US President Donald Trump's proposal to resettle Gaza's population would only be temporary, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said.

 

If you believe that you believe anything

I believe the walkback has been walked back.

 

I suspect Rubio will be the first to leave the cabinet. First with the tarrifs, he was saying it was just a business tactic, nothing to worry about. Then Trump looked bad by appearing to cave in to mighty Canada and Mexico. Trump doubled down today on Gaza, after Rubio appeared to back off on claims.

 

As one commentator noted, when Trump announced this lunatic plan, he was reading from a prepared speech. Some other lunatic, or room of lunatics, cooked up this idea.

 

The next issue for Rubio will be US development aid. USAID hasn't exactly been shut down; its moved under the Department of State. Rubio believes in international aid, to further the aims of the American government, which is not the same as "no aid". Therein is the conflict. When will he flounce, given he might be eyeing up 2028.

 

A Gaza evacuation won't actually happen. The IDF can't make it happen. What are they going to do? Burn the Gazans out? There is nothing left to burn.

 

There will be a lot of churn in the next few years. Chaos. Plenty of things will get undone, because its easy to undo. Gettng constructive things done? Nah. Trump 1.0 never commissioned a single construction project, not a single road, bridge.

 

Allies, either current, former, soon to former, erstwhile, will be looking at this, and think, he'll be dead any day, and none of this will count. But its an opportunity to take advantage of America. If you are going to take advantage of America, counter intuitively, now is the time, with the kids running it.

 

Stupidity will be a running theme

Plus zero recognition of the Israeli Settlements in the West Bank (now approx 700.000 Israelis) and the ongoing killing and infrastructure destruction by Israeli forces and Settlers. trump is not offering a "solution" to the Israeli / Palestinian conflict just seeking opportunities to enrich his family.

How will he enrich anyone? I dare say every bank will give that place a wide wide berth for fear of legal action and worse.

 

Its simply a Supid Policy, to which he has given no thought about.

Your likely correct, but maybe he can convince some State or a multibillionaire acquaintance or indeed himself
