Obviously very few watched the entire interview, I suggest you do this as the title of this string is not accurate. The portion of the interview the reporters were talking about his went very differently. When asked about the Palestinians returning to Gaza he said he did not believe anyone could live there. There is no water or electricity and most buildings were rubble. Those that were not rubble were on the verge of collapsing. The entire area was full of mines, IED's, booby traps and tunnels everywhere.. Not a place fit for any human. It would take a good 2 years to clear the area Where/just how were they going to live in the meantime? Hamas returning is not an option as all this would just happen again. That was nuts.

He began floating ideas. First one was find some land in Egypt, Jordan or other "brethren" and build some nice houses for them. Not with US or Israeli funds, with the funds donated by their buddies. Why would they rather live in the hell hole Gaza had become instead of that. They deserved better. He did say the Palestinians could have made the area into quite a nice resort like place when they first got there.

He did joke he could pull it off, but that was clearly a joke to any watching. He did not say the Israelis would move in either and he was asked that directly. All in all he was throwing out ideas not pushing for really anything.

Go read or watch it before you get all worked up.
