US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday evening that he had not seen the proposal discussed by the Arab leader as an alternative to his plan to handle Gaza after the war between Hamas and Israel.
“I haven’t seen it,” Trump said in response to the question of a reporters on the Air Force one. “Once I see it, I will tell you,” he said.
Trump said that earlier this month he wants to forcibly transfer about 2 million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Jordan and Egypt. Hey the United States wants to “” “itself” and converts it to “Riviera of the Middle East”, indicating rejection by Arab countries.
It is not clear whether Trump is serious or is only threatening to extract concessions from Arab states. During a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh this week, US State Secretary Marco Rubio suggested that it could be the latter, urging regional leaders to create a counter washer.
Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates messengers will meet on Friday to discuss options, including 20 billion dollars in three years from Arabs and Gulf states to reconstruct Gaza. Under this scheme, Ghazan will not be forced and strip will be ruled by Palestinians.
Saudi connection
Trump spoke of the route for Washington after commenting at a conference in Miami, the future investment initiative, the non -profit branch of Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund – was organized by the Kingdom’s Wealth Fund under the leadership of Crown Prince.
His speech first marked the annual gathering of global financial and technical officials by an American. It is a will how Saudi crown Rajkumar, known by his early MBS, has taken advantage of his relationship with Senior partner of Trump, Lorara Blumnfeld, Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies.
Rajkumar established close ties during Trump’s first term and continued business relations with the Trump organization, while out of the presidential post, including Trump’s son -in -law and former colleague, investing $ 2 billion to Jered Kushner.
“Trump believes in the Golden Rule, but does not have a golden rule from Sunday school,” Blomanfeld told the VOA. “If you are rich, then you are right.”
As Riyadh has led the charge to unite Arab countries, to support Post -wise Gaza, may indicate that Trump is softening their demand. In his comment, Trump did not say beyond repeating Gaza that he said what his role on the ceasefire on January 19, the then President Joe Biden in the office during the last day.
“We have achieved a ceasefire in Gaza, and we are bringing them home family,” Trump said, “Trump said, some hostages” are in very bad shape “said,” Trump said, “We are bringing them home.
He praised Saudi Wealth Fund Governor Yasir al-Rumayayan and Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed bin Abdullah al-Jadan. The White House immediately did not respond to the VOA query whether the Trump met with any Saudi delegation during the incident.
During his Wednesday’s comment, Trump thanked us and Saudi Crown Prince for hosting Russian officials on Wednesday for finding a way to end the war in Ukraine. The Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelanski and European colleagues have reduced the meeting as an attempt to ignore Kiev.
Egypt’s proposal on Gaza
Egyptian state run Al- The newspaper said that under the proposal, the “safe area” equipped with mobile homes and shelters would be established as AEAS living in Gaza, while Egypt and International Construction Firms rebuilt the destructive infrastructure.
Therefore, the proposal asked to form a National Palestinian Committee of Technocrates and Community Leaders, which is unaffected with Hamas so that the post -wise Gaza can be operated.
It is not clear that the scheme is supported by the Palestinian Authority, an internationally recognized body that currently ruins some parts of the West Bank and adminors Gaza until it is not an election for Hamas of 2006. Loses
“What is needed now is a political solution for Gaza to rebuild both physically possible and long-term durables,” said Tariq Keni-Shiva, American policy partner of Palestinian policy network al-Shabaka.
The goal is that “we do not return to a situation where Gaza remains in possession,” he told the VOA.
On Monday, Hamas indicated a desire to reduce the role of any post -wise governance.
Hamas spokesman Hazam Qasim told Al Arabia TV, “Hamas is not necessary for Gaza to be part of the political and administrative system in the next phase, if it meets our people’s interests,” Hamas spokesman Hajam Qasim Told Al Arabia TV.
Hamas made a consent statement because as talks in two phases of war, as negotiations, have been set to start after weeks of delays. However, it fulfills only one part of the major demand of Israel and the United States – the regime and abolition of military role for Hamas in Gaza after the war.
Humas has not yet shown that it will cancel. Meanwhile, Israel has not defined what it considers an acceptable alternative governing unit for Hamas and has rejected any partnership of the Palestinian Authority.
The Egyptian proposal is therefore does not resolve a long -term issue among the warning parties. Israeli leaders oppose any post-wise plans that will pave the way for a two-state solution, while a sovereign Palestine remains a significant requirement for Palestinians and Arab countries.
Quick mortgage release
A top Hamas official announced earlier this week that Group four deceased would return the remains of the Israeli hostages and free six living people in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, including members of the Senior Hamas. Hence Israel wants to allow mobile homes and construction equipment in Gaza.
Six living hostages are the last set for free under stages one of the ceasefire, which was called for a gradual release of 33 hostages, eight of which are considered dead. Hamas took around 250 hostages and killed about 1.200 people in an attack on Israel in October 2023.
Analysts stated that the early exchange of hostages and prisoners may mean what the two sides are now eager to achieve, as the Trus will collapse due to anxiety before the phase ends next week.
“What we are seeing now is probably a sharp resolution for Phase two,” said Senior Fellow Mirrat Mabrook of the Middle East Institute said.
“But if this happens, there are signs of signs near the end of the conflict,” he told the VOA. “And it’s something like that [Israeli] Prime Minister Netanyahu has said that he is not going to want without canceling Hamas.
It is believed that 70 more captives are believed to be holding half of them. It insists that it will only be the subject in exchange for a permanent end to fight and a complete Israeli contingent from Gaza.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, more than 2 million Palestinians were displaced and more than 48,200 women and children were killed in Israel’s counter -attack for Hamas attack. The Israeli army says that the toll of death including 17,000 terrorists.
