Former President Donald Trump claimed in an interview with Hugh Hewitt that he had visited Gaza, but this was met with skepticism due to the lack of records of such a visit. Made on the anniversary of a deadly Hamas attack on Israel, Trump's comments suggested that Gaza could become a tourist destination better than Monaco if reconstructed. He inaccurately stated that 'Gaza is in Israel,' a claim corrected by media outlets, which sparked criticism and debate over his understanding of Middle Eastern geography. Despite the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis, Trump described Gaza as having the best location and resources in the Middle East. His remarks raised questions about the potential implications for his foreign policy if re-elected, and highlighted his past views on the Middle East, particularly Gaza's potential if peace were achieved.
