US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at the White House, discussing the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Trump proposed the permanent resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, stating that the coastal strip is not a suitable place for people to live. Netanyahu, who is expected to face pressure from the Biden administration, may have differing policy goals for the Middle East. The meeting comes at a critical juncture in the region, with fragile ceasefires in place and ongoing mediation efforts between Israel and Hamas.

1. I will speak to Xi at the appropriate time.
2. You can't live in Gaza right now, and I think we need another location.
3. The horrors of October 7 would never have happened if I were president.
4. I think it's worth paying attention to this. We're talking about it. He's exploring it with his people, with his staff. I think it's something that could change history, and it's worthwhile really pursuing this avenue.
5. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs.
6. President Trump has shown, and not for the first time, that he is a true friend of Israel and will continue to stand by it on issues important to strengthening its security. In his remarks, he presented creative, original and interesting thinking, which must be examined alongside the realization of the goals of the war, giving priority to the return of all the hostages.

1. I can confirm that the president is committed to rebuilding Gaza and to temporarily relocating those who are there because... it is a demolition site.
Mike Johnson
Republican Party
1. We are hopeful this brings much needed stability and security to the region.
2. Why? Because that area is so dangerous, and he's taking bold, decisive action to try to secure the peace of that region.
European Union
1. Gaza is an integral part of a future Palestinian state.
Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti
1. If Egypt or Jordan or both decide to challenge America, Yemen will stand with all its strength by its side, to the furthest extent and without red lines.
Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs
1. Saudi Arabia will continue its relentless efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israeli Government
1. I support getting all the hostages out and meeting all our war goals. That includes destroying Hamas' military and governing capabilities, and making sure that Gaza never poses a threat to Israel again. All three.
2. He sees a different future for that piece of land that has been the focus of so much terrorism, so many attacks against us, so many trials and so many tribulations.
3. I think peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not only feasible, I think it's going to happen.
4. They can leave, they can then come back, they can relocate and come back, but you have to rebuild Gaza.
5. Get the population out, allow them to leave. Not forcible eviction, not ethnic cleansing – getting people out of what all these countries and all these do-gooders say is an open-air prison. Why are you keeping them in prison?
6. President Trump came with a completely different vision, much better for the State of Israel, a revolutionary and creative vision, which we are discussing. He is very determined to carry it out. This also opens many possibilities before us.
Steven Witkoff
US State Department
1. It is buildings that could tip over at any moment. There's no utilities there whatsoever, no working water, electric, gas, nothing. God knows what kind of disease might be festering there. So when the president talks about cleaning it out, he talks about making it habitable.
