Donald Trump on Tuesday announced his intentions of “Tech Over” and “On” Gaza, but despite the increasing rhetoric of the US President, there are huge obstacles in his proposal.
The idea aligns with other grand plans, which has been floating since he returns to the White House, including anxirs to Greenland or making Canada the 51st American state.
Here are the five reasons Trump’s Gaza proposal seems unnatural:
– Palestinian roots –
Trump ignored the Palestinians’ deep attachment to his land. After the Gaza ceasefire, half a million displaced people returned to the north.
“This is the happiest day of my life,” one of them, Lames al-Iwadi said on 28 January.
Palestinian messenger, Riyadh Mansoor, for the United Nations, dismissed the idea outright.
“Our motherland is our motherland,” he said. “For those who want to send them to a happy, good place, let them go back to their original homes inside Israel, there are good places, and they will be happy to return to these places.”
– Arab protests –
Unlike Trump’s claim, Arab states have strongly rejected the plan.
On Saturday, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates condemned the “disqualified rights violations” of Palestinians.
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmud Abbas visited Jordan on Wednesday, indicating deep concern in Amman and Ramallah to consult Raja Abdullah II.
Public opinion in Arab states is also expected to be unanimously hostile for the proposal.

– Intervention fatigue –
Trump’s proposal involves sending American soldiers to Gaza. Any such deployment will be an immediate reversal of an important campaign promise to embrace Washington in foreign wars.
Those forces would get fierce opposition from the Hamas of Palestinian terrorists – the 15 -month war against Israel, but was not eradicated in any way.
Hamas and his associates, Islamic Jihad, have shown the ability to maintain a violent rebellion against a traditional military force on a large scale in American memory following failed military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam.
– International law –
With an intervention in Gaza, the Trump will tear the legacy of the post -war international order, in addition to international law that Washington did not proudly champion, at least in his rhetoric.
“The US can only take control of Gaza with the consent of the sovereign authority of the region,” said Tamer Morris, an international law expert at Sydney University. Israel cannot take Gaza to the US. “
Morris wrote on the conversation website, “A government, such as the Palestinian Authority, cannot give this consent on behalf of the people. People have the right to self-determination-the right to determine their future,” Morris wrote on the conversation website.
The legal expert said that even though Trump’s proposal did not come, his accidental dismissal of international norms is itself harmful.
Morris said, “The surefire way of Trump is discussing those things such as taking to an area and moving the population forward gives the perception that these rules can be easily broken, even if it does not break them himself , “Morris said.
Underlining the legal impact of Trump’s proposal, the United Nations reiterated international law, which strictly prevents any expulsion of people from an occupied area.
– Israeli caution –
While Netanyahu and his supporters are associated with Trump’s declarations, the broad political class of Israel has appeared alert as legislative elections in a year.
David Khalfa, a researcher from Fondation Jean-Gaurs in Paris, said, “The distant right is ecstatic, jubilant.”
“More liberal, concentrated elements of Parliament are congratulating Trump but expressing doubts about the feasibility of his plan.”
The researcher pointed out the comment of opposition leader Yare Lapid after Trump’s announcement, which insisted the need for Israel’s leadership instead of relying on the United States.
Kharfa said Lapid’s remarks revealed that Israeli politicians “believe that the plan is not all realistic, or even counter-producer”.
The Paris -based researcher said, “Trump is originally and above a businessman.”
And the imagination of the US President’s plan is “a way to get all the players in the region on the board, to get out of the Israeli-Pilistinian face, wasted for the repetition of the same tragedy,” he said.
