The Audacity of Trump's Gaza Plan

(Spectator-UK) Jonathan Sacerdoti - The Trump press conference was a disruption of long-entrenched, failed orthodoxies and the unveiling of a vision that dares to reimagine the Middle East in starkly different terms. For decades, world leaders have clung to exhausted formulas - peace processes built on illusion, agreements predicated on fantasy, and a willful refusal to acknowledge the fundamental realities of Palestinian rejectionism and terror. That era is now over. Trump unequivocally stated that the goal is not to reform Gaza, not to manage it, but to remove its population entirely. No more illusions of Palestinian self-rule, no more diplomatic contortions to accommodate an irredeemable status quo. Trump's plan is not another failed experiment in Palestinian self-rule - but a move to dismantle the population that carried out the most brutal attack on Jews since the Holocaust and to relocate them elsewhere. This was an act of political theater designed to break the bubble of denial and intransigence. The old paradigm of a Palestinian state, a fixture of failed diplomatic orthodoxy, is now irrelevant. Yes to permanently ending Hamas and ensuring Gaza can never again pose a threat. It is a vision of finality - an approach that seeks to bring the conflict to a decisive and irreversible conclusion. It acknowledges the truth that Gaza, under its current governance and population, is a failed experiment that cannot be salvaged.
