<h1>Territorial takeover proposal: US to assume ownership and rebuild Gaza, with long-term presence and unclear residency rules.</h1> President Trump proposed that the United States take over and own the Gaza Strip, clear unexploded ordnance and rubble, rebuild and develop the area to create jobs and housing, and maintain a long-term ownership presence while suggesting US forces would act as necessary; he offered no details on governance, legal authority, residency criteria, or the territory's legal status.
