Trump’s Gaza takeover won’t happen. But it has already changed the face of Israeli politics | Yair Wallach

President Donald Trump 's approach to the Gaza Strip is difficult to make sense.

Trump embraced the hard-right Israeli vision of ethnically cleansing Gaza , through a forced “relocation” of its 2.2 million Palestinian residents.

David Ben-Gurion oversaw the permanent expulsion and dispossession of two-thirds of Palestinians , in the Nakba of 1948 .

Opinion polls showed that Israelis are resolutely opposed to an immediate return to hostilities.

Only 3% of Israeli Jews rejected the plan as unacceptable and immoral’ The ethnic cleansing of Gaza would require carnage and atrocities.

Israel ’s peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan are unlikely to survive.
