Well thoughtout article. Removal of the Palestinians would be no different than the forced Removal of the Jews from the Jewish ghettos of Europe. The only things missing would be the cattle train cars and the concentration camps at the end of the rail line.

The only solution Trump should seek is the one Israel doesn't want and that is to let the Palestinians have some level of autonomy and the Arab countries rebuild Gaza.

In other words a form of the failed Minsk Accords. With the Arab countries signing on as guarantors of Israeli security.

Under no circumstances should the U.S. military ever step foot in Gaza or the West Bank. Israel is the interloper in the region and not the Palestinians.

I think it's a dumb idea as presented. A recipe for a quagmire. I suspect that Trump was not being serious, but rather trying to overreach and shock so when the idea is pulled back to something more reasonable, it will sound more palatable to everyone.
