Trump is doubling down on his plan to own and redevelop Gaza; as I predicted, he’s threatening to cut off aid to Egypt and Jordan if they don’t go along. King Abdullah will be meeting with him in the next few days. His survival as the head of the Jordanian state is on the line, so they will have lots to talk about.
Trump is threatening to destabilize the entire Middle East. He’s arguably even more extreme than the Israeli far right. And make no mistake, this could get worse; if he somehow succeeds with his ethnic cleansing scheme, the precedent will be set, and the West Bank will be next.
Call it the no state solution–the best way to destroy American influence in the Middle East that you could possibly imagine.
