Many people are wondering what President Trump’s plan is for Gaza. He has mentioned bringing peace to the Middle East on countless occasions, but it has been hard to see if the president actually has a plan. I for one believe I have figured it out.
President Trump gave a hint of what he would like to see in Gaza during yesterday’s marathon executive order signing ceremony. The President responded to a journalist’s question about whether the three stages of the ceasefire agreement would be completed: “I’m not confident… This isn’t our war. It’s their war. I’m not confident, but I think they’re very weakened on the other side. I looked at a picture of Gaza. It looks like a massive demolition site. It needs to be rebuilt in a different way.”
So what does Trump mean by rebuilding Gaza in a different way? The President hinted with this: “Gaza has a phenomenal location—on the sea, the best weather… Some beautiful things could be done there.”
Trump has always been an outside of the box thinker and it wouldn’t be surprising if he tempts the Arab countries that have signed the Abraham Accords to help rebuild Gaza as a sort of resort strip placed under the umbrella of an expanded Abraham Accords.
True, it is not exactly the way I think, but it is clear that it is the way President Trump thinks as well as investors from Saudi Arabia and the UAE who will jump in to make sure that Qatar is kept out. At the end of the day, the president will try to tie in his Gulf partners (who are also his business partners) to a deal that will make rebuilding Gaza worth it for them and if it is so lucrative then these Arab countries will find some way to move the Arabs that live in Gaza elsewhere. Perhaps they will simply send them back to Egypt from where they came from in the 1950s.
Of course the best deal would be to let Israel not only finish the job, but resettle Gaza with Jews. After all, Gaza is part of the Land of Israel and by resettling Gaza, Israel will ensure it can never be used for terror again. Anything else is a slap in the face to the soldiers of the IDF who did not fight and die for a hotel zone owned by the Gulf Arabs or for Hamas to stay in power. They fought to defeat our enemies once and for all and to finally liberate our land from those who are illegally squatting on it.
President Trump has many good intentions, but the only way to ensure peace in the Middle East is not through business deals, but rather it is to prove to the Arab Jihadists that when they start wars with the Jewish Nation, it is the Jewish Nation that keeps the Land at the end.
