Summary

Arab nations firmly rejected Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, condemning the destabilizing resettlement plan outright.

Leaders from Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority, and the Arab League issued a joint statement opposing the idea.

Critics argued that relocating Gaza’s 2.3 million residents would undermine regional stability, worsen conflict dynamics, and obstruct prospects for a viable two-state solution.

Diplomats met in Cairo to emphasize urgent reconstruction in Gaza and reaffirm commitment to a two-state peace process, rejecting displacement from their homeland.

    Western countries demanding that Arab States take in refugees is how this whole thing got started.

    Had missed this suggestion completely. So, the totally-not-racist-don’t-be-so-sensitive-you-silly-snowflake president’s solution is “how about ethnic cleansing?”.

    I was recently in Bosnia and as a consequence read up on the balkan conflict, this quote (about the srebnica massacre) stuck with me:

    People are not little stones or keys in someone’s pocket, that can be moved from one place to another just like that. … Therefore, we cannot precisely arrange for only Serbs to stay in one part of the country while removing others painlessly. I do not know how Mr. Krajišnik and Mr. Karadžić will explain that to the world. That is genocide.

    There’s a reason Egypt has their border with Palestine secured.

    Trump wild should also read up about Black September and the Lebanese Civil War.
