Trump supports Israel's rights with a Gaza plan, praise from the extreme right
The US President Donald Trump has reinforced his suggestions for the "evacuation" of the Gaza Strip by resetting Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt. These plans encounter horror in some of his allies, but are quickly welcomed by the extreme right in Israel.
Trump's controversial proposals for relocation
After Trump expressed the thoughts for the first time on Saturday, he intensified his argument on Monday and expressed the population in the Gaza Strip: "I want you to be able to live in an area where there are fewer disorders, revolutions and violence." It remains unclear whether such a relocation would be voluntary. Depending on the context of the context of the context, the forced relocation can be regarded as war crimes or crimes against humanity, according to the United Nations.
support from Israeli politicians
While there was no official statement on the part of the Israeli Prime Minister's office, the idea of extremely rights was rapidly accepted. The finance minister Bezhalel Smotrich, who heads the party of religious Zionism, said that Trump had realized that Gaza was a "incubator of terror". He added that the promotion of migration was the only long -term solution to ensure peace and security for the residents of Israel and to alleviate the suffering of the Arab residents of Gaza.
Arab reactions and concerns
The idea of resettlements, are voluntary or not, is terrifying for Jordan and Egypt and could be alarming for other Arab allies in the United States. Ayman Safadi, Foreign Minister of Jordan, said: "Jordan is for Jordanians, and Palestine is for Palestinians." He emphasized: "Our rejection of the deportation is unchanged and steadfast." According to critics of the idea, a renewed relocation could repeat the past tragedies of the Palestinians, such as the Nakba from 1948, in which around 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homo
silent Arabic head of state
Jordan and Egypt are likely to seek a common exchange with their allies in the Golf, especially Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to form a uniform front. So far, the Saudis and Emiratis have publicly kept silent about Trump's plan. King Abdullah II of Jordan did not comment on his phone call with Trump. However, the Jordanian royal family published a summary of his conversation with the new Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, which could possibly be interpreted as a damage limitation.
an unsolved problem for the USA
The problems in the region are complex. Egypt, the third largest recipient country of US aid in the Middle East, could fear that the admission of Gazaners endanger the peace agreement with Israel. For Jordan, which already houses over one million refugees from neighboring countries and around 2.4 million registered Palestinian refugees, further immigration would be existentially risky. Jordan is a resource -poor country with a budget deficit that depends heavily on foreign help.
the possibility of diplomatic negotiations
Trump's efforts to advance the idea of resettlement could also endanger the prospect of normalizing relationships between Israel and Saudi Arabia. This normalization, especially in connection with the goal of a Palestinian state, is a central aspect of its Middle East Policy. Empty Gaza could not match these priorities.
Overall, it can be seen that Trump's ideas for the resettlement of Palestinians could increase complex geopolitical tensions and further endanger stability in the region.
