Donald Trump on Gaza Occupation Plan: On Wednesday, he made a statement on behalf of US President Donald Trump, in which he spoke of “demolishing” Gaza and capturing there. This statement has created a stir in the international community. Donald Trump said that Palestinian is returning to Gaza because he has no other option. He suggested that Palestinians should be given a chance to live a better life by settling somewhere else. Along with this, he also announced that the US would take control of Gaza and reconstruct there and create thousands of jobs.
Is this just a statement or a strategy?
Trump’s statement has raised questions whether it is only a more controversial statement or a serious strategy is hidden behind it. Despite its previous controversial statements of incorporating Greenland and Canada into the US, Trump’s plan has begun wide discussion on the possibilities of peace and reconstruction in Gaza.
Trump says that the scheme presents Gaza the possibility of making Middle East Riviera, which can become a center of tourism and business. However, critics believe that his vision completely ignores Gaza’s deep political, historical and safety complications.
5 big benefits from capturing Gaza
The way Donald Trump has given Gaza a statement on Gaza, it can be politically beneficial for America in many ways, which is as follows.
- Trump’s plan may be an attempt to strengthen the US military presence in West Asia, so that the US can monitor its opponents, especially Iran.
- Given Trump’s close ties with Israel, it is also likely that they are planning to further increase the impact of Israel in the region.
- The scheme offers the possibility of making Gaza “Riviera of Middle East”. Apart from this, America also intends to establish its dominance on the Red Sea, so that it can gain an edge on the international water route.
- America considers Gaza better to keep a strong watch on Memil East countries.
- America can also think of holding its grip on Lebanon by capturing Gaza, so that America can curb organizations like Houthi. Please tell that America has already declared Huthi a terrorist organization.
Use of American soldiers and legal bottlenecks
When asked about the deployment of the US Army in Gaza during the press conference, Trump said that he would not back down from military action if needed. However, he did not clarify on which legal basis the US can take such a step in Gaza. International law impires strict restrictions on forcibly displacing any population. Gaza is the home of Palestinians who were forcibly removed during the 1948 war. Therefore, Trump’s plan is legal and morally disputed.
Future of Trump’s plan
Trump’s plan cannot be implemented under international laws. The plan to occupy Gaza and forcibly send the Palestinians there will not only eliminate two-state solution, but will also be seen as ethnic elimination by the Arab world. This is the reason that Arab countries have completely rejected this scheme.
Arab countries’ response
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Palestinian Authority and Arabs League jointly criticized Trump’s plan. He has warned that if the US occupies Gaza, it can threaten the stability of the entire region and increase the struggle further.
Criticism of occupation of Gaza
United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres also criticized Trump’s plan and said that it is necessary to avoid any kind of ethnic elimination in search of a solution on Gaza. Guterres’s statement clarifies that this scheme can pose a serious threat to regional peace and stability.
Internationally disputed disputes
The plan to capture Gaza towards Donald Trump and reconstruct there has raised a dispute at the international level. Arab countries and the United Nations have rejected it and described it as a threat to regional stability. Trump’s plan is not only surrounded by legal disputes, but is also threatening the rights of Palestinians and their existence. In the coming time, it will be interesting to see how Trump carries this plan forward and what effect it affects the Middle East politics.
