Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that all options are on the table regarding President Donald Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to potentially take over the Gaza Strip. Trump suggested that the U.S. Could “own” Gaza and be responsible for dismantling dangerous weapons there.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the enduring alliance between Israel and the U.S. during his visit to the Pentagon. Hegseth highlighted the need for innovative solutions to the Gaza situation, aligning with both Trump’s and Netanyahu’s perspectives.
