Opinion | Population Transfers Sanctioned by America? It's on the Table.
Briefly

President Trump's controversial proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan poses significant implications for regional politics. In light of his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, this suggestion may dramatically deepen tensions, particularly among Arab nations. The historical context of displacement resonates deeply with Palestinians, and such a move would be deemed morally reprehensible and destabilizing to peace talks aimed at normalizing ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The proposal not only risks igniting further conflict but could also reinforce far-right ideologies within Netanyahu's coalition, ultimately jeopardizing U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region.
If the two leaders take this idea seriously in their meeting, it will almost certainly boost hostility to Israel in the region and jeopardize U.S.-sponsored peace efforts.
A large-scale population transfer of Palestinians would likely close the door on a three-way U.S.-Israel-Saudi deal for the foreseeable future.
