Trump wants to take over the Gaza Strip

Whether the man is stupid or crazy, I don’t know. But Trump’s statement that he wants to take over the Gaza Strip joins the ranks of extremely stupid statements from the US President. There may be two reasons why he wants to take over Gaza, one is that the US controls the small strip of Palestinian land for a period of time. After that, they give it as a “gift” to Israel. The second and most likely reason is Trump’s desire to expand the borders of the US. We’re talking about imperialism here.
Palestinians must leave the Gaza Strip
At the same time as Trump wants to take over the Gaza Strip, he wants the Palestinians living there to be forcibly relocated to other parts of the Middle East. Jordan and Egypt are mentioned. The Palestinians don’t fit into Trump’s dream of beachfront hotels in sunny and peaceful surroundings for tourists.
This is probably what Trump is dreaming of. US oligarchs building up the Gaza Strip, constructing hotels and making lots of money. It’s clear that the US president will be remembered for anything but a president of peace.
I wonder if this is what the Arab and Muslim Americans who voted for Trump in the election wanted. Probably not. Believing that Trump, who has a very close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, would be a good man for the Palestinians, most people realized this was not the case. Nevertheless, he received many votes from Muslim and Arab Americans. Understand that whoever can.
Handing Gaza over to Israel?
It is also likely that Trump thinks that Israel should be responsible for the management and security of the Gaza Strip after the US has built up its vacation paradise. Either way, this is in violation of international law. The area belongs to the Palestinians and without a peace agreement that includes a two-state solution, there will never be peace in the area.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump met yesterday at the White House. Of course, Benjamin Netanyahu was the first head of state Trump invited. Of course Benjamin Netanyahu liked Donald Trump’s plan.
