Moving Gazans to Arab countries won’t work but neither will ending the war with Hamas the strongest force in Gaza New ideas are needed and this might spark more viable solutions
As is often the case with Donald Trump, there were plenty of headline-worthy statements that came out his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
1. The US president said the Saudis were not demanding a Palestinian state; Saudi Arabia disputes otherwise 2. that the current Israeli government could complete the hostage release deal; 3. that Iran is “very strong right now”; 4. that the US would get more violent if Hamas didn’t release all the hostages
Yet the statement leading evening news shows in the US and news sites around the world was about the future of Gaza:
Quote
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too"
"We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous bombs and other weapons on the site”
