Opinion | Population broadcasts approved by America? It’s on the table.

President Trump presented an apparently changing, although fire, before his meeting on Tuesday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel, the first foreign guide, whom he has been meeting since his inauguration. Mr. Trump proposed three times in less than two weeks that Palestinians from Gaza could be moved to Egypt and Jordan.

It is difficult to overdo the traumatic response of shift and population in the collective Palestinian memory. This story explains the Palestinian determination to remain in the newly destroyed area and the widespread outcry on this movement proposal and its long -term radicalization potential.

If the two guides take this idea seriously in their meeting and worse when the idea comes into play, this will almost certainly promote hostility to Israel in the region and to include the prospects for the Israeli Saudi normalization sponsored by the United States. One goal, Mr.. The Saudi leadership recently identified itself with many others with Israel’s actions in Gaza Strip as a genocide and is more powerful in the conditioning of the normalization of relationships with the creation of a Palestinian state. Apart from the morally reprehensible population group, a large-scale population broadcast of Palestinians would very likely close the door of a three-way Israel-Saudi contract for the foreseeable future.

After Mr. Trump gave the idea out there, he could think that the subsequent storm gives him leverage. He can assume that Arab leaders – classic transactional term – could give him something if he drops it. The idea has a potentially advantageous domestic angle for Mr. Netanyahu. It is a strong appeal to the right-wing allies, on which its coalition government is dependent on and for which the Nakba-Die expulsion and escape of the Palestinians in the area of ​​Israel in 1948-a ideological goal. These potential advantages will neither take long nor get very far.

Mr. Trump’s movement idea joins a long list of Washington illusions about the settlement of the conflict in the Middle East: Israel is more likely that it is peace if it is treated with reproaches to reproaches due to violations of international law. This resistance to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas has a military solution; And that the normalization of Israel’s relationships with Arab countries with which it is not in conflict can work as an end to do with the Palestinian expropriation and the rejection of self -determination and rights.

In the current environment, proposals for depopulation, whether as a practical proposal or not, cannot be easily taken. This is not only due to the history of division and shift. It is also due to what happens now. Shortly after the Hamas attack on October 7th, when Israel expanded his military operations in Gaza, reports appeared that the government had been putting plans – later down from Mr. Netanyahu – forced the Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt. Suggestions of the “voluntary” mass emigration of Palestinians were also broadcast in Israeli political circles, including by high -ranking civil servants.

According to Mr. Trump’s latest comments, the extreme nationalist finance minister of Israel Bezhalel Smotrich promised to present the government a “operational plan” for the implementation of the move. He and other extremists have repeatedly promoted the Israeli-Jewish settlement of the Gaza Strip.

These displacement plans do not end with Gaza. The West Bank, in which Israel escalates the military operations, is viewed as a true price by many right -wing extremists in Israel, and Jordan, the preferred goal for the Palestinians living there.

None of this also offers a future of security for Israelis. They risk creating an even more destabilized environment for those neighbors who are asked to record the relocated Palestinians, and the shifts would serve as a rally cry and recruitment bait for resistance movements in the entire region.

Of course, Mr. Trump is known for his unrest, and it is anything but clear whether he and Mr. Netanyahu will make this a priority in her meeting. But what if the goal is to actually see this until implementation? A number of current candidates from the Trump administration, including Elise Stefanik, as ambassadors of the United Nations and Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel, openly support a larger Israel that only belongs to the Jews. Can it be done at all?

In many ways, Gaza is indeed the demolition location that Mr. Trump has described. The military campaign of Israel fell 90 percent of the housing stock, most public infrastructures, schools, hospitals, mosques, churches and government buildings. If the weapons continue to be silent and the Palestinians see no horizon of hope or even if the war occurs again, can an atmosphere be created that is more beneficial for the mass outcome? Could the degree of economic aid and military dependence that Jordan and Egypt have in the United States?

Probably not. Israel has not managed to defeat Hamas or to destroy the determination of the Palestinian people. It is difficult to find a strict contrast than between the words that the US president and the resilience of the Palestinian population have equipped, since hundreds of thousands have made their way back to the north gaza in the past few days to build up again.

There is nothing that indicates that Arab states would either finance such an act of displacement or play a role in IT, even as recipient countries, despite Mr. Trump’s claim to Egypt and Jordan: “You will do it.” The opposite – everyone came out in the opposition, most recently this weekend at a meeting in Cairo of the most important Arab Foreign Minister, who in a joint explanation “rejected all efforts to promote transfer or removal of Palestinians from their country, under all circumstances or Announcements. “

There is profound contradiction to hear a president who is proud of the deportations and closes its own limits for migration, which is so generous in the volunteer work of third countries as a recipient of population broadcasts.

It is even more difficult to make the case that removing Palestinians for the US government should become a political priority. What possible national security interest the core could it serve? Whatever else has to say about plans for the acquisition of Greenland or the Panama Canal, America, would be the end -privileged. Do you ethnically help the ethnic cleaning of Gaza? Not so much. It would only shred in the world in America’s reputation.

Daniel Levy is the president of the project between the USA and the Middle East and served as an Israeli peace negotiator during the Oslo-B talks as part of the Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the Taba negotiations as part of the Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
