What was Donald Trump's controversial plan regarding Gaza?
Donald Trump's plan has backfired massively in his face. Donald Trump announced that he wanted to send United States troops to occupy Gaza. Trump said he wanted to just level it, level the whole thing, get rid of it. Well, in the Middle East right now, multiple Middle East nations saying that they would go to war with Israel and potentially the United States if the United States did that. The ambassador from Israel to the United Nations had to walk that back and say, We don't even know what he's talking about. Even we're not suggesting that that should happen right now. But whether it's the countries like Jordan or Saudi Arabia, they're saying absolutely not. This is not happening. Even MAGA Republican senators like Rand Paul are saying things like this.
The pursuit for peace should be that of the Israelis and the Palestinians. I thought we voted for America first. We have no business contemplating yet another occupation to doom our treasure and spill our soldiers' blood. To which our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, responds, you voted for a psychopath. He's your party's leader. One of the things we're learning is that Jordan is ready for war with Israel. If the Palestinians are expelled into its territory, Trump's call to clear out Gaza has sparked massive anger throughout Jordan, with well-placed sources telling this journal, Middle East Eye, that the U.S. ally would be prepared for war. Here, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations says Palestinians shouldn't be forced out of Gaza. Quote, I think we all agree that it should require the consent of Palestinians. I mean, what he says.
Danny Dannen, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, backed President Donald Trump's plan for the United States to take control of Gaza, though he doesn't believe Palestinians should forcibly be removed from the land. Quote, I think we all agree that it should require the consent, consent of people to move out from where they live and the consent for other countries to receive them. I mean, let's be clear. What Donald Trump was talking about was ethnic cleansing. It is utterly despicable and it should be condemned in the strongest terms. Fox interviewed people and leaders in Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia who were all rejecting Donald Trump's plan to take over Gaza. This is from Fox, by the way. I'm showing you what Fox is putting out on one of their shows.
Here, play this clip. Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yanks has that part of the story from Tel Aviv.
Diplomatic shockwaves are reverberating across the Middle East after President Trump unexpectedly announced plans for a U.S. takeover of Gaza that would include forcing Palestinians out. The idea was quickly rejected by Jordan and Egypt, countries the president says would take in displaced refugees. Saudi Arabia also denounced the proposal.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the Kingdom's position on the establishment of the Palestinian state is firm, steadfast and unwavering, and that this firm position is not subject to negotiation or outbidding.
That sentiment echoed on the ground inside Gaza, where Palestinian civilians spoke out about a potential forceful displacement of their people. Trump's remarks are illogical. We have lived through war for a year and four months. And then he comes and says we should leave our land. This is our land and the land of our ancestors.
Now, at the same time, we're hearing those very strong voices right there. You've got the utterly spineless MAGA Republicans in Congress, most of them. are basically whatever Donald Trump wants. Here is MAGA Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House. Here, this is a typical MAGA Mike response where he's like, caught me by surprise, but if Donald Trump says it, oh, by golly, I think I like it. Here, play this clip.
We're trying to get the details of it, but I think this is a good development. We have to back Israel 100%. And so whatever form that takes, we're interested in having that discussion. But it was a surprising development, but I think it's one.
