"Palestinian leaders swiftly condemned Trump’s proposal. Hamas issued a statement saying, “We strongly denounce the U.S. president’s remarks aimed at occupying Gaza and expelling our people. His statements are hostile and will only fuel instability in the region.”
The (true delta note: Saudi) kingdom also rejected Trump’s proposal to relocate Gaza’s population, declaring: “We oppose any attempt to transfer Palestinians from their land. Our position on Palestinian rights is non-negotiable.”

Trump kept Gaza relocation plan tightly under wraps, report says
Wall Street Journal reports officials outside Trump’s inner circle were unaware of Gaza relocation plan before meeting with Netanyahu; him calling Gaza 'the Riviera of the Middle East' harks back to failed 2018 real estate pitch to North Korea

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas responds to Trump's statements:
The Palestinian people will not give up their land, and the Gaza Strip is an integral part of Palestine.
We will not allow any violation of our people's rights, for which we have fought for decades and made great sacrifices.
These calls are a serious violation of international law. Peace and stability in the region cannot be achieved without the creation of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the 1967 borders and a two-state solution.

💢 XF: What Trump has proposed for the Palestinian people does not fit the definition of ethnic cleansing, and also represents fresh thinking on the subject.
I'm prepared to debate anyone on this point.
The fake news media is in overdrive. I have to say that it's a shame that the Muslim Brotherhood-Soros Complex has highjacked many layers of the Palestinian cause.
Paying attention to the details of his statements earlier (and to the extent that those statements will have bearing on his later actual actions), several things become clear.
Palestinians who wish to leave, will be able to leave, and return later after rebuilding has taken place.
The US will undertake, in international law, the responsibility of an occupying power in Palestine (Gaza), which is - regardless of any other fact or overarching scenario - a marked improvement to the IDF.
Gaza will be transformed into a place for the "World's People", but the residents there will be mostly Palestinian, but also, like a beach-front Dubai, a global investment center of capital accumulation that will draw in from around the world and the mostly Arab and Muslim Middle-East as well. This last part is key.
Ethnic cleansing involves the removal of a people, without a right of return, in order to make the place ethnically homogeneous in favor of some other people.
Trump proposes three things contra this: many Palestinians will stay and be involved in the reconstruction. Mostly Palestinians will return to live there when the conditions - reconstruction - are suitable. Other than Palestinians, who will remain a majority, people - investors, real estate, entrepreneurs, etc. will be from 'all over the world', which runs contra to the definition of leaving an ethnically homogenous people in place.
The dance we are seeing from the Saudis is critical here to understand. Their condemnation of Trump's statement will merely serve as a bargaining chip, and their support for it, as well as other Gulf Monarchies - especially Qatar (and their role in support for Hamas leadership) - to all be able to invest in Gaza - will materialize quite soon.
There is room for conspiracy here too - that is the role of Qatar in urging Hamas to carry out October 7 in order to lead precisely to this scenario, as I have long put forward as a realistic possibility from the beginning of this catastrophe.
If they were on board with that part, they most certainly did so in order to be in on this part - ' Make Gaza Great Again '.
With their pressure/support - Hamas or Palestinian leadership otherwise, will openly support or quietly acquiesce. Ditto with Mahmoud Abbas (and even more easily).
KSA has a lot more to offer the USA than Qatar, and no doubt MBS's dismissal of Trump's statements fits into their broader bargaining strategy to be included robustly in the reconstruction of Gaza.
Don't hate me for saying it, but in purely HDI - (human developmental index) terms, the conditions for Palestinians will improve upwards from here and improve by orders of magnitude above the PRE October 7 conditions which Israel had disgustingly imposed on the Palestinian people.

Solution for Gaza: Casinos, or Physical Economy?

Lu Shaye, the former Chinese ambassador to France known for a direct style that earned him the label of 'wolf warrior', has been appointed as Beijing’s special representative for European affairs.
European Union authorities were recently notified of Lu’s appointment.
He famously argued that China is now a major player on the world stage and can no longer follow former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping's approach of hiding its capacities and biding its time.

"When we were relatively poor and backward, Western countries looked down upon us in dealing with us. Now, they basically look at us as equals, and in some cases even look up to us.
"A big country should act like a big country, it cannot hide its capacities and bide its time as it had in the past ... If you have grown as big as an elephant, you can no longer hide behind trees."
