As usually happens with Donald Trump, his subordinates had to adapt an ambitious and surprising plan to the reality of American and international geopolitics, in this case the intention of rebuilding Gaza and turning it into “the Riviera de Oriente Near.” The nuances … On Wednesday they were important.
Although the president did not rule out the shipment of troops to the strip In his press conference on Tuesday, his team clarified that there will be no US soldiers on the ground and that any reconstruction will be financed with private money or contributions from other countries, without resorting to public treasury funds in the United States.
In your appearance next to Benjamin NetanyahuTrump announced an ambitious reconstruction plan for Gaza. “It will be ours, and we will do a great job,” he said, while his Israeli counterpart, visibly surprised, reacted with content gesture. The US president made it clear that all Palestinians must evacuate the strip and be welcomed by force by Egypt or Jordan. Washington’s position did not change on Wednesday: the United States warns its partners that the Palestinians must leave and that Gaza control will be shared between Washington and Israel. However, Trump wants to achieve it without this being a cost in money or military lives for the United States.
According to the White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, «The President has made it very clear that the United States must be involved in this reconstruction effort to guarantee stability in the region. But that does not mean troops on the ground in Gaza, nor that American taxpayers will finance this operation ». Like the rest of the president’s team, Leavitt left no break to criticize his boss: “This means that Donald Trump, the best negotiator on the planet, will close an agreement with our partners in the region.”
Those partners, however, have radically refused to participate in the evacuation of Gaza, the first Saudi Arabia, who even issued a statement to reject those early morning plans. Anyway, Jordan and Egypt, who according to Trump’s plan should host more refugees, will be forced to do so, even if they resist. Leavitt, the White House spokeswoman, said Trump has already spoken by phone with the Egyptian president, Abdelfatá al sisiand with the Jordanian King, Abdalá II, and who expects “only cooperation” of both. To remember it, the two have been summoned in the White House next week.
Muices to Trump’s plan
The head of American diplomacy, Marco Rubio, also offered Murses combined with Trump praise. During a trip to Guatemala, the Secretary of State assured that the controversial idea of his boss «had no hostile intention. I think it was a very generous gesture: the offer to rebuild and take charge of reconstruction ». Trump administration messages in this matter, as in many others, are not totally unitary. Rubio interpreted that Trump’s evacuation orders are temporary. He said that “the people who live there will not be able to remain while the teams work in debris withdrawal.”
Trump, known for his madness in public appearances, avoided giving details about his great real estate plan for Gaza during a brief reception in the oval office on the occasion of the swearing of his new attorney general, Pam Bondi. “It’s not the time,” The president answered the questions of the press, despite the fact that in similar acts it has been exposed on such varied issues as water pressure in showers or tariffs to Europe.
The rectifications remained in the hands of their spokesman, who shortly after appeared in the White House to clarify that the idea of turning Gaza into “the riviera of the Middle East” is a maximalist vision, a negotiating tactic to offer the Gazati a “position of long -term well -being “in a” good, new and beautiful place “in another country.
Leavitt, from the White House, showed on a screen photos of a part of Gaza in debris, the result of Israel’s military offensive in response to the terrorist attacks of 2023. “Who would want to live there?” Leavitt wondered. The truth is that the two million Palestinians have remained in the strip for decades without the intention of leaving other countries, despite the blockade of Israel and the hardships imposed by the authoritarian government of Hamas. At the moment, Israel has kept silent. His official reaction was none other than Netanyahu’s smile.
