President Donald Trump has not committed to putting U.S. troops on the ground in Gaza as part of his proposal for a U.S.-takeover of the Palestinian enclave, the White House said on Wednesday. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the president believes the United States needs to be involved in the rebuilding of Gaza "to ensure stability in the region.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States “will take over” the Gaza Strip — possibly with the help of American troops — while the Palestinians who live there should leave, a stunning proposal that would dramatically reorient the Middle East and subject a population of more than a million to further displacement.
