“I would like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.'”
“I would love for you to take on more, ‘cause I am looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.”
“It is literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there,” he said.
“So, I would rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
Here’s my proposal, mr presinald drumf: Yeah it’s a demolition site. So you know what? Let’s rebuild the entire strip. Housing stock. Commercial. Local industry.
China has a really experienced construction industry. Let’s pay them. In exchange they can manage a new cargo port. They can also station a single frigate there. Integrate this into Belt & Road.
Then the top 10 military spending nations each contribute a few billion to a permanent air defense system. A mix of permanent radar stations, fixed missile systems, as well as a well stocked MANPADs and mobile air defense. Then the top 10 each contribute some of their fighter stock as well as train Palestinians. Enough fighters are contributed until Gaza has an airforce the same size as Israel and will be permanently maintained as such.
There everyone’s MIC gets some tasty contracts, the usual grifters can skim off the top, and Palestine gets a modern air defense force and the assurance of a PLA naval shield.
Genuinely if you actually want a stable two state solution this is how you would accomplish it
