(MENAFN) US President Donald trump said on Sunday that he is committed to purchasing Gaza and allowing other nations to develop parts of the region.

"I'm committed to buying and owning Gaza," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while traveling to New Orleans, Louisiana.

He emphasized that the Palestinian enclave is in dire condition, describing it as a demolition site and uninhabitable.

"They're very unsafe. But we'll make it into a very good site for future development by somebody. We'll let other countries develop parts of it. It'll be beautiful. People can come from all over the world that live there, but we're going to take care of the Palestinians. We're going to make sure they live beautifully and in harmony and in peace, and that they're not murdered. This has been the most dangerous site anywhere in the world to live in," Trump stated.

When asked if he would accept Palestinian refugees into the United States, Trump responded, "I'd have to look."

"I think it's a very far distance for them to travel, but I'd have to look at individual cases. But I do think that coming into the United States, we're taking a lot of people, but coming into the United States, it's a long way for them to travel."
