President Trump said Tuesday that the United States should occupy Gaza and force two million Palestinians in other countries, and to provide a “beautiful” new home for people who are displaced by destructive war His plan has been described as a humanitarian effort.
The proposal, proposed during a news conference at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was offered decades of US foreign policy in the Middle East, even as the second phase of ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Negotiations are underway.
Here are five techies:
Trump has rejected US diplomacy for decades.
Mr Trump, while proposing that the United States occupies Gaza, entered his administration directly into a highly sensitive flashpoint in the Middle East. For years, under the presidents of the two major parties, the United States has supported the idea of a “solution to two states” in which Palestinians and Israelis will live together in peace.
In one day, Mr Trump abandoned the idea, and replaced it with a completely different idea.
He told reporters, “Everyone I have talked about loves the United States, the owner of this piece of this land.” “Developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be wonderful.”
In fact, the leaders of Egypt and Jordan had already rejected the idea of taking the Palestinians. And on Tuesday, Hamas representatives called the idea of shifting close to two million people as “a prescription for chaos and tension in the region.”
Mr Trump did not cite any legal authority that he was given the right to handle the area, nor did he pay attention to the fact that forcible removal of the population violates international law.
His remarks came to a point of high sensitivity.
Mr Trump’s proposal has emerged in the middle of uncertain negotiations to establish a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which can end the war and release the hostages in Gaza.
On Tuesday, it was unclear how the president’s comments could have an impact on these talks. Mr Netanyahu agreed to send a team to Doha, Qatar on Monday, where representatives from Israel and Hamas began talks.
Hamas’s leadership has insisted that after the war ends, they will remain in control of Gaza, and increase their dominance in the enclave. Mr Trump’s assistants said on Tuesday morning that the United States would not tolerate Hamas in power.
But the president’s proposal for Gaza’s US occupation went beyond what his assistants suggested early in the day.
The logistics questions were restrained.
Mr Trump did not specify how the US would be implemented in the occupation of Gaza, even if the use of force would be needed and how 2 million people would be transferred to other countries against their will, and which shine. Well and modern “Riviera will finance and build.” He imagined.
Mr Trump repeatedly said on Tuesday that Egypt and Jordanian leaders would accept the Palestinians despite their view that they would not do so.
Mr Trump said, “They say they will not accept.” I say they will do. “
He acknowledged that the US military may be necessary – or not – but he did not answer questions about the opposition that may come to the Palestinians and Israelis about foreign power to handle the land.
Mr Trump suggested that other countries would pay for reconstruction, which they described as “a hell”. But he also said that he had imagined a “long -term ownership position”, without explaining which parts of the area would be with the United States or how it would be legal.
This idea echoes the wishes of his other expansionists.
Mr Trump’s proposal was only after accepting imperialism since the beginning of his second term.
From January 20, it has proposed to handle a semi -autonomous part of Denmark Greenland. They have threatened to return the military and economic power to the United States to control the Panama Canal. He has repeatedly said that Canada should make the 51st state of the United States and if this does not happen, economic results have been threatened.
Each of these ideas has already been strongly opposed, and the proposal to handle Gaza has believed that even more controversy.
On Tuesday, Mr Trump insisted that the Palestinians would accept their views because of a bomb blast that set their homes during the war between Hamas and Israel. “The Palestinians want to go back to Gaza, they have no alternative,” he said.
Remarks shocked, surprised observers, and were intended.
The proposal to handle Gaza was another example of a “trauma and fear” point of view that Mr Trump has taken to his post since his return.
In the first two weeks of his presidency, he has tried to unstable, disgrace or eliminate the country’s largest institutions.
The assistants said it was part of a strategy in an attempt to dramatize the country dramatically. Gaza’s proposal proved to be a continuation of this effort to stop the stagnation.
Mr Netanyahu, who was standing with Mr Trump during a Tuesday news conference, appeared to be agreed. Mr Netanyahu told Mr Trump, “You chased.” “You see that you refuse to see others.”
