Trump's Vision for Transforming Gaza
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Israel Hayom has learned that mass evacuation from Gaza, including both Hamas operatives and those categorized as the "uninvolved population," represents a cornerstone of American regional strategy - beyond mere public statements as many Israeli observers believe. During his visit to Israel, presidential envoy Steve Witkoff's messages indicated that through substantial Gazan emigration, the administration seeks to align Trump's war conclusion objectives with his stance, shared by many in the new administration, that Hamas must cease controlling Gaza. Witkoff stressed that considering Oct. 7's atrocities, he too considers future Hamas governance of Gaza untenable. A senior Israeli official suggested Hamas might voluntarily surrender Gaza control and considers this the most probable outcome. "Within Palestinian faction discussions, Hamas recognizes the necessity of transferring authority," the official said.
