Palestinians, their allies and other nations are reacting strongly to President Donald Trump’s proposal that the United States “take over” the Gaza Strip and permanently resettle its residents.

Norman Roule, formerly a national intelligence manager for Iran, outlined his perspective following President Trump’s recent proposal about the U.S. “ owning Gaza .” During an appearance on NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” the Middle East expert said he believes there are “positive” elements to Trump’s idea.

The region has become a hot spot for the family’s business. Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, noted last year that “Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable.”
