The Palestinians in Gaza said they won't leave. There's been charges of ethnic cleansing and all kinds of other nonsense, and no nation wants to take them. But this proposal did succeed in forcing other nations to consider putting forward their own proposals. The Egyptians have a pretty strong proposal.
that they're putting forward right now that has the support of most Arab nations who would fund it. It would rebuild Gaza without ruining the population. I think Trump's proposal is ambitious, but unless we can find nations to take the people of Gaza, I'm not sure it will work. But that doesn't matter.
You know, the Washington Journal editorial report, it hates Trump with a passion and it wrote an editorial ridiculing his Gaza plan. But it also said that as much as it dislikes the plan, Trump forced states in the region to confront their hypocrisies about Gaza. They say they care about the people of Gaza, but they don't want to lift a finger to help them.
And Trump really has made them realize that and to take action before he does.
I agree with you and Egypt and Jordan do not want Trump to be putting maximum pressure on them because they won't take these refugees. So guess what happened? Egypt came up with a plan. to take the refugees. I'm sorry, not to take them, to take care of them, to keep them there, to rebuild. And I don't know who or what is going to govern Gaza. I've heard discussions of Palestinian technocrats.
Whoever runs Gaza, it can't be Hamas. It can't be the Palestinian Authority. Israel won't permit that. I don't think the The Trump administration will either. But there's a discussion right now. What will we do with Gaza if and when the war is over? And there really wasn't a serious discussion about that until Trump put forward his proposal.
A big obstacle here is the two-state solution. which was agreed to decades ago. That's off the table for Israel should be for the US, too. I think it's off the table for the Trump administration. And I've talked to Israeli officials about this after the October 7 massacre by Hamas.
In the view of Israeli officials, the Palestinians cannot be trusted with their own state until they are de radicalized. That means mosques, schools, media. When you have a society It trains their population from the time they are toddlers to murder Jews and destroy the state of Israel. That society cannot be trusted with their own state.
And Israel knows what will happen if there is a separate state in Gaza. Hamas will run it. It will use it as a base of operations to launch an even more deadly attack against Israel. Israel will never let this happen.
I think that's a good question. I would say no. But it's also worth noting that one reason why the Middle East is so unstable now is because of Joe Biden's incredible weakness and his decision to try to appease Iran. Iran is about $100 billion richer today. that it would have been if Trump had won the 2020 election, because Biden didn't enforce sanctions on Iran, especially oil sanctions.
And I might add, it sold most of that oil to China. This gave Iran money to spend on its nuclear program, its missile program, its bullet, and Hamas. This Hamas attack was funded by Iran, and I think it was directed by Iran. So I'm glad Trump has re-implemented aggressive sanctions against Iran that I think will be much more painful than what he put on Iran in the first administration.
