Trump's declaration earlier this week that the U.S. will "take over" the Gaza Strip is landing with a thud with some Republicans on Capitol Hill. Why it matters: GOP dissent against Trump is exceedingly rare, but some Republicans are reeling at what they see as a particularly outlandish proposal from their party's leader.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday there was nothing wrong in Donald Trump's idea of displacing Palestinians from Gaza after the U.S. president's proposal drew international criticism.
