Who would govern this "development"?

The solution to the Palestinian and Gazan reconstruction has already been decided and is incorporated into the Abraham accords. Except the major Arabs can't participate until their people are on board.
Trump has offered a throw away gambit to allow Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and Jordan to reject the deal while making proposals allowing them to come on board.
All are needed for money and governance of the new state. The new Protectorate is going to take years to reach the point where it can be economically and politically a free standing sovereign. All the nations above, Israel and the USA know that and are now working the plan to make it reality
Who would govern this "development"?
Yes, great analysis. But one correction. He isn’t the former President. He is THE President.
I’m thinking, the deal will be, any US contribution, (and it needs to be small), is not to rebuild Gaza, but relocate Pallies in a third country, like Jordon. They can have a nice home there, or live in rubble on the Gaza Strip. Deal or No Deal ?
No offense, but “duh” is my reaction, from one who’s avoided reading anything on the matter at all until this…
…’this’ being the only analysis a normal person would conclude from POTUS’ announcement.
Trumps plan is a kick in the ass. Don’t like it do something else, but don’t do nothing.
Trump loves to pull swords from rocks
with which he cuts gordian knots.
His plan will be a miserable failure, like his tariffs! /sarc
While the analysis is generally very good, this statement is 50% wrong. Occupying Gaza is logistically a piece of cake compared to trying to operate in Iraq or Afghanistan. We can control the med, keep the Iranians out and move supplies by ship from the US or our European so-called allies.
The politics are another thing altogether. The problem is that our globalist warmongers since George Bush the elder have focused on one global sphere of US influence taking on land wars on the Asian plan, and its extension into Europe and the ME, as lightly as things that are properly within the sphere of influence of the US as a maritime power, our strength and the thing we damned near gave away and lost to China as we pursued our globalist - DEI fueled [to show how stupid and evil the progenitors of this strategy are] - empire. We are turning that around.
Our natural allies are our trading partners reached across the oceans, not friggin' Tajikistan or whatever stan the independent government of the Intel Blob thinks we want to launch the next color revolution in.
It's not a little mistake on the side of an otherwise great analysis. It's a point that all such analyses need to start from - who should we be allied with? What is in our national interest?
Yes. None of the players will let this stand.
So now they have to come up with a plan. Together.
Did Trump just end the war?
Go to a city like Manila, and you see malls five times bigger than a typical US mall (4 or 5 floors), surrounded by 30 to 50 story condos that house thousands of families. There are dozens of these 1st world complexes in 3rd world Manila, either complete or under construction. I’m pretty sure that’s what Trump envisions - the US can help manage the vision, but the Arabs need to pay for it.
Nobody wants the Palestinians. They have this uncanny ability to make themselves almost universally loathed wherever they go. Jordan took in a whole bunch of them after the ‘67 war and ended up having to fight with them for control of the country. That’s how a whole lot of them ended up in Lebanon and Syria. We’ve all seen what a wonderful place Lebanon became when the Palis showed up. They’re the Haitians of the middle east.

They have had the plan for years. The plan is included in the Abraham accords. Saudi Arabia was just about to publicly come on board when Hamas assaulted Israel.
Iran could not permit the plan to go into effect because it would end Iranian influence over Hamas and Hexbollah
Hamas and Hezbollah are effectively dead, Iran is out of Syria and no longer able to assault Israel nor the USA

“Who would govern this “development”?”
Rebuild Gaza using only green technology. It could be the beta test for implementing green energy around the world. Governments and private businesses can align to make this happen. It would be a new territory whose biggest feature is no material using petroleum products would be used.
Move the UN there. Praise the unified collaboration of governments and the Palestinian people. On the day of operations, hold a huge party.
Then nuke the place from orbit just to be certain.
The look on Netanyahu’s face when Trump dropped the Gaza bombshell was priceless.........
he could hardly add up the plan’s potential US tax dollar billions that would be coming his way.
It’s like a 17 yr. old telling his parents he wants a motorcycle…knowing they will object and then cave in to getting him a car
I’ve had to make the point to people ignorant of the history. Besides outlining Black September, I tell people to look at the wall Egypt has built on their border with Gaza, to see what their fellow Arabs think of the Palestinians.
He throws out a crazy idea everyone sh##s their pants, as he intended it to do, he got their attention! don’t like it? “what’s your plan”? the old ways are not on the table get back to me if you dont like mine
We’ve already started!
He can focus on the “Biden Pier” the US built and develop inward from there!
Move the UN there.

This is the best option.
