10:09Now PlayingFormer Chief Spokesperson for UNWRA, Chris Gunness, gives Lewis Goodall his damning analysis of Donald Trump’s plans to ‘take over Gaza’ and own it ‘long term’ with Palestinians resettled.
Gunness says if the president’s vision goes ahead, it would be ‘disastrous for the international order’.
US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that "the Gaza thing has never worked" and said the US could 'take over' the region as he hosted Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.
During the visit, Trump, alongside top advisers, made the case that a three-to-five-year timeline for reconstruction of the war-torn territory, was not a viable option.
"The Gaza thing has never worked," Mr Trump told reporters from the Oval Office.
He added that together, the US and Israeli would return "peace" and "prosperity" to the region going forward and proposed a US-owned land where Palestinians could live "peacefully".
"Everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs," he said.
It would be the "Riviera of the Middle East".
