Adam Milstein: Approach Trump Proposal With Jewish Pragmatism
Briefly

During Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to the White House in February 2025, President Trump proposed an audacious plan to take over Gaza and develop it as the 'Riviera of the Middle East.' This plan included relocating Gaza's 1.7 million residents to Egypt or Jordan, raising questions about the logistics and permanence of such an action. While Netanyahu hailed the plan, international figures and local leaders expressed outrage, fearing it would constitute war crimes. Trump's insistence on the relocation being a permanent measure intensified global concern regarding this approach to Middle Eastern stability.
