(Jerusalem Post) Alex Winston - President Trump has once again thrown a diplomatic grenade into the Middle East conversation. The proposal that envisions the U.S. developing Gaza immediately triggered widespread backlash. On the face of it, the plan is not remotely feasible. But Trump probably knows that, too. He's making an opening bid in a negotiation. This is "Negotiation 101," lifted straight from his 1987 book The Art of the Deal. In his world, you start with an extreme demand - one that shifts the boundaries of what was previously considered possible. Then, when the inevitable pushback comes, you negotiate down to something that, while far less extreme than your initial position, is still a big win. You aim for 100, knowing that landing at 50 is still a success. Trump's record suggests that his goal isn't to occupy Gaza - it's to force neighboring Arab nations to take a more active role in solving the crisis. His assumption? That the shock of such a radical proposal will jolt Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states into stepping up in ways they have so far refused to do. Trump may be forcing these countries to react - if only to reject his idea and propose an alternative.2025-02-06 00:00:00Full Article
