Wall Street Journal: Trump’s plan for Gaza is a futile idea

According to RCO News Agency, the new proposal of the new American Preside Donald Trump that the Palestinians evacuate the devastated Gaza shows a great difference with the view of the Preside Joe Biden before him and a new coroversial initiative in the field of his diplomatic programs. It has been iroduced for West Asia.

Trump’s new idea for post-war Gaza; A significa change in the perspective of American governmes

The Wall Street Journal wrote in a report with this iroduction: Trump said the transfer of Palestinians from Gaza “may be temporary or long-term.” His statemes indicate a significa change in the American policy towards the Palestinians in the policies of both parties in this coury. None of the rece administrations in the White House have proposed the “long-term” departure of Palestinians from Gaza, which most American presides have considered part of a Palestinian state, which has been emphasized on the necessity of its formation.

Trump said about Gaza, “Right now, this place is really a shambles. Therefore, I prefer to cooperate with some Arab couries and start the phase of building resideial houses in another place so that they can live there in peace and to bring about transformation.”

But last Sunday, Trump administration officials suggested that the United States and regional partners might be able to offer guaraees so that the Palestinians could eveually return; Bringing up the issue of guaraees seems to be done with the ieion of making it look more favorable for the Arab couries.

However, officials have yet to determine the main criteria for the proposed plan, including what it would look like to resettle the more than two million Palestinians and whether they would ultimately achieve their demands for full corol of their land. have not done

Referring to Gaza, Trump said: We are talking about one and a half million people and we are ignoring this whole issue. Over the ceuries, many conflicts have occurred in it. Something really has to happen.

Meanwhile, Jordan, which Trump asked to temporarily and long-term settle Gaza refugees, has rejected this idea. Also, the Palestinian Authority, which is in charge of the administration of the West Bank, and the Hamas moveme have also rejected it.

In a stateme, Hamas said: We ask the US governme to stop making such proposals, which are in line with Israel’s plans and against the rights and free will of our nation.

But “Itamar Ben Guer”, the extreme right politician of the Zionist regime, who called for the “voluary migration” of Palestinians from Gaza and supports the settleme of this regime there, has welcomed this idea.

The lack of a clear road map in the new Trump administration for the coinuation of the ceasefire in Gaza

The Wall Street Journal coinued to write: Trump has not preseed a specific road map to ensure peace in Gaza in case of extending the ceasefire agreeme for a period beyond the initial 42 days. In the meaime, he is seeking to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime.

Trump’s activity in the field of peace in West Asia is carried out at a critical time when Israel’s cease-fire with Gaza and Lebanon’s Hezbollah in southern Lebanon seems more fragile than ever, and Trump’s special envoy Steve Whitkoff is scheduled to leave for the region.

John Alterman, an analyst at the Ceer for Strategic and Iernational Studies, says about this idea of ​​the new Trump administration: “It is an ieresting first step, but it is difficult to imagine that it will progress as an idea.” Certainly, it raises serious concerns in Egypt and Jordan, their other Arab allies, and European governmes, who, in addition to their views on Palestinian rights, desire stability in Egypt and Jordan.

The viole war in Gaza following the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation, which was launched by the Hamas moveme on October 7, 2023 against the occupied territories, has faced Washington with a serious problem in foreign policy, which Trump said may be beyond the power of the United States to end.

Last week, he confirmed that he was not sure the curre ceasefire agreeme would last. Trump told reporters that “this is not our war; It is their war.”

The new American preside quickly attributed to himself the agreeme reached with the mediation of the United States, Egypt and Qatar for the ceasefire in the Gaza war and the exchange of prisoners between the Hamas moveme and the Zionist regime. Even former US governme officials say that Trump and Witkoff played a vital role in finalizing this agreeme.

However, negotiating an end to the Gaza war preses a more difficult challenge for Trump and his team.

Displacing Palestinians from Gaza disrupts existing diplomatic processes for the reconstruction of Gaza and the formation of a Palestinian state

It is further stated in this article: “Ahony Blinken”, Secretary of State of the Biden administration, in the last days of his service, raised the issue of a plan for the post-war era, which will end Israel’s military presence in Gaza and create a new governance structure led by the self-governing organizations, which will This process will be subject to reforms and its corol will go beyond the West Bank. An Arab security force will also help the administration of Gaza with the advice of the US, without its direct military presence in the region.

This will create the ground for the reconstruction of Gaza and finally, it will start a process for the normalization of relations between the Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia.

But Trump’s proposal that the Palestinians leave the Gaza Strip for its reconstruction disrupts the carefully coordinated diplomatic process. On the other hand, it will not be clear that the Palestinian people will be able to build their own coury in the end.

In his phone call last Saturday with King Abdullah II of Jordan, Trump asked him to accept Palestinian refugees and refugees. He also said that he iends to make a similar request in his telephone conversation with Egyptian Preside Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Responding to questions about his plans, Trump administration officials said Sunday that they see Gaza as a wasteland of rubble and unexploded ordnance whose reconstruction will be largely facilitated by the relocation of its resides.

A senior Trump administration official said: We cannot ask people to stay in an uninhabitable place for political reasons.

He stated that the Palestinians must be guaraeed that they will eveually return to the region after negotiations with regional partners.

Gordon Sundland, Trump’s ambassador to the European Union during the first term of his presidency, stated in an ierview that during the negotiations of the “Ibrahim Agreeme” to normalize relations between Arab couries and the Zionist regime, he witnessed plans to modernize the infrastructure of this region.

As long as there are strong guaraees to assure Palestinians that they will be returned to their homes in Gaza, Trump’s proposal is a “very good idea,” he believes.

The impracticality of Trump’s idea for a post-war Gaza according to his closest allies

Referring to the fact that some of Trump’s most serious political allies say, “This plan is not possible,” the Wall Street Journal quoted: Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told CNN, “The idea that all the Palestinians (Gaza) ) to leave and go somewhere else, in my opinion, in general, it is not pragmatic.”

Egypt and Jordan have long opposed it because of the security and economic burden of accommodating such a large number of Palestinian citizens. Another concern is that if the Zionist regime preves the Palestinians from returning, they will be accused of collaborating with this regime to annex Gaza.

Frank Lowenstein, one of the former Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiators at the US State Departme, says, “Encouraging the “voluary migration” of civilians from Gaza has long been the dream of many extremists in Israel.”

One of them is Ben Guer, who resigned from his position as Minister of Iernal Security in Netanyahu’s cabinet after the ceasefire agreeme and prisoner exchange in Gaza. He welcomed Trump’s plan and asked Netanyahu to support it. In a message on X social network, Ben Goyer wrote about this: Encourage immigration now.

Meanwhile, according to former officials, the decision of the extreme right wing of the Zionist regime to support Trump’s proposal has made it more difficult to get Arab support for this initiative.

A former senior American official said: The idea of ​​accepting a significa number of Palestinians from Gaza by Jordan and Egypt is a futile thought. This issue was the red line of both couries even before the Gaza crisis, and now it has become even more importa.
