Texas Democrat Rep. Al Green said Wednesday he's introducing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump in response for his plans for the United States' to take over the Gaza Strip and relocate the region's Palestinian residents. 

."The movement to impeach the president has begun," Green said on the House floor. "I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done."

During a Tuesday press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the U.S. would take over the Gaza Strip and be responsible for clearing all of the unexploded ordinances. 

The Gaza Strip has been largely devastated by Israel's war with the Palestinian-backed terrorist organization Hamas that controls Gaza. 

Trump in the past has called for Palestinians to leave Gaza and go to neighboring countries, later adding that if the U.S. took over Gaza it could lead to long term peace in the Middle East, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"To whom it may concern, ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke," Green said. "Especially when it emanates from the president of the United States – the most powerful man in the world."
