Trump's Call to Resettle Gazans Could End the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
(JNS) Alex Traiman - President Donald Trump caused a geopolitical earthquake on Tuesday, doubling down on calls to resettle "1.7 or 1.8 million" Palestinians outside of Gaza. Trump has stated what should have been patently obvious to a normal observer: Gaza is completely uninhabitable, and its residents will need to be resettled elsewhere. If his suggestions come to pass, it will not only represent a "total victory" beyond even Netanyahu's wildest imagination but represent the end of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The reason Gaza is in this situation is because of Hamas's strategy to use its entire civilian infrastructure as its base of operations. Nearly every residential building, mosque, school and hospital was turned into a weapons storage depot or a tunnel entrance. The IDF destroyed every building used by Hamas for military purposes. The IDF accomplished this feat while moving nearly all of Gaza's civilian population out of harm's way.
