Summary

Trump's proposal to take Gaza, displace Palestinians, and develop it as a luxury resort would alienate key US Middle East allies (Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey), risk driving them toward Russia and China, cost billions in reconstruction, require military resources to defeat Hamas, and could ultimately destroy his presidency politically.

    🚨🇺🇸🇵🇸 If Trump's not careful, Gaza could DESTROY his presidency beyond repair 👇🧵 Here’s why

  2. #2

    Over the past week, Trump has repeatedly said that the US plans on ‘taking’ Gaza, kick out all the Palestinians living there, and basically turn it into a luxury beach resort Maybe Trump’s bluffing, but there’s a good chance he’s serious about this

  3. #3

    Trump’s Gaza proposal is obviously morally grotesque, but it’s also politically catastrophic This move would completely upend the US alliance network in the Middle East, which it has SPENT DECADES building up This a dangerous Pandora’s box to open

    Here are the US allies who have PUBLICLY REJECTED Trump’s Gaza plan: 🇪🇬 Egypt 🇯🇴 Jordan 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates 🇶🇦 Qatar 🇹🇷 Turkey

    If Trump deports hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to neighboring countries like Egypt or Jordan, then that will cause a huge political and economic strain If Palestinian resistance groups then form in these countries, Israel will use that as a pretext to attack them

  6. #6

    Even countries that aren’t arm-twisted by Trump into accepting Gazan refugees will be under strong popular pressure to PUSH BACK on this ethnic cleansing Just because they’ve avoided confrontation with the US/Israel so far, doesn’t mean they’ll do so indefinitely

    If Trump puts US allies in a lose-lose situation, then many of them will start looking for ways to jump ship and turn to 🇷🇺 and 🇨🇳 This is pure self-interest. If you want to survive, you can’t afford to rely on a country that will destabilize and discredit you

    “But these countries will never push back, they’re total US puppets,” you write in the comments section. News flash: Many of these countries have spent the past decade hedging their bets and drawing closer to Russia and China Just look at the recent BRICS summit

  9. #9

    So, we’ve established that Trump’s Gaza plan would cause MASSIVE BLOWBACK across the Middle East But it would also cost enormous American blood and treasure For starters, Hamas is far from defeated, so if Trump wants Gaza, he’ll have to fight for it

    Rebuilding Gaza will cost $53 billion, according to UN estimates. Is Trump prepared to spend that kind of money? What about his political allies like Elon Musk? US Congress? American voters? Likes a fool-proof proposal to get everyone in America to hate you

    Conclusion: If Trump’s smart, he’ll drop this stupid and immoral Gaza plan. Instead, he’ll focus on purging the US Deep State and strengthen America’s position in the Western Hemisphere. That’s the only way US can win in multipolar world
