Many gaskets – descendants of people who escaped or expelled from their homes in 1948 during the creation of the State of Israel – the Palestinians period call the Nakba, Arabic word for the catastrophe.
The thought of the other will be too painful for many, and they will cling to their reduced life in the remains of gas with fierce determination.
For the Palestinians who dream of their own condition, together with Israel, the loss of its part will feel amputation.
Gaza has been physically separated from the western shore since 1948. Previous talks as well as “Peace vision” in 2020 included plans for tunnels or railways that can link them.
Now Trump basically tells the Palestinians to abandon the gas once and for all.
Although he does not seem to stand for the forced deportation of civilians – this is against international law – Trump clearly encourages the Palestinians to leave.
Palestinian officials have already accused Israel of blocking tens of thousands of caravans, which could help gasans remain in less damaged parts of the territory, while the reconstruction takes place elsewhere.
Arab countries, which, according to Trump, should accept as much as 1.8 million refugees, mostly Egypt and Jordan, expressed outrage.
Both have enough problems without this extra load.
