He really thinks the Palestinians are pets who can be rehomed to a “farm in the country.” He’s doubling down. (I wonder if everyone is aware that Trump’s new Ambassador to Israel,Mike Huckabee, has said that there’s no such thing as a Palestinian? Yeah…)
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Thursday proposed offering residents the right to resettle in any country that will have them after U.S. President Donald Trump‘s plan to take over Gaza and relocate Palestinians to neighboring countries.
Saying the people of Gaza should have the same right to freedom of movement and migration that was the norm around the world, Katz announced on X that the plan would provide a range of exit options, including via land crossings, as well as special arrangements to depart by sea and air.
He singled out Canada as a top potential destination due to what he said was its “structured immigration program” and previously stated willingness to accept migrants from Gaza.
“I have instructed the IDF to prepare a plan that will allow any resident of Gaza who wishes to leave to do so, to any country willing to receive them,” he said in his proposal in which he also threw down the gauntlet to countries critical of the way Israel had conducted its military offensive in Gaza,” wrote Katz.
“Countries such as Spain, Ireland, Norway and others, which have falsely accused Israel over its actions in Gaza, are legally obligated to allow Gazans to enter their territory. Their hypocrisy will be exposed if they refuse.”
“I welcome President Trump’s bold initiative, which can create extensive opportunities for those in Gaza who wish to leave, assist them in resettling in host countries, and support long-term reconstruction efforts in a demilitarized, threat-free Gaza after Hamas — an effort that will take many years,” he added.
Why not the US??? I think people in the Palm Beach area would be thrilled to welcome them. Or Arkansas, Mike Huckabee’s state. Think of all the jobs it would create building the fancy new homes for them. Why should Canada get all that money?
Marco Rubio and his Press Secretary Barbie both said that he meant that the ethnic cleansing would be temporary. Trump seems to have a different plan in mind, though. It’s clear that he means for them to be “resettled” in “the region.” But don’t worry their homes will be modern. And maybe, if they’re very good boys and girls, they’ll be allowed to visit Trump Gaza Golf Resort, maybe even work there a janitors some day.
When President Trump announced his proposal for the United States to take ownership of Gaza on Tuesday, he shocked even senior members of his own White House and government.
While his announcement looked formal and thought-out — he read the plan from a sheet of paper — his administration had not done even the most basic planning to examine the feasibility of the idea, according to four people with knowledge of the discussions, who were not authorized to speak publicly.
It wasn’t only the Americans who were scrambling; the announcement came as just as much of a surprise to Mr. Trump’s Israeli visitors. Soon before they walked out for their joint news conference on Tuesday, Mr. Trump surprised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel by telling him he planned to announce the Gaza ownership idea, according to two people briefed on their interactions.
Inside the U.S. government, there had been no meetings with the State Department or Pentagon, as would normally occur for any serious foreign policy proposal, let alone one of such magnitude. There had been no working groups. The Defense Department had produced no estimates of the troop numbers required, or cost estimates, or even an outline of how it might work.
There was little beyond an idea inside the president’s head.
Nobody knew about it before he rolled it out. He is unstable and I mean that literally. His impulsivity is more childlike every day. Like this kid:
