How crazy is Donald Trump’s plan to take over Gaza?

Donald Trump has reiterated his plan for a US "takeover" of Gaza. Trump's plan - first announced on Tuesday night - was rejected by Palestinians and leaders around the world on Wednesday, but he has taken to Truth Social to say that if Gaza was turned over to the US by Gaza then they “would actually have a chance to be happy, safe and free”. Meanwhile, Israeli Minister Israel Katz has said countries, including Ireland, should be obligated to take refugees affected. Jerry McDermott is Executive Director at the Irish Cultural Centre and former Sheriff of Norfolk County in Massachusetts, and joins Kieran to discuss.
