With No Buy-in From Egypt or Jordan, Trump Appears to Back Away From His Gaza Plan
Earlier this month, the president said he favored taking control of Gaza and displacing the Palestinian population of the devastated seaside enclave. But Egypt and Jordan flatly rejected cooperating.
Earlier this month, the president said he favored taking control of Gaza and displacing the Palestinian population of the devastated seaside enclave. Over the course of several days, he repeatedly waved aside objections to the idea, including flat-out rejections from the leaders of Egypt and Jordan.
At the time, Mr. Trump said that he would be able to persuade the leaders of those two countries — and potentially others in the region — to accept the Palestinians through the force of his will.
“They say they’re not going to accept,” Mr. Trump said. “I say they will.”
But in a telephone interview with a Fox News host on Friday, Mr. Trump seemed to concede that his efforts at persuasion had failed and the refusal by Egypt and Jordan to accept displaced Gazans would make the idea unworkable.
You're viewing a single thread.
Once again proof that there is no difference between Trump and Biden. Biden tried doing this quietly during Israel's invasion of Rafah. Trump said the quiet part out loud.
Both times the plan halted because Egypt and Jordan refused to play along.
ah you're one of the fundamentalists that help get trump elected
So fucking stupid.
Oh fuck off
Evidence? Biden was a consistent albeit not forceful voice calling for restraint.
By bypassing congress to send bombs.
Biden was no doubt in Israel's camp. However, he was still a moderate in that camp pushing for restrain, humanitarian aid, etc.
Trump has essentially been encouraging Bibi to take off the gloves and pound Gaza.
Different rhethoric. Same actions. Moderate genocide by the way.
Another reminder that Gaza looks the way it does 100% because of Biden. Nothing has happened under Trump so far except a "ceasefire".
The cease fire was primarily Biden's victory although really the war had reached a stage where there was a high chance it would have emerged without pressure.
The consistent pressure by the Biden administration also demonstrably forced Israel to show some restraint.
Estimates suggest roughly 50,000 Gazans died. An absolute tragedy but if Trump were in charge, I'd bet that it'll be much higher.
No the ceasefire was all Trump. Biden did nothing to achieve it. It came directly after Trump sent Steve Witkoff.
