Conservative media figure Ben Shapiro delivered a speech at the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025. During his speech, Shapiro said that Trump's idea for the United States to take over Gaza as part of a deal between Palestine and Israel "is breaking people's brains."
"It turns out that a two-state solution in which one of those states is actually run by those people is a really bad idea," Shapiro said. "President Trump knows that."
