Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) has introduced Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump following his proposal that the United States could take control of the Gaza Strip to secure peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Green characterized Trump’s comments as advocating “ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”
“The movement to impeach the president has begun,” Green declared on the House floor. “I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”
Trump’s Proposal: U.S. Control of Gaza
Trump, speaking at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday evening, suggested that the U.S. could take over Gaza to help stabilize the region.
“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too,” Trump said. “We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexplored bombs and other weapons on the site.”
The former president outlined a vision for Gaza’s redevelopment, arguing that a full-scale reconstruction effort led by the U.S. would provide jobs and housing for residents.
“Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area,” Trump said. “Do a real job. Do something different. Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for 100 years.”
When pressed on whether the U.S. should maintain long-term control of Gaza, Trump suggested it was a possibility.
“I could see us in a long-term ownership position,” he said, arguing that such an approach would create lasting regional stability.
Netanyahu’s Response
Netanyahu, when asked about the proposal, reiterated his three key objectives regarding Gaza, one of which is ensuring the territory “never poses a threat to Israel again.”
“President Trump is taking it to a much higher level,” Netanyahu said. “He sees a different future for that piece of land that has been the focus of so much terrorism, so many attacks against us, so many trials and so many tribulations. He has a different idea, and I think it’s worth paying attention to.”
Fallout and Reactions
Trump’s comments come as Gaza remains in ruins after months of Israeli airstrikes and ground operations targeting Hamas following the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel. That assault left more than 1,200 Israeli civilians dead, with Hamas taking 250 people hostage. The ongoing war has reportedly resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of both terrorists and civilians in the densely populated Palestinian territory.
Trump described Gaza as “a symbol of death and destruction for so many decades.”
“It should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have really stood there and fought for it and lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there,” he said.
Conservative Concerns Over “Nation Building”
Many America First conservatives and libertarian-leaning Republicans voiced concerns over Trump’s proposal, likening it to the nation-building policies pursued in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Despite Green’s push for impeachment, legal experts note that remarks at a press conference do not constitute an impeachable offense.

Al Green? You mean the same Al Green who looks like he wouldn’t even qualify to pick cotton in his home State? That “Al Green”? He’s a thug of the first order and belongs anywhere other than Washington, DC.
Not actually be a person to own it what this means; it’s the USA to just take over to settle down mess and turn it to peace as how they mean to own it till territory becomes peace. Withheld or not permitting this move for peace to overcome by Al Green proposing impeachment will jeopardize peace and impeaching will continue same war that had been goin on since.
Al Green, question is : Do you want peace or impeachment??
Seems there is more to this impeachment , you are using this because maybe your name is on the DOJ s list FBI is trying to sue to prevent to be in public as welll
As others being on the list may be more of your colleagues.
So is this about peace in Gaza or impeachment to secure the list of names that may never be in public which is the right for American people to know.
