dream in a region

122
00:07:05,240 –> 00:07:08,519
that looks like this with no running water, no electricity.

123
00:07:08,839 –> 00:07:11,639
And the Special Envoy to the President, Steve Whitcoff, recently

124
00:07:11,680 –> 00:07:14,040
traveled to Gaza, as you all know, and he came

125
00:07:14,079 –> 00:07:16,560
back with images that he showed the President of the

126
00:07:16,560 –> 00:07:20,720
dire situation here. And the President made this decision with

127
00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:23,680
a humanitarian heart for all people in the region.

128
00:07:24,759 –> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: The President and you here again today have made They’re

129
00:07:27,279 –> 00:07:29,959
given the devastation. You think Palestinians have no choice but

130
00:07:30,120 –> 00:07:33,319
to leave Gaza and go elsewhere, But Palestinians say this

131
00:07:33,360 –> 00:07:33,720
is their home.

132
00:07:33,759 –> 00:07:34,439
Speaker 2: They don’t want to go.

133
00:07:35,040 –> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: The President last night said he’s willing to use the

134
00:07:37,360 –> 00:07:41,279
military if necessary. Is the US prepared to remove Palestinians

135
00:07:41,319 –> 00:07:42,680
from Gaza by force?

136
00:07:43,240 –> 00:07:46,639
Speaker 3: The President is prepared to rebuild Gaza for Palestinians and

137
00:07:46,759 –> 00:07:50,240
all people in the region, peace loving people who want

138
00:07:50,279 –> 00:07:54,160
real economic development and opportunity in the region. This is

139
00:07:54,199 –> 00:07:57,879
a region that has been controlled by Iranian back terrorists Hamas,

140
00:07:58,120 –> 00:08:01,399
who have brutalized not just is Ra, but Palestinians too.

141
00:08:01,639 –> 00:08:04,120
It is because of Hamas that you see those images

142
00:08:04,160 –> 00:08:07,720
on that screen that Gaza has become a demolition site

143
00:08:07,720 –> 00:08:10,879
because Hamas launched that brutal attack on Israel on October

144
00:08:10,920 –> 00:08:14,040
the seventh, and so again I would stress President Trump

145
00:08:14,040 –> 00:08:16,639
wants to ensure that this can be a place where

146
00:08:16,680 –> 00:08:20,079
all people can live in peace. He is a peacemaker

147
00:08:20,120 –> 00:08:22,920
in chief. He made that very clear in his first term.

148
00:08:23,199 –> 00:08:25,920
And as for how that will be accomplished, the President

149
00:08:25,959 –> 00:08:27,959
and his team are talking with our allies in the

150
00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:29,800
region to consider next steps.

151
00:08:29,879 –> 00:08:32,279
Speaker 4: What should the American people be prepared to see US

152
00:08:32,320 –> 00:08:35,120
military on the ground fighting a ground war against Hamas.

153
00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:37,879
Speaker 3: Again, the President has not committed to US troops in

154
00:08:37,919 –> 00:08:40,320
the region, but it is an option. I have said

155
00:08:40,360 –> 00:08:46,960
that the President has not committed to that yet
