Trump Wants Palestinians Expelled.
• Trump says US will “take over” Gaza: President Donald Trump said that the US “will take over” Gaza and that he won’t rule out sending US troops to secure American ownership. His comments break with decades of US foreign policy, which has long emphasized a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, as well as his past skepticism over US intervention in the Middle East.
• Trump sees Gaza as business opportunity: Unveiling what he called his “long-term ownership” and redevelopment plan, the real estate investor turned president said Gaza could become the “Riviera of the Middle East.” The president also said he plans to visit Gaza soon.
• Regional pushback: Arab nations have rejected any suggestions to displace Palestinians from Gaza, which opponents argue would amount to ethnic cleansing. Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its “unwavering” support for a Palestinian state, and reiterated it will not commit to normalization of relations with Israel without such guarantees.
Shock and awe has made its way to the Middle East and many people are shocked to say the least. The neighboring nations are not in favor of any plan of resettling the millions of Palestinians that currently live in Gaza. The Administration is just posing this possibility which is just a pipe dream and a long way off from reality, but anything is possible with the new World order that is currently forming.
