President Donald J. Trump caused
the Left to melt down earlier this month when Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House. During the joint press
conference, Trump essentially said that manifest destiny would come to
Gaza: The US would take over,
the Palestinians would be relocated, and the strip would be rebuilt
into the Riviera of the Middle East/Mediterranean. The pro-terrorist
wing of the Democratic Party went on an ethnic cleansing tantrum that no
one cared or saw because normal people ignore those participating in
Hamas whoredom.
It was never a serious imperialistic goal, no matter how loud CNN and
MSNBC clamored about it. Truth be told: if we did do this, built
casinos, and kicked Hamas out—I’d go. Maybe make Gaza the 51st
state. But whatever the case, Trump scored another win by forcing Arab
nations to come up with their multi-billion dollar Gaza reconstruction
plan, though it involves zero relocation of Palestinians since no one
wants them (via Reuters):
Arab
leaders adopted an Egyptian reconstruction plan for Gaza on Tuesday
that would cost $53 billion and avoid displacing Palestinians from the
enclave, in contrast to U.S. President Donald Trump's "Middle East
Riviera" vision.
Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said the
proposal, welcomed in subsequent statements by Hamas and criticised by
Israel, had been accepted at the closing of a summit in Cairo.
Sisi
said at the summit that he was certain Trump would be able to achieve
peace in the conflict that has devastated the Gaza Strip.
The
major questions that need to be answered about Gaza's future are who
will run the enclave and which countries will provide the billions of
dollars needed for reconstruction.
Sisi said Egypt had worked in
cooperation with Palestinians on creating an administrative committee of
independent, professional Palestinian technocrats entrusted with the
governance of Gaza.
[…]
Egypt, Jordan and Gulf Arab states
have for almost a month been consulting over an alternative to Trump's
ambition for an exodus of Palestinians and a U.S. rebuild of Gaza, which
they fear would destabilise the entire region.
A draft final communique from the summit seen earlier by Reuters rejected the mass displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
Egypt's
Reconstruction Plan for Gaza is a 112-page document that includes maps
of how its land would be re-developed and dozens of colourful
AI-generated images of housing developments, gardens and community
centres. The plan includes a commercial harbour, a technology hub, beach
hotels and an airport.
Israel was unlikely to oppose an Arab
entity taking responsibility for Gaza's government if Hamas was off the
scene, said a source familiar with the matter.
But an Israeli
official told Reuters that Israel's war aims from the beginning have
been to destroy Hamas' military and governing capabilities.
"Therefore,
if they are going to get Hamas to agree to demilitarise, it needs to be
immediately. Nothing else will be acceptable," the official said.
Yes, this is the Art of the Deal. The only curveball is what Israel
is going to do next because there are rumblings that they’re about to go
in and finally wipe out the rest of Hamas. Per the rules, Arab nations,
even the ones who find Hamas and the Palestinians to be the biggest
thorns in the side for everyone, must denounce Israel and cause a
ruckus. It’s the rules.
For now, at least there’s a blueprint for a post-Hamas Gaza that I think Trump was hoping for.
