Trump’s plan to expel the Palestinians of Gaza clas with the refusal of Egypt and Jordan

The new White House tenant points to Amán and Cairo to take care of “probably a million and a half people, and we simply clean all that”, referring to absolute destruction in large parts of the strip that make them be uninhabitable. “I don’t know. Something has to happen, but right now is a place of demolition, ”said the US president on Saturday in a talk with journalists aboard the Air Force One. Accessed the estimated duration of the population of the population of the Strip, Trump He clarified that “it can be a temporary or permanent measure.”

«Almost everything is demolished and people are dying there. So I prefer to get involved with some of the Arab nations and build homes in a different place where they may live in peace to vary, ”concluded the president, whose words had a direct impact on the Middle East. Gaza is a place where most of its 2.3 million inhabitants are refugees from the wars of 1948 and 1967 and do not want to go through that experience.

Impossible to return to the north

While Trump raised openly to get most of Palestinians from there and turn them back into refugees, thousands of Gazati were planted in front of the Netzarim corridor waiting for Israel to remove their soldiers to return to the north of the strip. The high fire agreement goes through its first crisis and Israel refuses to allow the return of civilians to the north until Islamic yihad free Arbel Yehud, 29 -year -old civilian Kidnapped at the Kibutz de Nir Oz on October 7, 2023. According to the pact reached in Doha, Yehud should have left on Saturday, before the four military.

Jordan Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, who met with the Superior Coordinator of Humanitarian Affairs and the United Nations Reconstruction for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, made it clear that “our position is that the solution of the two states is the way to achieve peace ». This is the solution for which the international community bets, with the US to the head, but that is very far from a reality in which the only state on the ground is Israel. Safadi insisted that the “rejection of population displacement by Jordan is fixed and immutable.” The Jordanos already host 2.3 million Palestinian refugees in their country.

High Egyptian positions confirmed to the newspaper ‘Al Ahram’ the “firm rejection” to this type of proposals for “voluntary displacement” of all or part of the Gaza Strip to the Sinai Peninsula. When some Israeli leaders talked about this possibility at the beginning of the war, the president Al Sisi described him as “red line” and rejected him frontally.

From the Palestinian side, Dr. Basem Nain, high position of Hamas, said that the Gazatis “will not accept any proposal or solution, even if they seem well intentionally under the pretext of reconstruction, such as Trump’s proposal.” Islamic Yihad, a faction that has fought in the last 15 months hand in hand with Hamas, issued a statement to say that the statement of the US president is “in line with the worst of the agenda of the extreme sionist right and is a continuation of the policy of denying the existence of the Palestinian people, their will and their rights ».

Ultranationalist joy

The anger between the Arabs contrasted with the joy between the Israeli ultra -nationalist sector that applauded Trump’s words, the same sector that rejected the high fire agreement with Hamas for the exchange of hostages for prisoners. For Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Economy, «the idea of ​​helping them find other places to start a better life is a great idea. After years of glorifying terrorism, they can establish new and good lives in other places (…) Only an innovative thought with new solutions will bring a solution of peace and security ».

The former National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, who presented his resignation after the signing of the pact with the Islamists, appealed to his X profile to send “congratulations to the US President for the initiative to transfer residents of Gaza to Jordan and Egypt.” Israeli ultranationalism dreams of throwing the Palestinians of Gaza and raising colonies in the strip and with the arrival of Trump think that the dream can become reality.
