US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy said Tuesday it was "preposterous" to believe that Gaza could be made habitable for Palestinians within five years after the “Israeli” aggression on the Gaza Strip.

"It is unfair to have explained to Palestinians that they might be back in five years. That's just preposterous," Steve Witkoff told reporters outside the White House on Tuesday.

Asked about Trump's previous suggestion to "clean out" Palestinians from Gaza, Witkoff said: "When the president talks about ‘cleaning it out,’ he talks about making it habitable."
