Netanyahu said he spoke with Rubio about Trump’s “bold vision” for Gaza’s future, and how to make it become a reality.
Earlier this month, Trump said the U.S. would take over the Gaza Strip and turn it into a riviera. Under the U.S. president’s plan, the population would be transferred to neighboring countries. Arab countries have already voiced their opposition to the proposal.
For Rubio, this idea took “courage and vision,” he said during the press conference. “It may have shocked and surprised many, but what cannot continue is the same cycle.”
Rubio and Netanyahu also said they discussed the situation in Iran, Syria and Lebanon.
