Summary

Experts warn that Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to “take over” Gaza is fueling jihadist propaganda and could inspire terrorist attacks.

Security analysts say extremist groups will use his remarks to recruit, portraying the U.S. as an occupying force.

Critics, including Sen. Chris Murphy, argue Trump’s rhetoric directly aids terrorist recruitment.

Despite global backlash, Trump has defended his stance.

Former officials warn that, combined with recent cuts to intelligence agencies, these statements heighten the risk of terrorism targeting Americans at home and abroad.

      Yes, but Al Qaeda’s main immediate focus is on expelling the West (mostly the US) from the Islamic world. In a way they’re revolutionaries while ISIS is an army.

        No? Their goal is the caliphate which is why they were actively fighting Islamic nation’s militaries. The USA out if KSA is part of that goal because the US military would stop them much more teadily than the Saudi army would.
