President Trump\u2019s proposal to take over Gaza<\/a> would have to overcome or ignore many serious obstacles, including that forcibly removing its entire population would be a violation of international law.<\/p>\n

But aside from legal challenges, there is the hard fact that unexploded munitions litter the territory after months of Israeli bombardment, posing a lethal danger to anyone in Gaza for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

In his remarks unveiling the idea last week<\/a>, Mr. Trump suggested that he had thought about it. \u201cWe\u2019ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The president has said he might send the military to Gaza as an occupation force, but federal law prohibits U.S. troops from doing demining missions<\/a>. Instead, that work falls to the State Department, which provides funding to nongovernmental organizations<\/a> to do the job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
