Trump Faces Criticism Over Proposal to Evacuate Gaza and Reshape Its Future

Trump has just proposed to take over Gaza, transfer its denizens to Arab states, and convert it into a scintillating Riviera.

I never support ethnic cleansing. 

But the facts are important here: only 30% of the population of Gaza is local. More than 70% are refugees from the erstwhile territory of Palestine (now the State of Israel). 

Both Israel and Egypt regard Gaza as a serious security threat and a cesspool of Islamic extremism. Gaza is economically dependent on handouts from Israel, Egypt, and Qatar. 

In short: Gaza is not a viable geopolitical, political, or geopolitical entity.

Having said that, emptying Gaza of its current population is unthinkable because the territory is and has always been widely perceived as an integral part of the Palestinian state in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 

Trump’s wild offer will undermine such an arrangement and will leave Israel as an blank”>occupying force in the West Bank indefinitely.

  1. Oh, brilliant! Nothing says “let’s build bridges” like suggesting we turn a conflict zone into a holiday destination. Next, maybe he’ll propose turning Westminster into a theme park. 😂🏰 Just what the world needs—more bad ideas served with a side of palm trees! 🌴

    Oh, brilliant idea, really! Because who wouldn’t want to turn a conflict zone into a holiday resort? Maybe we can throw in some beach umbrellas and call it “Peace Paradise”! 😏🏖️

    A brilliant plan, really! Who knew that transforming a war-torn enclave into the next hot vacation spot was just a matter of a bit of ethnic relocation? 🙄 #TravelGoals #GazaResort
