00:00The humanitarian situation in Gaza is one of the most dire in our generation,
00:04with some estimates outlining that from starvation alone, at least 60,000 people
00:09have died in the last year. Donald Trump has often touted that he would solve the
00:13situation in the Middle East, and now we might finally know what that would include,
00:17at least from a real estate perspective. Recently during a phone interview on conservative radio
00:22show Hugh Hewitt, he was asked whether Gaza could be developed. Trump responded by saying
00:27that even before the October 7th attack and the clapback from Israel, Palestinians underutilized
00:33their oceanfront, making a remark about the back of a factory facing the ocean, then adding this.
00:39They'd have, there was no ocean as far as that was concerned. They never took advantage of it,
00:45you know, as a developer. It could be the most beautiful place, the weather, the water,
00:51the whole thing, the climate, it could be so beautiful. And Trump isn't the only one in his
00:57family to believe that Gaza has great waterfront property. His son-in-law Jared Kushner told
01:02interviewers previously, quote, Gaza's waterfront property could be very valuable, adding, it's a
01:07little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but from Israel's perspective, I would do my
01:11best to move the people out and then clean it up. Since Israel began its bombardment last year,
01:17some 41,788 people, mostly women and children, have been killed in Gaza.
