President Donald Trump met at the White House Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where Trump again suggested ethnically cleansing Gaza of its Palestinian population. Trump has already mused about moving Gaza’s population to Jordan and Egypt, which those countries have flatly rejected, but on Tuesday he went even further and said the United States should “own” Gaza and develop it into a seaside tourist destination. “Nothing has been more destabilizing for the region over the last eight decades than the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israel, and nobody at any level is going to sign up for a continuation of that,” says Palestinian American analyst Yousef Munayyer, who calls Trump’s plan “ethically and morally repugnant.” We also speak with former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy, who says Israeli society is currently “giddy with excitement” over Trump’s presidency. But he adds that “perhaps Israel’s greatest Achilles’ heel is if it actually falls for the idea that America is all-powerful.”
