Former US President Donald Trump has revealed his post-war plan for Gaza, proposing that the US take control of the Strip and displace its population to Egypt, Jordan and other countries.

This plan sparked a wave of rejection and condemnation from various parties, except for Israel, which welcomed the proposal.

Khamis Obaid Al Ali, a researcher specializing in Israeli affairs at the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research, confirmed during his interview with Sky News Arabia that “Trump’s plan aims to conclude a major regional peace deal in the Middle East, but it faces many obstacles.”

He added, "The challenges include the fate of Hamas and the residents of Gaza, in addition to the Israeli security institutions' rejection of the displacement proposal, due to its security implications."

Al Ali points out that “there are two main visions within Israel: the first is right-wing, which believes that the Jewish state should extend from the river to the sea, and the second is adopted by the security establishment, which believes that the only solution lies in establishing an independent Palestinian state to ensure Israeli national security.”

Gaza Strip.. Displacement Plan and Alternative Plans

Can the displacement be implemented?

Media professional and Palestinian affairs specialist Wael Mahmoud said in an interview with Sky News Arabia's newsroom that "the plan is a repetition of old attempts to displace Palestinians, but it clashes with the demographic and political reality in the region."

He added, "The Palestinian Nakba of 1948 is still fresh in people's minds, making any attempt at new displacement fraught with danger."

On the other hand, Mahmoud points out that “Arab support for the Palestinians is necessary, but the issue needs a new strategy to confront the American and Israeli plans that seek to liquidate the issue.”

Dr. Muhammad Mujahid Al-Zayat, advisor to the Egyptian Center for Thought and Studies, explains that “Egypt completely rejected any proposal to settle Palestinians in Sinai, because that conflicts with Egyptian sovereignty and aims to cancel the right of return.”

He added, "The American proposal is nothing but an extension of an old Zionist project that seeks to liquidate the Palestinian cause once and for all."

Washington and Israel: Alliance of Interest or Political Chaos?

For his part, former US diplomat Lincoln Bloomfield believes that "Trump views Gaza from the perspective of a businessman, not a head of state, which explains his unworkable proposals."

He added that "Israel itself may find itself in a predicament if it decides to go ahead with implementing this plan, because it will face fierce Palestinian and international resistance."

As the debate over the fate of the Gaza Strip continues, analysts agree that a political solution is the best way to achieve stability. As Al Ali explains, “The international community still supports the two-state solution, and this is the most realistic option to ensure security in the region.”

In light of this complex scene, questions remain: Will international pressure succeed in thwarting the displacement plan? Or is the region heading towards a new phase of escalation and instability? Only the coming days will be able to answer these questions.
