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.
The Art of the Deal
And nobody ever considered Trump an artist.
Except of the con.
Was what I was thinking, but even in that aspect he lacks artistry, hrs a con man
This is trumps “peace making” genius. Completely fuck one side over so they have to regroup and come back later to the surprise of no one.
I feel like this is an indicator that we're expecting this cease fire to be a short one.
Well Israel dropped leaflets to move south, then continued to bomb the south. Now they have dropped leaflets to leave completely. Israel likely is going to slaughter anyone who stays there. When Trump came in he authorized 2,000+ pound bombs that weren't previously allowed to be used in the civilian areas by the Biden administration. My guess is the ceasefire for them was just to buy time to stock up and ready the larger bombs for use, and give the people of Gaza a chance to get settled back in or leave. Now they dropped their pamphlets and we likely will see them level Gaza to its entirety. Unless N and T a different final solution.
It's almost like the problems are bigger that even the POTUS. Who knew?
Expect to see a lot more of this from The Fanta Menace's "Peace Plans"
All of this was just a distraction from what's happening inside the US right now.
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.
Oh fuck off
Evidence? Biden was a consistent albeit not forceful voice calling for restraint.
Once again proof that there is no difference between Trump and Biden.
Jesus Christ... 🤦♂️
ah you're one of the fundamentalists that help get trump elected
So fucking stupid.
There's a difference between wanting to temporarily move civilians away from a warzone and permanently displacing people to build a resort.
There's a lot Trump regret going on right now... but you may have a lot of uncommitted regret going on that's making you say ridiculous things.
