Earlier this month, the president said he favored taking control of Gaza and displacing the Palestinian population of the devastated seaside enclave. Over the course of several days, he repeatedly waved aside objections to the idea, including flat-out rejections from the leaders of Egypt and Jordan.
At the time, Mr. Trump said that he would be able to persuade the leaders of those two countries — and potentially others in the region — to accept the Palestinians through the force of his will.
“They say they’re not going to accept,” Mr. Trump said. “I say they will.”
But in a telephone interview with a Fox News host on Friday, Mr. Trump seemed to concede that his efforts at persuasion had failed and the refusal by Egypt and Jordan to accept displaced Gazans would make the idea unworkable.
All of this was just a distraction from what’s happening inside the US right now.

The Art of the Deal
And nobody ever considered Trump an artist.
Except of the con.
Was what I was thinking, but even in that aspect he lacks artistry, hrs a con man
It’s almost like the problems are bigger that even the POTUS. Who knew?
This is trumps “peace making” genius. Completely fuck one side over so they have to regroup and come back later to the surprise of no one.
Once again proof that there is no difference between Trump and Biden. Biden tried doing this quietly during Israel’s invasion of Rafah. Trump said the quiet part out loud.
Both times the plan halted because Egypt and Jordan refused to play along.
So fucking stupid.
Evidence? Biden was a consistent albeit not forceful voice calling for restraint.
By bypassing congress to send bombs.
Biden was no doubt in Israel’s camp. However, he was still a moderate in that camp pushing for restrain, humanitarian aid, etc.
Trump has essentially been encouraging Bibi to take off the gloves and pound Gaza.
Different rhethoric. Same actions. Moderate genocide by the way.
Another reminder that Gaza looks the way it does 100% because of Biden. Nothing has happened under Trump so far except a “ceasefire”.
The cease fire was primarily Biden’s victory although really the war had reached a stage where there was a high chance it would have emerged without pressure.
The consistent pressure by the Biden administration also demonstrably forced Israel to show some restraint.
Estimates suggest roughly 50,000 Gazans died. An absolute tragedy but if Trump were in charge, I’d bet that it’ll be much higher.
No the ceasefire was all Trump. Biden did nothing to achieve it. It came directly after Trump sent Steve Witkoff.
ah you’re one of the fundamentalists that help get trump elected
Oh fuck off
