The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced before the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that “the United States will take over the Gaza Strip” and has defended again that the Palestinians leave their land. “Instead, they can occupy a whole beautiful area with houses and security, and can live their lives in peace and harmony,” said the Republican against a smiling Netanyahu.
“We will appropriate [de Gaza] And we will be responsible for dismantling all dangerous bombs without detonating and other weapons in the territory, leveling the land, eliminating the destroyed buildings, paving it, creating economic development that provides an unlimited amount of jobs and homes for the people of the area, make A genuine job to achieve something different, ”said Trump.
The announcement of the US president is not only the most explicit guarantee he has done in favor of the ethnic cleaning that Israel wants to carry out in Palestine, but it implies active support from the United States to the plan.
When the president has been asked with which authority he thinks “possessing” Gaza, he replied: “I see a long -term property position and I think it will bring great stability to that part of the Middle East, and perhaps all the Middle East. And all the people I have spoken with, this has not been a light decision, all the people with whom I have spoken love the idea that the United States possesses that land, develops and believes thousands of jobs with something that It will be magnificent in a really magnificent area that nobody would know. ”
Trump has made use of the greatest possible euphemism to refer to the massacre perpetuated by Israel the last 15 months of war on Gaza, saying that the strip has been “an unfortunate place.”
Constantly, the president has spoken of Gaza as a “hole of hell”, where the Palestinians cannot continue to live as if the cause were something inevitable, similar to a natural catastrophe, and not a consequence of the military action of Tel Aviv and the ruler who He remained complacent beside him, Benjamín Netanyahu.
Trump has insisted: “In its place we should go to other interested countries with a humanitarian approach, and there are many who want to do this, to build various areas that will finally be occupied by the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza, ending To death, destruction and, frankly, bad luck. ” Thus, “they can occupy a beautiful area with homes and security, and can live in peace and harmony. Instead of going back again and returning to the strip. ”
Trump had already suggested the idea of ”cleaning” Gaza. “We should simply clean all this,” he said at the end of January. “Almost everything is demolished, and people are dying there, so I would prefer to get involved with some of the Arab nations and build homes elsewhere where I think they could live in peace for once,” added the US president, who pointed out To Egypt and Jordan as possible host countries. Both Arab neighbors of Israel – and who signed the first peace treaties with the Hebrew State – have rejected that possibility, which has been denounced as a call to ethnic cleaning and forced displacement of about two million Gazati.
Both Amán and Cairo have already rejected the proposal.
By insisting on the idea that the Palestinians must leave the strip and start a new life in another territory, the US president has asked himself if he is rejecting the solution of the two states.
Trump wanted to disregard the issue, saying that “it means nothing two states or a state or no other state. It means that we want to give people a possibility of making their lives. They have never had it because the strip has been a hole of hell. ” Netanyahu, who has directed the constant bombings that have killed more than 47,500 people during the war, listened carefully.
“Israel will end war winning it. Israel’s victory will be the victory of the United States. Not only will we win working together, but we will achieve peace with your leadership, president and our collaboration, ”Netanyahu held. The Israeli leader has insisted that one of his goals is “to ensure that Gaza never represents a threat to Israel” and “Trump is taking him to a higher level where he sees a different future for a piece of land that has been the focus of so much terrorism and so many attacks. ”
Until Netanyahu’s visit this week, the US president had made clear his partner in Tel Aviv that he wanted the end of the war in Gaza, but also said not to trust the fire in Gaza in his first day in office . “I have no guarantees that peace will be maintained,” Trump said Monday, one day before his meeting with Israeli prime minister. About 24 hours later, Netanyahu thanked Trump for his role in achieving the high fire and has obviated the one that Joe Biden played. “I think President Trump added great strength and powerful leadership to this agreement,” he said.
The Republican hung the medal for having reached an agreement to stop the fire in Gaza in the last days of the Biden administration – which had been trying to cease hostilities with Hamas – since the intervention of its envoy since last May -, after the intervention of its envoy Special for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. Trump has been breastfeeding for the release of Israeli hostages who have been able to get out of Gaza and during the first days of truce in the strip presumed to have fulfilled his promise of “peace” in the region.
Witkoff has said that he will meet Thursday in Florida with Qatari Foreign Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Than, who has been the main mediator between the two parties.
This Monday, negotiations should have begun for the next phase of the agreement, but indirect meetings between Israel and Hamás have not yet started in Doha to define the details of the second stage. Netanyahu canceled at the last minute the sending of his delegation to Qatar until after his trip to Washington, which will last more than expected, until Saturday, February 8.
Before their meeting in the US capital, there have been demonstrations and acts organized by the families of the hostages that remain in Gaza to demand Trump and Netanyahu to continue with the high -fire agreement, so that the Palestinian militiamen release To all the kidnapped on October 7, 2023 (there are still tens after 13 have been released in the past two weeks).
Shortly before receiving Netanyahu in Washington, Trump has signed a presidential memorandum that restores a hard hand policy with Iran, with the aim of preventing the country from acquiring a nuclear weapon and limiting its oil exports. The Ayatolás regime is one of the greatest obsessions of the two leaders. Together with the Israeli prime minister he has insisted that “Iran is very strong right now”, as if that were the consequence of the policies of the previous administration, adding that Iran had “big problems” when he left the presidency in 2021.
In addition to talking about Iran, on the table is the sending of more American weapons to Israel (it is one of the few exceptions to freeze foreign aid to everyone by Trump). Trump already gave orders to resume the sending of 1,800 MK-84 bombs, which weigh around a ton and whose use suspended Biden due to the damage they could cause to the Gazatí civilian population.
Good harmony from the first mandate
Netanyahu sees the opportunity to have even more wide manga than he had with Joe Biden – who supported the Israeli punishment war against Gaza from October 2023 until the end of his presidency. When Trump won the elections last November, the Israeli prime minister announced a plan for the high fire in Lebanon (after weeks of intense bombings and the terrestrial invasion of the south of the country) as a “gift” for the winner and future president .
Trump has supported the Israeli government in his crusade against the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), which is in a very complicated situation after last week an Israeli law that prohibits its performance in Israel – What, in practice, prevents him from operating in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the Gaza Strip, where he is the main humanitarian actor.
This Tuesday, Trump has signed an executive order with which he retires from UNRWA. During his first term, between 2017 and 2021, Trump has already suspended the financing questioning the work of the agency, whose role has been very questioned by Israel and his allies since the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, in which The Netanyahu government says that UNRWA workers participated.
Precisely, after those accusations and before any official investigation, the previous US administration suspended in January 2024 300 and 400 million dollars annually. Washington’s decision was followed by other Western countries, which gradually reversed it, as doubts about the role of the agency in the assault of Hamas were cleared. However, President Biden did not change his position before leaving the White House on January 20.
In addition, Trump has also taken the US of the United Nations Human Rights Council, a measure that he already adopted in his first mandate, when the representative of her administration before the UN, Nikki Haley, claimed that there was a “ Chronic prejudice against Israel. ” Haley said in 2018 that “the endless hostility towards Israel” was proof that the Council acted based on political prejudices and not on human rights.
Trump and Netanyahu coincide in their criticisms and their displacements to the UN, and the two leaders have shown a very good harmony in other matters, since the first mandate of the Republican. At that time, Trump made several Arab countries recognize the state of Israel and sign the so -called Abraham agreements, with which they normalized their relations; In addition, the Republican moved the US Embassy of Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, thus recognizing the Holy City is the capital of Israel, as the Jewish state claims.
Netanyahu has been able to travel to Washington without fear of being arrested in accordance with the arrest warrant for war and against humanity issued last November by the International Criminal Court (CPI) of The Hague, whose Washington jurisdiction does not recognize and whose decision He has strongly condemned.
