Trump first unveiled his Gaza proposal on Tuesday night, suggesting that the US take a "long-term ownership position."
On Thursday morning, the US president spoke at two prayer events in Washington DC. Though he did not mention his Gaza plan, he emphasised his desire to be seen as a "peacemaker and a unifier."
