President Donald Trump said that after the Palestinians were re -settled, the United States would handle the Gaza Strip and develop it economically, decades of US policy on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Will scatter
Trump unveiled his amazing plan, without providing details at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit on Tuesday.
Following the announcement on Tuesday, Trump’s trauma was proposed for the permanent resettlement of more than two million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, and called the Enclave-where the first phase of a critical Israeli Hamas and the hostage release. The contract is in force. “Demolition site”.
Trump can equally expect the allies and enemies to strongly oppose any US occupation of Gaza, and their proposal raises questions whether the Middle East’s strength is historical to Saudi Arabia’s US ally with Israeli ally. The American broker will be willing to be under pressure to normalize.
The United States will fight most of the long -standing policy in Washington and the international community to take a direct stake in Gaza, which is believed to be part of the Palestinian state of the future, including the occupied West Bank.
“The United States will occupy the Gaza Strip, and we will also work with it,” Trump told reporters. “We will own it and be responsible for eliminating all the dangerous bombs and other weapons that are not dangerous on the site.”
“We are going to develop it, create thousands and thousands of jobs, and that will be something that can be very proud of the Middle East,” Trump said. “I see a long -term ownership position and I see that it brings stability to this part of the Middle East.”
Ask who will stay there, Trump said it could become the home of “people of the world”.
Trump emphasized the narrow belt, where Israeli military attacks have widely achieved widespread success in response to Hamas’s cross -border attacks on October 7, 2023, as it has the ability to be “Middle East Rowera”. Is
Trump did not directly respond directly to the question of how and under what authority the United States could occupy Gaza and occupy it, which 45 km long and maximum 10 km wide coastal with a violent date Is a strip. Continuous US administration, including Trump, in his first term, avoided the deployment of US troops there.
Several democratic lawmakers immediately condemned the Republican president’s Gaza proposals.
Netanyahu, who is referred to by Trump a few times by his nickname, “Bibi”, to discuss this proposal in a depths other than to praise Trump for trying a new perspective Will not be attracted.
The Israeli leader, whose army had engaged in a tough battle with Hamas in Gaza for more than a year, said that Trump was “thinking outside the box with fresh ideas” and “the willingness to punish traditional thinking. Demonstrating. “
Netanyahu may be relieved that Trump, who established a close relationship with the Israeli leader during his first term in the White House, did not put pressure on him to maintain a ceasefire. He faces threats from right -wing members to defeat his government until he resumes fighting in Gaza to destroy Hamas.
Some experts have suggested that Trump sometimes positions internationally to set parameters for future talks. In his first term, Trump was sometimes released, which was seen as the highest foreign policy announcements, many of which he never implemented.
The UN damage diagnosis released in January has shown that it may take 21 years to clear more than 50 million tonnes of debris in Gaza after the Israeli bombing and cost up to $ 1.2 billion.
Trump proposes permanent ‘resettlement’
Former Vice -American National Intelligence Officer for the East, Jonathan Panikov, said Trump’s plan would mean a long commitment to US military commitment and if the result would be seen in the Arab world because Washington “from the nation’s construction in Iraq He is not learning his lesson and Afghanistan. “
But this time, Trump said he would support the Palestinians “re -resetting”, and would be overcome by his previous suggestions that Arab leaders had already rejected.
Forcibly migrating to the Gaza population will be a violation of international law and will be strongly opposed not only in the region but also Washington’s Western allies. Some human rights supporters describe this idea as racial cleansing.
Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zohari condemned Trump’s demand for “deportation of his land”.
“We consider them a prescription for chaos and tension in the region, because the people of Gaza will not allow such projects,” he said.
Trump did not explain how the resettlement process could be implemented, but his proposal conflicts with Israel’s right and democratic former president Joe Biden’s widespread displacement of Palestinians. Echoes the desires to be.
Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East adviser to the Republican and Democratic administration, said that Trump had given Netanyahu a “huge pass” with his Gaza announcement. Miller said, “He endorsed almost every right -wing imagination in Israel.
In a statement, the Saudi government called for rejecting any attempt to oust Palestinians from their land, saying it would not establish relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Critics decide the expansionist rhetoric
In just two weeks of his second term, Trump in the White House to discuss the future of the Gaza Seas fire, to discuss strategies to fight Iran and to move forward for one. Was hosting. Israeli Saudi routine contract.
His Gaza proposal has talked about Greenland’s US occupation of Greenland after a madness in the first two weeks, warned about the possible conflict of Panama Canal and announced Canada should be the 51st US state.
Some critics have said that the echo of Trump’s expansion rhetoric is the echo of old -fashioned imperialism, suggesting that he could encourage Russia in his war in Ukraine and invades Taiwan, who invaded China. Can justify doing.
Trump described the Gaza Strip as a “symbol of death and destruction” and said that Palestinians should be kept in “different domains” in other countries. He said the United States would occupy the Gaza Strip “level” and create economic growth but did not say how.
Trump, who had a career for real estate development before joining politics, saw a wide brush of US occupation of Gaza, while scratting details about keeping the United States Enclave to him. And how to keep it safe.
He was also ambiguous that where the Palestinians of Gaza would go, they said they believed that Egypt and Jordan would take many of them, despite these governments that the idea was already rejected. –
It was unclear what impact on Trump’s proposals in the second phase of the Gaza Seas Fire Agreement, because Hamas strongly insisted that he wants to stay in Gaza while Netanyahu has made this group. He is committed to destroying and is never allowed to rule the area.
Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Watkov, played a key role in helping the Biden administration secure the Gaza deal for a long time before the Biden administration in the United States. The first phase has led to the release of 18 hostages from Hamas and the release of hundreds of Palestinians in Israel.
“We are still in Phase 2,” Watkov told reporters first. ” He said that he met Netanyahu on Monday to discuss the policy talks parameters and would meet with the Prime Minister of Qatar, a mediator in the US talks on Thursday.
