It is clear that Donald Trump. If he had done it, the president of the United States would have understood by the mouth of the largest recent Palestinian poet that the yearning of his people is that the “passengers between fleeting words” that surround them, press and grobine them leave them alone at once. “Put your fantasies in an abandoned grave and march (…) / we have what does not belong to you: a homeland and a town bleeding. , we have the present and the future. ”
The Palestinians have internationally recognized their right to their own state, and Gaza is part of that country, such as the West Bank and the east of Jerusalem. The successive wars that have hit the area have ended in other successive resolutions of the United Nations that support this right and that of the return of the five million long refugees generated by their conflict with Israel. There are more than 75 years of fair battle, recognized by international law.
But the Republican doesn’t see it or does not want to see it. This morning, in which it is possibly the most extreme act of those announced so far in its second term ,. He says that they have to throw their residents (2.3 million people before the offensive initiated by Israel in October 2023, after the attacks of) and raise a Riviera. Gaza is, in his eyes, a resort In the Mediterranean, a luxury promotion on the beach (with important gas bags a few kilometers, in addition) in which Washington will clean what there is and raise an emporium.
And the Palestinians who inhabit it and have done it historically? For them there is no more thought than sending them to Arab countries like. It sounds like that Prime Minister of Israel, Golda Meir, who said in the 70s of the last century: “There is no Palestinian people. This is not as if we had come to put them at the door of the street and seize their country. They do not exist. End. The UN already warns that such a road map will involve an ethnic cleaning case.
When President Trump ten days ago and called to “clean all that”, it was not clear to what extent his improvised comments. A probe balloon or a provocation of a “mouth”, as baptized by the partners of the American edition of the HuffPost.
However, in the days before the visit of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in whose context Trump made his announcement last night, he began to see that his proposal was deeply serious and can bring with him an earthquake in the recent history of the Palestinian conflict -Israelí, a turn in the possible exits that are handled and in the role of the actors involved. The US, of course, can no longer be seen as a negotiator or a godfather who calls a debate table, because if (that is, friend of Israel), with this proposal it is directly aggressor.
The tycoon’s plans suppose the most radical change in the established position of the US over Israel and the Palestinians and are already being seen as a violation of international law. In addition to how the announcement for citizens in the field will be assimilated -what begins to arrive by local journalists is that -, what was announced could also have a significant impact on the most immediate process of ceasefire in the strip and release of Hostages from Israel, at a critical moment.
Of course, also in everything, where the tension can climb this new aggression to the Palestinians, reactivating the weakened resistance axis of Iran: it no longer has Syria, Hizbulá is very touched, the hutis are still attacked by Israel and Hamas is negotiating, but he has warned today that there will be regional consequences if this “recipe to create chaos and tension” continues.
You are already talking in Doha of the second phase of the armistice but this can explode everything in the air. Trump himself. He knew the bomb he was going to release and the possible expansive wave of his projects. Because they do not convince their excuses: Trump and his officials are presenting their call to “resettle” ” That there are 30,000 pumps without detonating, as Steve Witkoff has said this morning, the Jewish investor who has given the position of special envoy for the Middle East.
What happens is that Trump does not plan There, stating that it would be an “international, incredible place”, before adding: “also the Palestinians.” Almost by force. Witkoff summed up everything a little earlier: “This guy knows real estate.” I said it for Trump, with pride.
Trump has affirmed that Gaza would be the “Riviera del Middle East.” When asked if US troops would participate in the capture of Gaza, Trump said: “We will do whatever necessary.” He has been the tiny detail that Gaza is from the Gazatis, of the Palestinians. According to international law, attempts to transfer populations by force are strictly prohibited, and both the Palestinians and the Arab nations will see this as nothing less than a clear proposal destined for their expulsion and the ethnic cleaning of the Palestinians of their land.
That is why Arab leaders have already categorically rejected their ideas. In a Saturday statement, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League said that such a measure could “threaten the stability of the region, run the risk of expanding the conflict and undermine the perspectives of peace and coexistence among their peoples. “
Who rubs his hands is the extreme ultra -nationalist right of Israel, who for years has wishes to expel the Palestinians from the occupied territories and expand the Jewish settlements instead. The last settlers left Gaza in 2005, generating a deep regret in the occupant movement ,. Since the offensive on the area began, several groups have approached the separation walls – they have even managed to penetrate a few meters without punishment from the army – to warn that one day they will return. That has opened the Trump door tonight.
Since the attacks of October 7, 2023 against Israel, these groups – whose leaders have been part of the Netanyahu coalition, which keeps it in power despite the mistakes of those attacks and prevent accounts before justice for justice Corruption – have demanded that the war against Hamas continue indefinitely, ultimately promising to restore Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip.
They have continued with their appeals and have opposed the current agreement of Alto El Fuego and the release of hostages. One of them, the Jewish power of Itamar Ben Gvir, left the cabinet when signing the first 60 days of truce in Gaza, but said that if there was no more progress on it, it could return. Bezalel Smotrich’s religious sionist party advanced that would also leave if there was a second phase of armistice. Today they are happy to see that Trump, on a twist never seen, has content everyone.
Ben Gvir said Wednesday in X: “Donald, this seems the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” “When I said again and again during the war that this was the solution for Gaza, they made fun of me. Now it is clear: this is the only solution, this is the strategy for the strategy for the day later. I call on the prime minister to announce the adoption of the plan as soon as possible and begin immediate practical progress. “The Israeli channel says that” the probability of his return to the Netanyahu coalition has increased. “Trump is now an ultra More, full consonance.
Second Nakba
Its proposals suppose the most radical transformation of the US position over the territory. And it is that the vast majority of current residents of Gaza are Palestinian refugees from areas that fell under Israeli control in the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. That contest marked the creation of Israel, it is a happy reason for that side, but in the Palestinian side was called Nakbathe horror for which more than 700,000 Palestinians were expelled or forced to flee from their homes in what is now Israel. They are data from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
Tens of thousands of Palestinians who came from the Mediterranean coast took refuge in Gaza, which remained under Egyptian control after that war. Israel captured the territory of Egypt later, in the six -day war, in 1967, and began to settle Jews there. Finally, he removed his troops and his settlers in 2005, with Ariel Sharon as prime minister.
Trump’s proposals, if approved, would imply that this population, which now exceeds two million people, would be forced to other parts of the Arab world or even further, Trump says, to “resett … permanently.” The proposals and that is why they are being categorically rejected by the Palestinians and the Arab world as an expulsion plan.
Much of the political base of Netanyahu and the ultra -nationalist movement of settlers in Israel will defend the words of President Trump, seeing them as the fulfillment of a medium, as Netanyahu says, to prevent “Gaza being a threat to Israel.” For common Palestinians, it would be equivalent to a massive act of collective punishment. As the Palestinian national authority says, we talk about.
Can there be a resettlement of more than two million Gazatis in Egyptian or Jordanian soil and that the story is repeated? It is complicated. Going temporarily to Egyptian soil means establishing an area in poor condition, very forgotten by the authorities of Cairo, where houses and farmlands have been destroyed to create what Egypt described as a “damping zone” already at the beginning of This war, when this route was timidly raised.
Egypt already welcomes nine million immigrants. The largest groups of the country’s migrant population come from Sudan, Syria, Yemen and Libya, according to a 2022 report by the International Organization for UN migrations (IIM). Cairo says that it cannot endure more pressure on that flank, even temporary. Also, where would I take them? The closest is the Sinai Peninsula and is not recommended. Since in 2013 a period of intensification of the conflict between the Egyptian army and the jihadists in the Peninsula began, Egypt has greatly restricted the movement through the crossing and has prohibited the entry of aid organizations and journalists to the north of the Sinai.
Jordan King Abdullah has insistently advertised “any attempt to displace the Palestinians from any Palestinian territory or cause displacement.” Much of the national population, up to two million Jordanos, are of Palestinian origin, including Queen Rania.
The Palestinians aspire to have a state in Gaza and the West Bank, with Eastern Jerusalem as capital. It is a cast that has the support of most of the international community. The greatest word of the word had it when he publicly claimed the one who was president of the United States, Barack Obama, in 2009: “The situation of the Palestinians is intolerable. They suffer the daily humiliations that accompany the occupation. We will never turn our backs on their Legitimate right to live with dignity and its own state, “he said. Then, with that pressure from the White House, Netanyahu pronounced in which this idea endorsed. It was nozzle, it has been clear.
Now, the plan is, as the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, says to “make Gaza be beautiful again.” They have not read Darwish, but they have not seen Gaza before the bombs. Ask for beauty against Netanyahu, who is the cause of his sinking, surprises Trump’s best connoisseur.
