The White House clarifies that President Trump only wants to temporarily remove Palestinians from Gaza in order to rebuild their homes, not permanently relocate them. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasizes that the goal is to ensure that people do not have to live in dire conditions in the demolished area. She also states that the US is not planning to send troops to Gaza and that American taxpayers will not be funding the rebuilding effort. However, Leavitt avoids directly answering whether Palestinians will be moved by force if they refuse to leave.
