Trump Reveals Plan For The Ethnic
Cleansing Of Gaza
Ethnic
Cleansing Feared As Trump Asks Jordan, Egypt To Gaza Residents | Dawn

Trump
Wants to ‘Clean Out That Whole Thing,’ Meaning the People of Gaza
Says he is
asking Jordan and Egypt to take as many as 1.5 million Gazans in what
would be an historic act of the crime of ethnic cleansing, reports Joe
Lauria.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he has asked King Abdullah II of
Jordan to help “clean out” more than a million people from Gaza.
“You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out
that whole thing,” Trump said he told Abdullah in a phone conversation.
“Over the centuries it’s had many, many conflicts. And I don’t know,
something has to be done.”
The president said he would speak with Egyptian leader Gen. Abdel
Fattah el-Sisi on Sunday to ask the same thing.
“I said to [Abdullah], ‘I’d love you take on more,’ because I’m looking
at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess,”
Trump told reporters on board Air Force One on Saturday. “I’d like
Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people.”
Egypt has repeatedly told Israel since the latter’s genocide began in
October 2023 that it would not take Palestinians from Gaza. A majority
of Jordan’s population are already descendants of Palestinians
displaced by Israel beginning in 1948. Jordan’s foreign minister, Ayman
Safadi, said Jordan’s opposition to such a plan was “firm and
unwavering,” Reuters reported.
The Jordanian readout of the call with Trump said that Abdullah
“stressed the pivotal role of the U.S. in pushing all sides to work
towards achieving peace, security, and stability for all in the
region.”
Just five days into his second term as president, Trump left no doubt
about what his intentions are for Gaza.
He tried to present what he was saying as humanitarian concern, but
only the most ill-informed person about Gaza would not see that he is
talking about committing the crime of forcibly relocating a population.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention “prohibits the forced
transfer of protected people out of or into occupied territory” and
customary international law considers involuntary population transfers
to be illegal.
A Demolition Site

“It’s literally a demolition site,” Trump said of Gaza, which
essentially has undergone an Israeli urban renewal plan with the people
still living in the buildings.
“Almost everything is demolished and people are dying there, so I’d
rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at
a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change,”
Trump said.
Building housing “at a different location” means they will never return
to Gaza.
On Monday, speaking like the New York real estate mogul that he is,
Trump referred to Gaza as “a phenomenal location.”
“That place has to be rebuilt in a different way,” he said.
“You know, Gaza is interesting, it’s a phenomenal location, on the
sea,” he went on with a slight smile. “The best weather, you know,
everything is good. It’s like some beautiful things could be done, but
it’s very interesting.”
These comments are in line with the most extreme sentiments of Israeli
leaders who want Gaza cleansed of Arabs and repopulated with
Israelis.
“Autocrats do not care about human life: they think in the aggregate
and see people as assets to exploit,” said New York University
historian Ruth Ben-Chiat on X. “A clean out, in autocratic terms, often
means mass death and deportation.” (Saints, the X post link
below was not working at the time I posted this. Instead it was
redirecting to a Julia Davis. Maybe technical difficulties or
maybe, Elon Musk the owner of X did not like the comment about his new boss Donald
Trump?)

Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s finance minister called Trump’s plan a
“wonderful idea.” He said “only outside-the-box thinking over new
solutions will bring … peace and security,” the Financial Times
reported.
Francesca Albanese, the U.N.’s special rapporteur for the Occupied
Territories, said, “Ethnic cleansing is anything but an ‘out-of
the box’ thinking … No matter how one packages it … It is
illegal, immoral and irresponsible.”

On Monday, Trump also said he was “not confident” the ceasefire would
hold. On Saturday he released delivery of 2,000 lb. bunker buster bombs
that Israel has used on civilian areas.
The Biden administration had delayed delivery as an attempt to show
“concern” for civilians during the election run.
