Trump Wants To Take Over Gaza, Announces 500,000 Dead
February 05, 2025

Via AP:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be permanently resettled outside the war-torn territory and proposed the U.S. take “ownership” in redeveloping the area into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
...
The provocative comments came as talks are ramping up this week with the promise of surging humanitarian aid and reconstruction supplies to help the people of Gaza recover after more than 15 months of devastating conflict. Now Trump wants to push roughly 1.8 million people to leave the land they have called home and claim it for the U.S., perhaps with American troops.“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said at an evening news conference with Netanyahu by his side.
The internationally acknowledged Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics' count of the population of Gaza in 2023 was 2,226,544. Trump wants to remove all Palestinians from Gaza and gives their number as 1.7 or 1.8 million:
Reporter: How many people are you thinking need to leave Gaza?
Trump: “All of them. Probably a million seven, maybe a million eight. They’ll be settled in areas where they can live a beautiful life.” (video)
This is an acknowledgement, by the president of the United States, that the genocidal Zionists have murdered up to 500,000 people in Gaza.
Despite that toll few in Gaza would move voluntarily:
Gazan residents generally want to stay on their land.Trump did not specify where the new land for Gazans might be found, although he made his comments after repeating his desire for Egypt and Jordan to take in Gaza’s residents. Nor did he appear to grapple with the many Gazan residents who would not want to depart their home territory, nor with the practicalities of potentially forcing them to leave it.
“I do see a long-term ownership position, and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East, and maybe the entire Middle East,” Trump said.
Asked if U.S. troops would be deployed to take over Gaza, Trump said that “we’ll do what’s necessary. … We’ll take it over and develop it.”
Netanyahu said that he was open to the idea.
The plan for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza is not new at all:
Afshin Rattansi @afshinrattansi - 23:37 UTC · Feb 4, 2025This has been Israel’s dream for decades
Israel’s NSC Director Eiland in a cable from 2004 leaked by Wikileaks said Gaza ‘is a huge concentration camp’ and that Israel’s solution would be to expel the Palestinians of Gaza to Egypt’s Sinai Desert
The plan has bi-partisan U.S. support:
Harry Sisson @harryjsisson - 1:44 UTC · Oct 11, 2023Amazing: President Biden is working on a plan with other countries that would allow civilians to safely leave Gaza and cross the border into Egypt. This is great news. President Biden is making sure that innocent people don’t die due to the actions of Hamas. That’s leadership.
It is a real estate developer's dream:
Robin Monotti @robinmonotti - 23:47 UTC · May 8, 2024GAZA 2035: A NEW SMART 15 MINUTE CITY BUILT ON THE MASS GRAVES OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN: New plans in Israeli media reveal what Israel want to do with Gaza post genocide and land theft. The dystopian vision for the Gaza Strip is being currently approved by the Netanyahu government. Link below.
The long planned for and now announced final ethnic cleansing of Gaza would be in breach of a long list of international laws and conventions.
There is no agreement on where the Palestinian people would move to. Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and other countries in the region have rejected the resettlement of any Palestinians to their land. The Foreign Ministry of Saudi Arabia issued a length statement against it at 4:00 am local time(!):
The Foreign Ministry affirms that Saudi Arabia’s position on the establishment of a Palestinian state is firm and unwavering. HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister clearly and unequivocally reaffirmed this stance.
The leaders of those countries know that this would not be the end of the story:
These displacement plans do not end with Gaza. The West Bank, where Israel is escalating military operations, is considered by many right-wing extremists in Israel to be the real prize, and Jordan the preferred destination for Palestinians living there.
Still Trump may think he can win from this. As M.K. Bhadrakumar analyses:
Trump used the _expression_ “take over” of Gaza Strip. He didn’t elaborate. Trump and Witkoff are two master-builders and they visualise the seamless potential of killing many birds with a single shot —...
- first and foremost, strengthening Israel’s security through the ethnic cleansing and resettlement in Gaza;
- two, restoration of Israel’s regional dominance in the region in a medium and long term perspective;
- three, a solution to the intractable Palestinian problem;
- four, rendering obsolete the various outlandish ideas like “two-state solution”;
- five, burial of the very notion of a Palestinian state;
- six, Israel’s regional integration through Abraham Accords;
- and, above all, massive business spin-off for American companies for decades to come out of the development of the “Riviera of the Middle East”.
Prima facie, Netanyahu lured Trump into a trap by enticing him with a seductive scenario of massive lucrative business in Gaza’s reconstruction. Trump’s imagination is running riot, completely disconnected from ground realities. Such naïveté is fraught with real danger of blowing up on his face sooner rather than later and turn into an albatross for his presidency. This has all the making of a quagmire for the Trump administration.
Should Trump pursue this policy it will come to define his presidency. It may well become his Vietnam.
