President Trump’s plan Place the gazu under the American occupation And the transfer of its two million Palestinian populations pleased Israeli law, frightened Palestinians, shocked the American Arab allies and the confusion of regional analysts who considered it non -functional.
For some experts, the idea felt so unlikely – would Mr. Trump really risk US troops in another unsolvable battle against militant Islamists in the Middle East? – that they were wondering if it was simply an introductory offer in the new round of negotiations on the future of Gaza.
According to Israel’s law, Mr. Trump’s plan has disintegrated decades of unwelcome Orthodoxy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and increased the possibility of negating a militant threat in Gaza without the need to create a Palestinian state. Especially the leaders of the settlers welcomed this as a route that they could eventually re-relocate in Gaza with Jewish civilians-long-term desire.
The Palestinians would present an ethnic cleaning on a more terrible scale than any displacement it had experienced since 1948, when there were about 800 000 Arabs excluded or forced to flee During the wars surrounding the creation of the Jewish state.
“Incredible,” said prof. Mkhaimar Abusada, a Palestinian political analyst from Gaza, who was displaced from his home during the war. “Palestinians would rather live in the tents next to their destroyed houses than to move to another place.”
“Very important,” wrote ITAMAR Ben-Gvir, extreme right-wing Israeli legislature and settlers’ leader, in Post social media. “The only solution of gaza is to support gazan migration.”
“Comic,” said Alon Pinkas, political commentator and former Israeli ambassador. “This makes the connection of Canada and the purchase of Greenland in comparison seems to be much more practical.”
But it is a very eccentric plan that has indicated some that it should not be taken literally.
Like Mr. Trump, often elsewhere bold threats that he did not accept in the end, some saw his gambit in Gaza as a negotiating tactic focused on the forcing of compromises from Hamas and Arab leaders.
In Gaza, Hamas has to agree to fully advance power, a position that makes the Israeli government less likely to extend the ceasefire. Elsewhere in the region of Saudi Arabia refuses to normalize links with Israel or help with the post -war gazette administration if Israel agrees to create a Palestinian state.
Mr. Trump’s maximalistic plans could have been an attempt to get both sides to move their positions, the Israeli and Palestinian analysts said.
Hamas could face a selection between maintaining his own control of gazing and maintaining a Palestinian presence, according to Michael Milshtein, Israeli analyst of Palestinian affairs, maybe he might be content with him.
And Saudi Arabia will be deployed to give up its insistence in Palestinian statehood, and instead settled with an agreement that maintains the right of Palestinians to remain in Gaza, but not their right to sovereignty, according to Professor Abusada, a Palestinian scientist.
Saudi Arabia quickly rejected Mr. Trump’s plan on Wednesday and issued a statement that emphasized his support for Palestinian statehood. However, some still think that the Saudi position could have changed. During the previous term of Mr. Trump in 2020 the United Arab Emirates created a similar compromise when they agreed to normalize links with Israel In exchange for postponing Israeli annexation on the West Bank.
“Trump shows maximum pressure on Hamas to scare them, so they make real concessions,” said Professor Abusada. “I also think it uses maximum pressure on the region, so they would be content with less exchange for normalization with Israel.” Just like what UAE did. ”
Israeli analysts said Mr. Trump gave Israel’s law a reason to support the extension of the ceasefire.
For more than a year, right -wing allies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to collapse his coalition if the war ends up with Hamas in power. Now the hard-lines off-ramp-slib of the largest Israeli ally have the Gaza Palestinians in the future.
Nadav Shtrauchler, former advisor to Mr. Netanyahu, referring to these right -wing elements, said, “In time he will have to see some evidence that this is really happening.”
But so far he added, “They will be more patient.”
