President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that any decision on whether Israel should re-occupy the Gaza Strip is "pretty much up to Israel," declining to state a personal position on the matter. Speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized that he would not dictate Israeli policy regarding the territory. The comment comes amid ongoing debate within Israel over potential military and administrative control of Gaza. Trump’s remark signals Washington’s willingness, at least from the White House, to defer to Israel on a move that would carry significant regional and diplomatic implications.
