German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the US could take ownership of the Gaza Strip, relocate its population and redevelop it as a “scandal”.

His main challenger in a pre-election debate on Sunday also voiced unease but suggested there’s “a lot of rhetoric” coming from Washington.
