Episode notes
Trump vs. Biden on Palestine
- Donald Trump's anti-Palestinian rhetoric is escalating, surpassing even Biden's in its intensity.
- However, his concrete actions against Palestinians have so far been less impactful than Biden's.
Trump's Displacement Proposal
- Trump suggested displacing 1.5 million Palestinians from Gaza to Jordan and Egypt.
- He wants to "clean out" Gaza and involve Arab nations in building housing elsewhere.
Obstacles to Displacement
- Despite his rhetoric, Trump likely won't displace Palestinians due to Palestinian resistance and Qatar's influence.
- Qatar holds significant power in the situation, including financial ties with Trump's circle.
