I'm trying to decide if Netanyahu suggested this to him or if it's a surprise? What's more likely? On the one hand I can understand the idea that Netanyahu after committing genocide and wiping out as many Palestinians as he could is looking for a way to push the blame and the responsibility to someone else. I could absolutely see that. Especially the financial responsibility. On the other hand fascist strongman usually don't like others coming in and getting the symbolic benefits of what they achieved. I really can't decide.

Most likely Trump proposed the idea and it fit with Bibi's plans to get rid of the Palestinians, he just doesn't have to kill them. I'm sure some combination of Trump, Kushner and/or other developers made plans for this "Riviera of the Middle East". Probably building models right now if they weren't already.

To Trump there are no negatives to this plan since the plan is to make money. All he has to do is strongarm another Middle Eastern country, or two or three, to take the Palestinians. He can't conceive how this will affect the Middle East in general because he doesn't understand or care.

It fits on with what I thought would happen when all the genocide Joe people were insisting things couldn't get worse. Netanyahu has a direct interest in involving the US as deeply as possible into his conflict (yes it can get deeper) while maintaining a stranglehold on US politics . Ultimately this is a short term play. He helped Trump win , but Trump is destabilizing the US to the extent that long-term Israel is going to lose its one absolute ally.

Biden also tried to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of Gaza by influencing Egypt. We're still on the same, genocidal Zionist track as we have been.
