During a Fox News interview, Netanyahu \u200ccalled it &#8220;the first good idea&#8221; he had heard regarding Gaza, urging for it to \u2064be pursued\u2063 as a means to create a better future. Trump&#8217;s plan involves the\u2064 United States \u200cassuming control of the\u200b 140-square-mile\u200b territory and\u200b perhaps relocating up to two million Palestinians to neighboring countries, which has\u2064 drawn \u200ccriticism\u2063 and backlash from Palestinians and their leaders.Concerns have \u2064also been raised about the impact of such relocations on the ongoing ceasefire and\u200d hostage\u2063 agreements. Netanyahu further commended trump&#8217;s broader impact on Middle Eastern politics, particularly in relation to countering Iranian \u200caggression.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Netanyahu applauds Trump plan to rebuild Gaza: &lsquo;First good idea I&rsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mark-robinsons-wife-reacts-after-bombshell-allegations-forget-what-youve-heard-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Mark Robinson\u2019s wife reacts after bombshell allegations: \u2018Forget what you\u2019ve ...\u2019 - Washington Examiner\">ve heard&#038;rsquo<\/a>;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1976718\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> praised President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> on Wednesday for his plan to take over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Gaza Strip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;This is the first good idea that I&rsquo;ve heard,&rdquo; Netanyahu said during a Fox News interview with&nbsp;Sean Hannity. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a remarkable idea, and I think it should be really pursued, examined, and done because I think it will create a different future for everyone.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday night, Trump proposed that the United States take over the Gaza Strip in an effort to rebuild it.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and do a job with it too.
