The Gaza Trump plan holds the hopeful deal in Saudi Arabia

President Trump described Ibrahim’s agreements in 2020, which established official relations between Israel and four Arab countries as one of the largest achievements of foreign policy in his first term.

Now he is following his long-term goal is to get the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to join the agreements-but he may have dealt with a serious setback. Mr. Trump’s proposal to transfer all millions of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and then rebuild the pocket, as “Riviera in the Middle East” has found some people who need to conclude the deal.

The idea of ​​Gaza was quickly rejected by the Arab countries, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Gulf force issued a pre -dawn statement immediately after Mr. Trump put the proposal on Tuesday evening alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel in Washington.

The Kingdom made it clear that it is because of its request that a Palestinian state be established for the first time before the normalization of relations with Israel. Preparation, which the Saudis have Insist The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said last year, “It is not implemented and is not subject to one solution.” statement Wednesday.

The statement directly contradicts Mr. Trump, who told the correspondents in Washington this The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had dropped the pre -condition. One of the leading Saudi royalists said what the American leader will be a “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza.

Through the “cleaning” of Gaza “cleaning”, Mr. Trump gained little, but doubt and anger in the Arab countries. The efforts made by the American administration to soften the situation with Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, who indicates that Ghazan will not only be transferred, did not do much to calm them.

The question of the Palestinian state is at the heart of the controversy over Mr. Trump’s proposal in Gaza. For many Arabs, the displacement of the Palestinians is a curse because it will tear their hopes in an independent state.

Egypt and Jordan, the countries proposed by Mr. Trump can be persuaded to seize Ghazan, publicly remained designed that they will never accept a great displacement for the Palestinians. Officials, journalists and analysts in both countries said that history spoke about itself: when the Palestinians were forced from their homes, they were not allowed to return.

Since the war in Gaza, both countries have been taking medical attention. Egypt accepted at least 100,000 medical and others who fled the adjacent pocket. Jordan, which is considered many of its population of Palestinian origin, treats dozens of injured from Gaza.

Abdelm Munam Says Ali, a political analyst and writer of a supportive column, said that participating in any forced or permanent displacement of the Palestinians from Gaza will be “morally and legally and legally”.

Given the broad Saudi population’s support for the Palestinians, it will be difficult for the government to accept any agreement that does not address their aspirations in the state. The popular anger in the kingdom over the war, and now that Mr. Trump’s suggestion to empty Gaza has complicated the possibilities of an agreement with Israel, which was already difficult to withdraw.

Before Mr. Trump took office for his second term, there was a reason for the humble optimism that the Saudi normalization of Israel might move forward. A cease-fire Between Israel and the Palestinian group, Hamas was reached on the eve of Mr. Trump’s inauguration on January 20. For years, the new American president has strengthened a good business relationship with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the actual ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

But now, it seems that some strains appear in that relationship.

Prince Torke Al -Fashial, the former head of espionage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the former ambassador of the United States, told CNN on Wednesday that Mr. Trump “will get permission from the leadership here” not only about the lack of wisdom in what he proposes but also the injustice of “ethnic cleansing” .

As if he was confirming his point of view, he wore a Kafiyeh black and white examination Instead of his traditional white headscarf.

The four Arab governments that took place Ibrahim agreements The action of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan – despite criticism that they were abandoning what was for decades on the Arab pre -condition of any relations with Israel, and the establishment of a Palestinian state.

When Bahrain and the UAE became the first two countries signing the agreements, the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, described it as “stabbing in the back of the Palestinian people.” Mr. Abbas rules parts of the West Bank occupied by Israel.

After 15 months of the war in Gaza, the angry Arab audiences are unlikely to accept any similar concessions now and the Israeli government led by Mr. Netanyahu is strongly opposed to the Palestinian state.

“If normalization with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia depends on progress towards a Palestinian state even by millimeter, this will not happen. Israeli Finance Minister Bezallil Sottic said by the Israeli army radio last month.

The Saudis sat Historical signature From Ibrahim’s agreements, but when the deal expanded to include Morocco and Sudan, the Saudi Crown Prince is called Israel a “A possible ally” In an interview 2022 with the Atlantic Ocean.

In September 2023, the Crown Prince became the first leader of the Kingdom to publicly discuss the possibility of establishing relations with Israel in Exchange of defense With the United States and help in developing a civil nuclear program. He did not mention the Palestinian state as a condition.

In an interview with Fox News at the time, the Crown Prince said this agreement requires a “good life for the Palestinians”. The indicators at that time indicated that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can also be ready to expand its insistence on a Palestinian state before falsifying relations with Israel.

Then the Hamas -led attack on Israel came on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people. The 15 -month Israeli military campaign that followed the killing of more than 46,000 people in Gaza, according to local health officials, who do not distinguish between civilians and fighters. The war destroyed the densely populated and poor lands.

Since the war, the Saudi government has turned its accent, saying that the region needs to be on an irreversible path to the state for the Palestinians.

“We have some red lines,” said Prince Khalid bin Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to the United Kingdom. “In order to end the last 75 years of the pain and suffering caused by one problem, it must include a Palestinian state.”

Mr. Trump and the Saudi leadership are likely to place the maximum points of negotiation, and they will turn at some point to reach a compromise.

Many people in the four countries that have natural relations with Israel were terrified of the war in Gaza and their children I needed publicly Agreement. While the freedom of the association and the gathering is still very restricted in Bahrain, the government allowed the protests.

Although Egypt and Jordan were subjected to peace with the Israelis for decades, their fans have never prepared for Israel, and relations were very tense from the war.

Egyptian foreign diplomatic officials told Cairo this week that their rejection of Ghazan’s displacement was fixed. In public places, they repeated that Egypt focused on setting an agreement to the ceasefire into effect and providing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians there.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Egypt said in a statement on Thursday that Egypt “confirms its full rejection of any proposal or concept aimed at eliminating the Palestinian issue by uprooting or removing their historical homeland and removing it, whether on a temporary or permanent basis.”

Political analysts close to governments in Egypt and Jordan have suggested that the leaders of the two countries try to persuade Mr. Trump to accept an alternative plan to restore Gaza, which involves assistance and assistance from their countries.

“Egypt and Jordan have historically participated in the Palestinian issue, and it should be an integral part of any solution,” said Khaled Okasha, director of the Egyptian Center for Thinking and Strategic Studies, which is the government alignment research reservoir. “But not the person that Trump is proposing.”
