President Donald Trump said the USA will “take over” the Gaza Strip and the Palestinians should permanently leave the enclaves in the strongest indication that he has released the 2.2 meter population in countries such as Egypt and Jordan.
When he had talks in the White House on Tuesday with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said that “all” Palestinians in Gaza should be “relocated”.
“The United States will take over the Gaza Strip and we will also do a job with it. We will own it and be responsible for the fact that all dangerous non -exploded bombs and other weapons are broken down on the site, ”he said after the meeting next to Netanyahu.
Asked if he would send us troops to Gaza, Trump card said: “We will do what is necessary. . . We will take over this place, we will develop it, we will create thousands of thousands of jobs and it will be something that the entire Middle East can be very proud. “
Trump said he expected “representatives from all over the world” Gaza“The Palestinians too,” he said, adding that he imagined that Gaza could be “the Riviera of the Middle East”.
His proposal would increase decades of US policy and outrage in the Arab world, in which Washington had warned allies long before the Palestinians’ forced.
Netanyahu, who spoke next to Trump, said his proposal was worth “paying attention”.
“He sees another future for this piece of land that focused on so much terrorism,” said Netanyahu. “We’re talking about it. He explores it with his people with his employees. I think it could change something that could change the story. “
Have Egypt and Jordan already rejected Trump’s plans In order to step down the Palestinians outside the Gazastin after the US President said last month that it was time to “clean” the enclave.
Trump said on Tuesday that he believed that the leaders in Cairo and Amman, both of whom receive considerable amounts of US help, “would open their heart and give us the kind of country that we need to do this, and and People can live in harmony and peace “.
Arabs consider such movements as in 1948 when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced from their houses or fled in the fights that accompanied the foundation of Israel. Palestinians refer to this time as a nakba or catastrophe.
The forced shift of the Palestinians would rattle the western allies of the United States, who have long supported a two-state solution for the lengthy Palestinian Israel conflict.
Just what American control over the Gaza Strip could look like was unclear on Tuesday evening.
Jonathan Panikoff, a former high-ranking US secretary officer in the Atlantic Councilor, said American nation-state building in Iraq and in Afghanistan ”.
Jordan’s king Abdullah will meet Trump in Washington next week to hit his case against the resettlement of the Palestinians outside the Gaza.
Israel has reduced a large part of the densely populated strip on a wasteland that was trendy by ruins since it launched a wild retaliation after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
The Arab and European powers hope that a fragile ceasefire and a hostage between Israel and the Palestinian militant group will lead to a permanent end of the war and enable the strip to be reconstructed.
But Trump said: “When we find the right piece of land or numerous country pieces and can build some really nice places with a lot of money in the area. . . I think that would be much better than returning to Gaza, which only had decades and decades of death. “
On Tuesday, Trump also signed a memorandum that would cause his government to impose the “maximum pressure” on Iran shortly before meeting Netanyahu, the Tehran’s Nucleares program for Israel.
The president later said that the command “enforced the most aggressive possible sanctions, drive Iranian oil exports to zero and to reduce the regime’s ability to finance terror from the entire region”.
US officers described the move as an instrument to push Tehran back to the negotiating table to discuss his nuclear program.
Trump said he was “unhappy” to sign the memorandum, but had no choice. “It’s very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, ”he added.
As part of the efforts, Trump stated that he tried to contain the oil exports of Iran and said the United States had the right to block the sale of Iranian crude oil to other nations.
After signing the memorandum, Brent Rohfutures acted around 76 US dollars per barrel, well above the low of US dollars on Tuesday.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has had more willingness for weeks to agree a negotiated settlement in order to ensure the facilitating of sanctions and to facilitate economic pressure.
His government has also made it clear that it wants to avoid military confrontation with the USA and Israel.
During his first term, Trump carried out a “Maximum pressure” campaign against Iran and gave up an nuclear deal from 2015, which Tehran signed with world powers and imposed the Islamic Republic sanctions.
In response to this, Tehran increased his nuclear activity and now enriches uranium near the degree of weapons.
