US President Donald Trump believes the ‘same tired ideas’ cannot be repeated in Gaza, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in Jerusalem, during his first visit to the Middle East in the role.

“The president’s also been very bold about his view of what the future for Gaza should be, not the same tired ideas of the past, but something that’s bold and something that, frankly, took courage and vision […] what cannot continue is the same cycle,” Rubio said according to AFP, referring to Trump’s plan for US control of the Palestinian territory and to displace its population.
