Things were starting to look better for Gaza - especially with the re-opening of the Rafah border crossing.
And then Tr_ mp got involved, and expanded on a fleeting comment a few days ago by saying the USA should take over the sovereign land of Gaza, force the Palestinians whose land it is elsewhere, and turn it into a version of the Riviera for rich people ...
As mentioned in one of the links I provide below, this seems ... psychotic (and I have read articles with opinions Tr_ mp may have a major medical crisis before the end of his term, something I have also wondered about, but I've not found any medical opinions on that - other than Tr_ mp’s mental state [although there are also journalistic sources commenting on that, as with this today]).
Tr_ mp really, really, REALLY wants a war/expansion of US territory - like his hero, H_t l_r, and so he can feel powerful and delude himself about legacy etc, and also, at some level, possibly because he knows external wars have often been used as a distraction from internal problems. This is where the so-called “American exceptionalism” propaganda - and the immature duck shoving of responsibility of other nations - rubbish leads.
