Trump says he wants US to 'take over' Gaza and resettle Palestinians
BBC ^ | Feb 5 | BBC

Posted on 02/04/2025 10:26:35 PM PST by RandFan

Summary

Donald Trump said the US could "take over" Gaza, in a joint news conference with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House

The president says the US could "do a real job" by removing unexploded bombs and economically redeveloping the Palestinian territory into "the Riviera of the Middle East"

He also proposed that Palestinians should be resettled outside of Gaza while it was rebuilt, though countries throughout the Middle East have previously rejected this proposal

Netanyahu - the first foreign leader to visit in the US president's second term - said Trump's plan was an idea "worth paying attention to"

We have to end this war which will never end with Palestinians living next door to Israel. It is in our best interest. This perpetual war costs us a lot of money, a lot.

One unfortunate truth that I’ve learned through this struggle against the Chicom/corporate takeover of America and the rest of The West is that we have to be aligned rich and powerful people or we will just get run over. So who will it be, The Chinese/WEF/Soros/Communists or Pro-Israel Jewish capitalists? Bob Dylan said it best, “You gotta serve somebody”.

Trump knows what he is doing.

Everyone on here as the 2020 election steal was on saying President Trump was playing 4D chess and had a YUGE AND BRILLIANT PLAN to overcome the steal.

Then one day he didn’t and we got potato head and hyena instead.

It’s OK to admit Trump isn’t infallible

This is a mistake to get involved in this Gaza mess other than to eradicate Hamas.

What, precisely, has ever worked out to our benefit in the Middle East? Other than our alliance with Israel?

Can we just drain our own swamp first before we seek out a fresh quagmire?

I could not agree more. There has already been back door communication with Saudi, Jordan, and Egypt. Indonesia is also an option that has been discussed. Airlines are restarting service into Tel Aviv. I am keeping my eyes on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. If that comes up then we all better be right with the Lord Jesus, because He is coming back soon.

What a time to be alive and see this happen at a break neck pace.

This is an excellent idea. The more I think about it I understand Trump’s thinking.
Russia and Iran won’t be happy though.

Trump moves USAid foreign aid website offline?

Criminy, things in the Middle East could get dicey. This region hasn’t been especially kind to the U.S. or its presidents. The Washington foreign policy establishment has an ingrained belief in its own brilliance and a willingness to succumb to hubris about the extent of its power and influence. The Middle East has always had a tried and true formula to get foreign aid tax dollars.....uttering the word “peace” at regular intervals.

Will that change?

“Peace” in the Middle East has been a pipe dream for about a thousand years........there’s been a
huge price tag on “peace,” with the US taxpayer gamely trying to meet the latest “peace price.”

Netanyahu to Trump: “Can you top this?”

<><>During the 2024 election year, Biden blanketed Israel w/ $17.9 billion peace-keeping tax dollars in that one year alone, saying, “Nobody has done more for Israeli peace than I have.”

<><>Since 1973, Israel has received more than $120 billion US tax dollars in
peace-filled MILITARY assistance alone, including “three special aid” peace packages.
<><>billions for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty
<><>billions for Israel’s peaceful withdrawal from the Sinai.
<><>billions for peaceful redeployment of Israeli forces
<><>$5 billion tax dollars rebuilding Israeli air bases in the Negev.

Besides peace-making weaponry, Israel also receives peace-keeping economic and humanitarian foreign aid, which supports broad peaceful economic development and socio-political stability and can include peaceable non-military support related to the country’s pressing peace needs.

Beirut used to be the “River of the Middle East” throwing money at Gaza us a fools errand.

The failure if the portable docks Biden attempted to install was a Godsend. The underlying plan was to migrate the population to U S. soil.

As stated in another post this is called positioning and it’s to get a reaction from other countries. They don’t want the US there so what will they comply with.

Nobody wants the fake Palestinian people so what will they do to fall in line.

I have also said Gaza should be wiped off the map and made into a luxury beach side resort.

No. Gaza is not Atlantic City.

That cesspool is Israel's problem, not ours.

Thank you. Well stated.

The folks on this thread contorting themselves into human pretzels to rationalize this idiocy Trump spouted are no different tHan the posters who frequented the "Doesn't Dubya look Dreamy in his Sombrero" threads back in the Bush years.

As you stated Trump is after all a man. I have been thrilled with what he has accomplished these past two weeks but when he goes on delusional riffs like this it diminishes him and those who believe in him

That’s right. With Russia out of Syria, a U.S. base in Gaza would have a clear short path to Iran and check mate Russia. Turkey would also be threatened since Gaza is so close to them. The balance of power would definitely shift.

“ What if Donald Trump envisioning to make Gaza strip smart city?”

To do that, you have to get rid of the idiot Muslims. I think that’s what he will do. Could JORDAN AND Syria be next?

The Palis have to go, whether they want to or not. Everyone knows it but no one wants the worthless POS. Trump is basically saying this is the way it’s going to be so he’s starting the negotiations.

Since you are asking me, it depends on their behavior. Did they love their Israeli neighbors or hate them ?

I agree and friendly criticism/praise when in order

Anyone who says they’re in lockstep with Trump is lying
