The Guardian view on the future of Gaza: Trump is threatening already frail hopes | Editorial
PAlexinites Back home To the north of Gaza, although few of their homes are still existing. Their hospitals, schools and other basic infrastructure are destroyed. For some, there was no reunification of tears. Others are looking for the bodies of their loved ones. They are looking for hope amid the ruins of their previous lives.
After new threats waving on the horizon. Israel and the United Nations are in a confrontation with the future of UNRA, the Relief Agency for the Palestinians. Israeli law End all cooperation with the agency It is scheduled to enter into force on Thursday – just as the required aid is high in Gaza. Relief experts say that there is no other entity with the ability to provide its residents with long -term support required.
The second number is to bear the ceasefire and hostage deal. Moving to the second stage – in which Israel is supposed to withdraw completely, and enthusiasm is supposed to be its disarmament – will be more difficult. At the same time, there are concerns about The Israeli attack on JeninIn the occupied West Bank, which Israeli officials described as turning in the targets of the war. In Lebanon, the Israeli forces have it They shot 26 people In protest against their constant existence; The deadline for their withdrawal was extended under the ceasefire deal until February 18.
However, the new threat is Donald Trump’s suggestion this weekend that he wants to “clean this whole matter”, with one and a half and a half of the Palestinians. Leave Gaza Temporary or long -term, perhaps for Jordan or Egypt. Given the history of forced displacement, the Palestinians have no reason to believe that they will return at all. This looks like another Nakba. On Monday, US President I paid the idea againAnd according to what was reported, Indonesia was launched Alternative: This is more than just a transient thought. The president’s influence on the anxiety of the Palestinians, saying they can live in a safer and “more comfortable” place. They made their horror. Removing forced gifts does not change the fact that it will be War crime.
These abhorrent comments are music for the ears of the far right in Israel. It may be intended in the first place To help Benjamin Netanyahu keep coalition partners on board. The Israeli Prime Minister – scheduled to meet Mr. Trump at the earliest of next week – refused plans for the “next day” in Gaza, to a large extent that he sought to postpone this day. Take the Palestinians out of the north more difficult now after hundreds of thousands have returned. Egypt and Jordan You don’t want to take them For political and security reasons. The other powerful players have explained their opposition-and Mr. Trump is still hoping for Saudi-Israeli normalization in a broader regional deal. However, his administration may hope that is enough Click on aid It may lead to a smaller transfer inside the area, or perhaps larger anywhere.
Mr. Trump’s proposal does not need to be practical to damage. It is the right of the extremist Israel – which has already raised it by canceling US sanctions on violence West Bank The settlers – and more Palestinian humanity. Trump seems to be seen as an obstacle to real estate development and the major deal that has been discussed long ago, instead of humans with the right to say in their lives. The American commitment to a two -state solution often seemed to be largely theoretically. But it still matters. The Palestinians still need a long -term future in their own state.
