Israel PM says ‘we’ll do the job’ of executing Trump Gaza plan, Netanyahu praises Trump’s ‘revolutionary, creative’ Gaza plan
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed former US President Donald Trump’s proposal for the United States to take control of Gaza and displace its population, lauding it as a “revolutionary” and “creative” approach.
Netanyahu’s Support for Trump’s Plan:
“Fresh Idea” Netanyahu has defended Trump’s plan, which has received condemnation, stating that it is the “first fresh idea in years” and could “change everything in Gaza”.
Israel will do the job In an interview, Netanyahu said Trump “never said he wants American troops to do the job. Guess what? We’ll do the job”.
Positive proposal Netanyahu described Trump’s vision for Gaza’s future as “the first positive proposal I’ve encountered” and “an extraordinary concept that merits thorough examination and implementation”.
Trump’s Gaza Plan:
US Control Trump’s plan involves the US taking “long-term ownership” of Gaza.
Relocation of Residents The plan includes relocating Gazan residents to surrounding nations and transforming the territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East”.
No US soldiers needed Trump said that “No soldiers by the US would be needed! Stability for the region would reign!!!”.
Criticism and Concerns:
Forced Displacement The proposal raises concerns about the potential forced displacement of Palestinians, which could violate international law and be considered ethnic cleansing.
US Foreign Policy It deviates from traditional US foreign policy that advocates for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
Arab nations Arab states have roundly condemned Trump’s comments.
Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia has rejected suggestions of a Palestinian state being established on Saudi territory. They maintain that a Palestinian state must be established before any normalization of relations with Israel can occur.
Ethnic Cleansing A senior member of the Saudi royal family expressed that Trump’s proposal would amount to an act of “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza.
