Displacement: An Elusive Dream for Trump and Zionism Featured

By Fatma abu Nady February 26, 2025 131

A Jewish nation in the "Middle East," where it has become an actual desire for people who believe in and support the Jewish state project, requires a great deal of time and recognition. According to their beliefs, the biggest goal of the current intense conflict in Gaza is to crush the notion of Palestinian existence by means of murder and expulsion. Even Israelis, religious and nonreligious, think that having a "great and large state" that extends from Egypt to Iraq is necessary to fulfill a divine promise. The American president Donald Trump then took control, sparking media debate regarding the Palestinians' repeated displacement while , overlooking the political, humanitarian, and even the struggle aspects of the rightful owners of the land.

A supposed promise that Donald Trump is trying to fulfill

"Donald Trump"'  rapid and consecutive declarations about his plan to help the Israelis, including his plan to buy Gaza and describe it as a magnificent city that can be invested in, have shown us how insane he is. Not to mention his repeated and unsuccessful suggestions in the media about moving the Palestinians to a number of nations, including Albania, Indonesia, Egypt, and Jordan, as well as some of them to a U.S. state, but the promise has not been accomplished.

Based on biblical interpretations that Muslim religious scholars believe to be untrue, Israeli political doctrine believes that the borders of "Israel" stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates because, according to the Bible, God promised Abraham (peace be upon him) that he would receive the Promised Land from river to river, which refers to the Nile and the Euphrates. Additionally, they believe that the  borders of Greater Israel in the Arab world include extensive regions within Arab nations, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and part of Iraq.

 The Egyptian and Jordanian stance on the emigration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip

Whether in Egypt or Jordan, Egypt has historically strongly rejected any efforts to drive Palestinians from their homelands. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the political leadership reiterated Egypt's position, stating time and again that the suggested solutions would never include the expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

Egypt believes that both the Palestinian people's right to return to their homeland and their human rights are being violated by the issue of forced displacement. In addition, it is associated with reaching balanced and all-encompassing peace in the area, and Gaza and the West Bank continue to be essential components of the Palestinian territories where the Palestinians aim to establish their  independent  state.

 The president of Egypt, "Abdel Fattah el-Sisi," said "the Palestinian issue is not just a matter of displacement or expulsion, but a matter of rights to land and homeland".

The Egyptian people are vital for defending the political leadership and opposing any efforts to undermine the Palestinian cause at this critical moment. The Egyptian people must realize that transferring Palestinians or attempting to curtail their rights will only make matters worse and increase their agony.

 Under "President Sisi" , Egypt's political leadership has demonstrated a strong defensive stance for the Arab and Islamic countries' worries and fighting for regional stability and rejecting efforts to end the Palestinian issue. The Egyptian leadership similarly takes a tough stance against any efforts to alter the Palestinian reality and looks for peaceful answers to the region's issues. It is crucial that the Egyptian people support this leadership at this point in order to keep Egypt's consistent stance on the issue.

In his response, "King Abdullah" stated that "achieving just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution is the only way to ensure the region's security and stability," emphasizing "the pivotal role of the United States in supporting peace efforts." He also underlined that "Jordan is for Jordanians and Palestine is for Palestinians," as stated by his foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, in front of Trump at the White House.

In addition to emphasizing that "the interests of Jordan and Jordanians lie in resolving the Palestinian issue on Palestinian soil and not displacing Palestinians to Jordan," he clarified that the two-state solution, which protects the rights of the Palestinian people, must be put into practice in order to achieve just peace. The King of Jordan has stated that his nation will receive 2,000 ill children from Gaza, but this does not mean that he want to implement the American president's transfer plan. "Jordan has been working to provide humanitarian aid to the people of the sector since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza," al-Safadi explained, adding that it has dispatched two field hospitals there and evacuated Palestinians who needed care that was unavailable in Gaza. He refuted the idea that this action was taken to relieve American pressure on Jordan, stating that the country would not accept the two thousand children on its own but would instead disperse them to other nations, thereby solidifying Jordan's opposition to displacement .

Netanyahu's insistence on eliminating the Palestinians either through killing or displacement

Despite all of the destruction he wreaked over more than 14 months, Netanyahu was unable to drive out the Palestinians to stop the massacre war. He is, however, trying to find different approaches to try to eradicate the Palestinians, such displacing them in order to end the Palestinian struggle. Donald Trump, the president of the United States, is the person he found that sparked his interest in the idea of a Jewish state. However, one of the most well-known statements made by Palestinians, "We will rise above it or we will rise from it!!" and the deeply rooted Palestinian position of remaining and dying on the land clashed with the two.

 Israeli creativity is making every effort to force Palestinians to leave their homes, in addition to the official Palestinian position, which is represented by the Palestinian Authority and flatly denies the issue of displacement. Their goal is to replicate the 1984 migration in a more sophisticated and covert way. Since UNRWA was first created to aid and employ refugees, one strategy is "voluntary migration" first, followed by "the abolition of UNRWA" second. Given that UNRWA's presence helps the Palestinians remain resilient and survive on their land, it appears that Israel's intention to eliminate it will increase pressure on Palestinians to migrate.

Voluntary migration is one of Israel's means to displace Palestinians

Israel has been planning to transfer Palestinians for as long as possible; this plan didn't come up immediately or as a result of the war. Israel is currently making efforts to drive Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Tel Aviv is committed to the U.S. plan to take over the Palestinian sector and drive out its citizens, announcing the creation of a special agency for the "voluntary migration" of Gaza residents .

Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, had declared his plan to carry out US President Donald Trump's suggestion that Palestinians be moved from Gaza to other nations. Since Gaza is reduced to rubble, Israel has been ready to destroy everything in order to drain the Gazans and drive them out. Removal Palestinian consciousness is one of the occupation's policies . According to their claims, the Israeli occupation has chosen to create a directorate within the Israeli Ministry of Defense that focuses on the voluntary movement and departure of Gaza Strip residents, providing them with a means of assimilating into ideal communities. In order to encourage Palestinians to leave and seek safety and a better life in their own opinion, the travel plan offers benefits such services, a comprehensive package, and guarantees for exit in all directions: by air, sea, wild .  by air, land, and sea .

The cancellation of the UNRWA agency is one of the means of pressuring Palestinians towards migration

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has been working to improve the human welfare and development of Palestinian refugees since 1950. These refugees are "those persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period between June 1946 and May 1948, and who lost their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1984 war"; as of 2025, thousands of them have lost both.

 The organization works in Gaza, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem. Established in 1949 by General Assembly Resolution 302, UNRWA is primarily supported by voluntary donations from UN member states.

Falsehoods and misinformation concerning UNRWA's personnel and activities have always existed. Since the war in Gaza began on October 7, this has gotten worse.

The established infrastructure of UNRWA, which employs 30,000 people, the majority of whom are Palestinian refugees, and directly oversees essential public services like schools, health facilities, and social protection, is actually unmatched in the United Nations, as is its cost-effectiveness .

Prior to the war, it was estimated that over a million Palestinian refugees were living in extreme poverty, which means they couldn't afford their basic food needs. UNRWA has been providing food, medical, and financial assistance because the people of Gaza are fighting to survive in extremely harsh and challenging circumstances, UNRWA's capacity to offer any form of aid has been significantly impacted since the start of the conflict.

The American president eventually started to change his mind about his plans to uproot people and instead made suggestions to promote Palestinian migration out of the Gaza Strip. If we go back to the start of the conflict, the Israeli government has been committing and threatening to drive Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip since October 7. In fact, their first practical step was to drive the northerners southward in order to deport them to Egypt. However, because the state dispute has been going on since 1948-1967, the dream of a Jewish state never came to fact. However, the assault on Gaza altered the equation and the distribution of power, demonstrating the inadequacy of the Israeli government and its backers it became dust .
