He wants the USA to be the leader of a coalition of ME countries to stop fighting and start building up their area. Sorta like Dubai. The UAE has turned the desert into an international focus. To be able to stop the negative Hamas in Gaza and allow free access for development, Iran must be neutralized.

I do have a question for Trump, if he deports all the Palestinians to Arab lands, who is going to build the Gaza dream? Could he mean deport all the Hamas criminals, sorta like here.

Since the U.N. and a vast majority of countries in the General Assembly recognize Palestine along pre-1967 borders (U.N.Resolution 242), the Palestinian people own Gaza and the West Bank plus East Jerusalem. It is their property and for them to decide who re-builds it.

It is their legal trillions in LNG off the Gaza coast.

The Palestinians need new elections and perhaps all the Palestinians exiled to Lebanon would choose to return? Hamas would win an election in a landslide.

I would like to see China/Russia come in to Gaza to rebuild how ever the Palestinian people choose. Russia could handle the LNG deposits and the proceeds would make Palestine a very rich state.

New hospitals, schools, universities, homes, shops. This is what they deserve for enduring 70 years of living in the largest open-air concentration camp on Earth.

Trump needs a weekend at Camp David with Professor Jeffery Sachs, Col. MacGregor, Larry Johnson etc. to receive an honest tutorial on the history of the region. Throw in an hour on the 1953 CIA coup of the democratically elected leader of Iran to ‘splain to Mr. Trump why Iran has hated the U.S. over decades.

Then pray he goes back to The White House with his head on straight and starts whistling a different tune.

The people of Iran DO NOT hate the USA, the Islamic government does. The Mullahs are just barely holding on to power from election to election. There is a large secular movement there that is being clobbered by the Islamic government, but not for long.

"It is their property and for them to decide who re-builds it"? Or who blows it up? Russia could handle the LNG deposits? So why haven't they? Or China? How come Trump has been the only world leader to express a desire to help the Gaza people, instead of re-arming them? It would be nice if new hospitals and schools would be built as something other than a cover for rockets, missiles and weaponry so the Iran proxies can raise hell.

Nope. He specified "all" and defined that to be 1.7M or 1.8M devastated souls.

Forced relocations of people never go well. Just ask the Cherokee.

"Israel" now demands that Ireland and Spain take them for daring to call what they're doing genocide. All good men are against "Israel"! Even many Jews.

So? Are you a good man? Or just another overblown ego?

Greater Israel's not going to survive without bringing in millions of Black Africans. Considering their long involvement in the slave trade, this is simply the right thing to do and the world must demand it.
