President Trump rose to the post of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, praising “willingness to think out of the box”. But when Gaza was talked about, Mr Trump’s thinking was out of the box on Tuesday that it was not clear that he also knew that there was a box.
Mr Trump’s declaration that he plans to control Gaza, displace the Palestinian population and transform the coastal enclave into a “Middle East’s Rowera”. “A decade or two ago. In provocative, interesting, foreign, provocative – and not all presidential.
But now in his sequel to the White House, Mr. Trump is pushing the emerging ideas about regenerating the world map in the 19th century imperialist tradition. Previously there was buying Greenland, then connected to Canada, claiming to the Panama Canal again and changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico. And now it has imagined the occupation of the devastating war zone in the Middle East that no other US president wants.
It does not matter that it cannot name a legal authority that allows the United States to unilaterally control someone else’s territory or forcibly removing the entire population will violate international law. It does not matter that resettling 2 million Palestinians will be a huge logistics and financial challenge, not to mention politically explosives. It does not matter that it will definitely require thousands of soldiers and potentially mobilize the more violent conflict.
Mr Trump’s view will be the most widely committed to US power and treasury in the Middle East after the invasion and rebuilding of Iraq two decades ago. And it would be a jaw -falling overturned for a president who fled to power for the first time in 2016 and decided to have a National Building and pledged to oust the United States from the Middle East.
Former Middle East policy adviser Andrew Miller, former Middle East policy adviser, and now senior US president for US President, and now US senior fellow, said, “This is the most incomprehensible policy proposal. What I have heard from an American president. ” Advance
Mr Trump insisted that he was serious, even many people wondered if this was possible. “This was not a decision that was made lightly,” he said. Nevertheless, it seemed very fantastic, detailed, so it was difficult to decide the price from history.
In fact, it seemed that it was thought that an hour had increased as the day passed. In the morning, before Mr Netanyahu arrived at the White House to meet Mr Trump, the president told reporters that after the devastating war between Israel and Hamas, the reconstruction of Gaza would take 15 years or more. Will need Working with partners in the region to find Palestinians temporarily located.
By noon, when he signed some executive orders, Mr Trump told reporters that the Palestinians would have no alternative to leaving Gaza because it was just a “demolition”. Shortly after, he welcomed Mr Netanyahu at the Oval Office and even said he wanted to leave “all” and that Gazan should be “very happy” to live a better life. They expect them to supply Egypt and Jordan.
Then at a formal news conference with Mr Netanyahu in the East Rome on Tuesday evening, he took the last step, not only announced that the Palestinians should leave, but “the United States will take over the Gaza Strip” and prosperous. Will make Economic destination.
It was not temporarily occupied, but rather a “position of a long -term property” and made it clear that he had no intention of handing Gaza to the Palestinians, but he was “not for a specific group of people, but each. Will make a place for one.
What did that mean, he didn’t say. Nor did he say how it would be. Even he knew how wild the whole thing was. He said on one occasion, “I don’t mean to be cute, I don’t mean to be a wise man.” “But the Middle East Royer!”
Others have not seen anything cute or wise about “ethnic cleansing by any other name”, said Senator Chris Wan Hallon, Maryland’s Democrat, said.
“The idea that the United States is going to handle Gaza, including the deployment of US troops, is not just a matter of great extent,” said Haley Safar, the chief executive of the Jewish Democratic Council of the United States, said Haley Zero. “In which world is it happening?”
Khalid Elgundi, a scholar in Georgetown University’s Center for Communications, said Mr Trump’s comments raise more questions than “really strange and contradictory”.
“Is he talking about geographical political terms, or is he seeing Gaza as a massive development project of the beach?” Mr Elgundi asked. “And for whose benefit? Certainly not Palestinians, who have to ‘move’. Will the United States be replaced by Israelis in Gaza? What can be interested in this?
Mr Trump was not wrong to say that Gaza is a “hell” after more than a year since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Infrastructure necessary to maintain a large population. No other concrete, developed ideas about the reconstruction of Gaza have come or offered solid financial promises to do so.
It was unclear if Mr Netanyahu expected Mr Trump’s plan, but when the president talked to Gaza permanently to all Palestinians, he smiled calmly, from this process. Israel did not dare. Mr Trump added that the United States will handle Gaza itself, the Israeli leader said that “this is something that can change history” and “following this location” without clearly confirming the idea. Is capable of
After years of years of attacks from Gaza, some Israeli supporters were more impressive, seeing it as a way to secure the western part of the country.
David M. Friedman, who was a Mr Trump’s ambassador to Israel in his first term, David M. Friedman, “Trump’s Gaza Strip’s proposed USA could be out of the box. Written on social media“But this is a wonderful, historical and only idea I have heard in 50 years, which has the opportunity to bring security, peace and prosperity to this disturbing region.”
Regarding Mr. Trump’s Florida State Mar-A-Ligo, Mr. Fredman joyously added“Mar-a-Gaza or Gaz-A-Logo?”
Mort Klein, the national president of the Zionist organization of the United States, said in a statement that Mr Trump’s declaration “is an extraordinary declaration that can assure the end of the Islamic Arab terrorist group Hamas, and decades of terrorists. After the attacks, the missile launches Hamas in Gaza.
In telling Mr Trump’s, the idea of ​​removing people’s population and taking over a foreign territory seems to be just like a real estate deal that has pursued his life in the life of a developer.
It seemed that he was picking up an idea Was floating last year Through his son -in -law, Gerard Kushner, who noted in an interview that “Gaza’s water front property could be very valuable” and advised Israel to move out and then clean up Israel. But Mr. Kushner did not imagine forcing Palestinians permanently or for US occupation.
The concept of Gaza’s ownership will enter the United States in the middle of the Israeli Palestinian conflict in such a way that an attempt has been made to avoid the presidents returning to Harry S. Truman. The United States has long provided arms to Israel, supported it diplomatically and tried to broker the peace deal. Several hundred US troops served as a peacekeeper in Sinai for more than four decades, and Mr Biden twice ordered US Air and C forces to defend Israel against Iranian missile attacks last year.
But the US presidents have refrained from deploying a major power of the US ground troops in Israel or a major power of Palestinian territories that will potentially need to take and stop Gaza. Even last year, when the US military set up a temporary floating pier to provide humanitarian supply to Gaza, the Biden administration made sure that the US troops did not go to the coast.
Mr Miller pointed out that Mr Trump’s imagination would “make a $ 40 billion foreign aid budget, which Trump and Elon Musk described waste as a goal mistake.”
Mr Trump’s Gaza proposal said Mr Trump’s Gaza’s proposal has mainly conflicts with his hatred of the national building, and that Skils could damage an agreement with Arabia that a deal with Israel Arabia. Damage . He said it would provide Russia and China with a green light, as well as a green light. “
But he added, “It is safe to say that this cannot happen,” he added, at least as Mr Trump described his plan. Instead, Mr. Miller said, it was a distraction from the rest of the meeting between Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu, who goes under the name of Baby, who is not under any real public pressure to increase this ceasefire agreement. Had come Last month, he left a lot about ways to move forward.
Mr Miller said, “We were deprived of the original story from the meeting because of all the US Hoppalas that handled Gaza.” “Bibi leaves a white home in pleasant humans on the planet. It was the same if there was a daylight between Israel and the United States. “
