This statement could be seen as a supplement to his earlier stance on &#8220;emptying Gaza&#8221; and &#8220;taking over Gaza.&#8221; Trump&#8217;s vision for Gaza&#8217;s future does not seem to be off-the-cuff or without systematic planning. While his original intention might have been to address the humanitarian disaster in Gaza comprehensively, it essentially reflects the consistent stance of Israel&#8217;s far-right forces and highlights his extraordinary favoritism toward Israeli interests and the U.S.-Israel special relationship, echoing the policies of his first term<\/p>\n<p>Starting January 25, less than a week after returning to the White House, Trump disseminated a series of &#8220;new ideas&#8221; about Gaza&#8217;s future at various times and occasions. That day, while aboard Air Force One en route from Las Vegas to Miami, Trump told accompanying reporters that he would officially propose a plan to &#8220;empty Gaza,&#8221; describing it as a &#8220;demolition site.&#8221; On January 30, Trump stated again that Egypt and Jordan would accept displaced Gaza residents.<\/p>\n<p>On February 4, after meeting with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Trump told the media that the U.S. would &#8220;take over&#8221; Gaza and work on the region. &#8220;We will own [the Gaza Strip] and be responsible for removing all dangerous unexploded ordnance and other weapons, leveling damaged houses, and creating an economic development project that provides unlimited jobs and housing for the people in the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump said that for decades, the Gaza Strip had been a &#8220;symbol of death and destruction&#8221; and should no longer be rebuilt or occupied by the Palestinians who experienced death and suffering there. He proposed relocating Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to &#8220;other countries willing to accept them with humanitarian considerations.&#8221; When asked if he was willing to send U.S. troops to Gaza, Trump did not rule out the possibility, saying the U.S. might &#8220;own&#8221; Gaza long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu enthusiastically praised Trump&#8217;s proposal, describing it as &#8220;willing to break conventional thinking and offer fresh ideas.&#8221; He called it the &#8220;first good idea&#8221; he had heard and deemed it &#8220;worth exploring, researching, implementing, and completing to create a different future for everyone.&#8221; Netanyahu also stated that &#8220;emptying Gaza&#8221; did not require U.S. troops. On February 6, Israel\u2019s Channel 14 further reported Netanyahu&#8217;s candid proposal during his U.S. visit, saying, &#8220;The Saudis can establish a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia; they have plenty of land there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the same day, Israel&#8217;s far-right figures, including Defense Minister Katz, claimed to have instructed the IDF to draft a plan allowing any Gaza residents willing to leave to migrate to any country ready to receive them. The plan reportedly includes sea, land, and air exit points. Katz argued that Gaza residents should have the right to free migration, a universal practice worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Observers noted that Trump had proposed the &#8220;empty Gaza&#8221; initiative during his campaign, sympathizing with Palestinians by saying, &#8220;The Gaza Strip is practically a demolition site; nearly everything has been destroyed, and people are dying.&#8221; Therefore, he hoped to collaborate with some Arab countries to build housing in different locations to resettle these people and allow them to live peaceful lives.<\/p>\n<p>According to U.S. media, the person behind this initiative is Joseph Pelzman, a professor of economics and international relations at George Washington University. At Trump&#8217;s request, Pelzman drafted a Gaza reconstruction plan submitted to Trump&#8217;s team in July 2024. The plan&#8217;s core suggested a comprehensive population relocation, clearance, and reconstruction of Gaza from scratch. However, while this economic plan appears to focus solely on Gaza&#8217;s economic and social recovery, in the context of international politics and geopolitical conflict, it is far from an angelic proposal. Instead, it is part of a complex game concerning Gaza&#8217;s future and the resolution of the Palestinian issue. It aligns with the historical calculations and current proposals of Israel&#8217;s far-right forces, rejecting the two-state solution and favoring a zero-sum, unilateral resolution to the Palestinian issue.<\/p>\n<p>After returning to the White House, Trump eagerly proposed the \u201cEmpty Gaza\u201d or \u201cTake Over Gaza\u201d plans, which were enthusiastically endorsed by Israeli officials. This suggests that while Trump appeared to sympathize with the tragic plight of Gaza\u2019s over 2 million Palestinians, he was in fact promoting the \u201cGreater Israel\u201d plan advocated by Israel\u2019s far-right forces. Consequently, this has been met with overwhelming condemnation from global public opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s proposal not only violates the United Nations Charter, international law, and the principles of international humanitarian law, but also severely deprives Palestinian natives of their permanent residency rights, survival rights, and development rights. Furthermore, it blatantly infringes on the sovereignty of UN member states such as Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. This is a classic case of \u201ctaking wool from a cow and making the camel pay,\u201d reflecting a robber\u2019s logic of sacrificing innocent parties to satisfy selfish interests.<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, after more than a year of brutal war, the Gaza Strip indeed seems uninhabitable for humans: nearly 50,000 Palestinians have died, over 100,000 have been injured or disabled, 90% of residents have been displaced, 92% of homes have been affected by war, 36 hospitals cannot function normally, most areas have become ruins, and basic infrastructure has been largely destroyed. Relevant UN agencies estimate that there are as many as 50 million tons of war debris, which would take 25 years to completely clear. Rebuilding Gaza would require $40 to $50 billion, and possibly up to 80 years.<\/p>\n<p>However, how the \u201chell on earth\u201d that is Gaza should be rebuilt should not be decided by the U.S. or Israel. Instead, it should be determined by Palestinians within the framework of the United Nations, and through collective consultation by the international community. Gaza\u2019s reconstruction must not be premised on the \u201cEmpty Gaza\u201d concept or control of Gaza by non-Palestinians, nor should it come at the expense of Arab neighbors&#8217; sovereignty and territorial integrity. It cannot become a substitute solution that buries the \u201ctwo-state solution\u201d and aims to permanently resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s so-called new proposals are merely old products of Zionism, intended to endorse and support the \u201cGreater Israel\u201d advocates, while indulging and encouraging Israel\u2019s far-right forces. Zionists have long used the argument that \u201cIsraelis are a people without a land, and Palestine is a land without a people,\u201d while attempting to expel Palestinian natives from their ancestral lands. Proposals such as the \u201cJordan-Palestinian Federation\u201d and the \u201cThree-State Solution,\u201d which divides Palestinian regions between Israel, Egypt, and Jordan, treat the Palestinian issue purely as a \u201crefugee problem.\u201d The ultimate goal is to force Arab countries to absorb Palestinians, sacrificing their natural rights and interests, and ensuring the peace and stability of Israeli society as compensation for Europe\u2019s historical crimes of oppression, segregation, and massacres of Jews.<\/p>\n<p>For the Palestinian natives who welcomed early Jewish refugees, this situation means not only suffering the consequences of ungratefulness but also bearing the burden of historical injustices they did not cause.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, Israel\u2019s far-right forces have been illegally expropriating Palestinian lands, especially in the West Bank, and constructing settlements under various pretexts. Nearly 6,000 square kilometers of land have been fragmented into \u201cleopard spots,\u201d severely deteriorating the living space of Palestinians. This has created an \u201cAsian Bantustan,\u201d with the ultimate goal of forcing Palestinians to \u201cvoluntarily\u201d abandon their homeland and scatter across the world, thereby achieving the monopoly of the entire Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-October 2023, former Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Ayalon told Al Jazeera that Gaza residents could be relocated to Egypt\u2019s Sinai Desert, \u201cwhere there is endless space,\u201d and that \u201cIsrael and the international community could prepare 10 cities with food and fresh water.\u201d The Associated Press reported that Israel\u2019s intelligence agencies had drafted related plans under the guise of a \u201cwartime proposal.\u201d The Israeli Prime Minister\u2019s Office neither confirmed nor denied this but described it as \u201ca hypothetical conceptual document based on assumptions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In August 2024, Israel\u2019s far-right Finance Minister Smotrich declared that starving more than 2 million people in Gaza might be \u201creasonable and moral.\u201d In November, he expressed the hope that Israel could expand its sovereignty to the West Bank by 2025. On another occasion, he claimed that the Palestinian population in Gaza should be reduced by more than half within two and a half years, transforming the area into \u201canother world\u201d under Israeli control.<\/p>\n<p>Palestinians, who have been living under prolonged occupation by Israel and in refugee camps behind separation walls, have endured the long agony of losing their homeland. Now, they face a grim future where even their basic right to survival is being designed and manipulated by others. Decent people are reluctant to compare the rhetoric of Israel\u2019s far-right politicians to Nazi slogans about exterminating Jews, but how strikingly similar these statements sound to the Nazis&#8217; \u201cFinal Solution\u201d for the Jewish people!<\/p>\n<p>Evangelicals represented by Trump have always stubbornly believed that God created the \u201cCity on a Hill,\u201d the United States, to save the world. Otherwise, it is hard to understand why so many American missionaries went to spread the Gospel worldwide after the country\u2019s founding. American Evangelicals also firmly believe that Israel\u2019s establishment and revival in the Middle East is a \u201cmiraculous reappearance\u201d orchestrated by God to restore His \u201cchosen people\u201d to the Holy City of Jerusalem. Defending Israel is seen as not only crucial to America\u2019s secular interests but also essential to its spiritual renewal. Otherwise, how could one explain the naming of over 1,000 U.S. towns after biblical locations or America\u2019s willingness to be \u201chijacked\u201d by Israel and stand against the entire world?<\/p>\n<p>During Trump\u2019s first term, he demonstrated an extraordinary pro-Israel and pro-Jewish stance: granting the honor of his first foreign visit to Israel, breaking decades of bipartisan taboos by unilaterally recognizing Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital, suppressing Palestinians in various ways and cutting off economic and humanitarian aid to them, recognizing Israel\u2019s so-called permanent sovereignty over Syria\u2019s Golan Heights, introducing the \u201cDeal of the Century\u201d that harmed Palestinian national interests, coercing and enticing some Arab countries to abandon the \u201cland for peace\u201d principle and normalize relations with Israel, and exerting \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d on Iran, which does not recognize Israel as a sovereign state.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with Trump\u2019s \u201ctriumphant return,\u201d after surviving two assassination attempts, he has further embraced the aura of being a \u201cChosen One.\u201d This will undoubtedly lead him to adopt even more one-sided pro-Israel policies. Under the guise of \u201crebuilding Gaza,\u201d Trump openly supports Israel\u2019s racist policies of expelling Palestinians. He has held high-profile meetings with Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), accepted a gold-plated pager symbolizing the military-industrial supply chain of war, sanctioned the ICC for issuing arrest warrants against Israeli military and political leaders for \u201cwar crimes,\u201d and provided Israel with more than $7 billion in military aid.<\/p>\n<p>All of this indicates that although Trump 2.0\u2019s Middle East policy has not yet been fully unveiled, its cornerstone and starting point remain unwavering, unconditional, and limitless support for Israel, regardless of consequences. The \u201cEmpty Gaza\u201d or \u201cControl Gaza\u201d proposals may be exaggerated rhetoric or pressure tactics against Palestine and the Arab world, but they are fundamentally unrealistic. Hoping for Trump to push for the \u201ctwo-state solution\u201d proposed by previous U.S. administrations is simply wishful thinking.<\/p>\n<p>It is likely that during Trump 2.0\u2019s term, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may temporarily de-escalate, but a systemic resolution remains a distant hope. Trump will intensify his efforts to pressure and entice Arab states to expand the list of countries signing the Abraham Accords with Israel. He will further empower Israel\u2019s far-right forces, reward appeasement within the Arab world, and may even encourage Israel to launch large-scale strikes on Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities to paralyze the \u201cAxis of Resistance\u201d and the \u201cShiite Crescent\u201d led by Tehran. Ultimately, this will further marginalize the Palestinian issue.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mvp-content-main\" class=\"left relative\">\n<div id=\"tps_slideContainer_7570\" class=\"theiaPostSlider_slides\">\n<div class=\"theiaPostSlider_preloadedSlide\">\n<p><strong><em>Prof. Ma is the Dean of the Institute of Mediterranean Studies (ISMR) at Zhejiang International Studies University in Hangzhou.
