Who is behind the ‘Trump Plan’ for the relocation of Gazans abroad? And more…

Peloni:  Baum presents a very revealing analysis, and as he notes, it is based on more than just observations.

Breaking: *The New Deal of the Century* – Who is behind the ‘Trump Plan’ for the relocation of Gazans abroad?

Let’s put it this way: Not Trump. Nor any other American factor. Not only that – it was promoted, and even began to be implemented under the Biden administration. Yes. But first – to the essence: *The New Deal of the Century*, as it can be called, stands on five legs:

1. Security – Israeli control of Gaza.
2. Demographic – Encouraging and incentivizing the relocation movement of the Gaza population in other countries.
3. Political – Creating an axis of Arab-Israeli states, to crush Iranian regional hegemony.
4. Economic – International investments in the order of trillions of dollars (yes!) in the new Middle East, with an emphasis on Gaza.
5. Perception – A continuous paradigm shift in the consciousness of the remaining Gaza population and the Arab world. These are the main details of the plan, which I already addressed a few months ago (Retsev): Since Israeli security control over Gaza is a red line; since the majority of the population of the Gaza Strip currently supports terrorism; and since the terrorist organizations use the Gazan population as a human shield for the purpose of the war on Israel, it is therefore proposed – * Relocation: transferring the majority of its population abroad. * Encouraging the immigration of members of other religions or ethnicities to the Gaza Strip, Jews, Christians, and others. * Diverting investments worth hundreds of billions of dollars from international financial and state bodies in order to transform the Strip (and Sinai) from a distressed area into a high-tech and tourism pearl. * Involving Arab and other countries in the development process, in order to support the plan. * Within the framework of the agreement – complete Israeli security control in the Strip. * Feasibility of regional changes within the framework of concluding a new comprehensive agreement that will change the division into countries of the ‘Sykes-Picot’ agreements (which were changed de facto anyway). * This is in parallel with another agreement with Saudi Arabia, which joins and supplements the ‘Abraham Accords’. And for more details, as I received from international sources alongside details that have already been published:

Chapter 1: Relocation and diversification of the Gaza population.

[I should note that some of the details in the post have already been published by Trump and Netanyahu. The article was written before Netanyahu took office, and it contains important conceptual and operational additions that have not yet been published.] Relocating most of Gaza’s population abroad is beneficial in several ways:

1. The obvious – reducing the number of Gazans directly means reducing the strength of resistance to Israel and the security risk to Israeli residents.
2. Since the territory is supposed to remain under Israeli security control, relocating most of its population minimizes the risk to Israeli security forces who will actually be in Gaza.
3. A central result of the process will be de facto Israeli control of the education system (and religion) in Gaza, which will allow for the reduction of some of the most important engines of hatred of Israel.
4. Reducing the population makes it possible to reduce the area inhabited there, and essentially create a very wide ‘perimeter’ that will separate the population of Gaza from Israel.
5. As Gaza’s population becomes smaller, it will increasingly emerge from the state of distress and neglect that exists in many parts of it today, since the investment in it will be divided among fewer people. This is both in terms of infrastructure and services per resident, and in terms of per capita income.
6. At the same time, as a result, it will be possible to expand and diversify the population mix in the Gaza Strip. Where will the population be moved? Mainly – to Canada, Malaysia, and Indonesia, to which a huge Palestinian population has already moved, in numbers much larger than those published, and the hand is outstretched – there and in other countries. Egypt and Jordan are also on the agenda – although they are talking about lower numbers , with the main goal of their participation in the agreement not as a significant place of refuge for Gazans – but mainly as a principled Arab statement in favor of the agreement. How? We will see soon. *

Chapter 2: ‘Rehabilitating Gaza’ – a complete paradigm shift

In parallel with the above, actions and incentives are required to keep the Gazan population that will remain there away from turning to terrorism or supporting it. The right way to do this is a complete paradigm shift:

from a needy and backward population with the main characteristic of war refugees – to a population with a Western standard of living, alongside creating a new image as an advanced and luxurious place, by transforming it into a high-tech and international tourism center.

To this end, plans were used in which hundreds of billions of dollars were supposed to be invested in Gaza, as follows, which aim to create that same paradigm shift.

When Gaza becomes a modern place that looks more like the stock exchange area in the city of Ramallah and not like a refugee camp, and alongside the changes mentioned above – the expected result is a cultural change (which will be expressed in the medium/long term).

A basic condition for the success of such a plan – the consent and involvement of the important Arab countries in its implementation. This was true in the Biden administration, and it is still true in the Trump administration – which aims to complete the Abraham Accords and receive the Nobel Peace Prize for the Middle East.

To this end, a presentation of the rehabilitation of Gaza and its transformation into a modern and prosperous place in the style of Dubai is required, which was previously a rundown place, and within a relatively few years has become a model to emulate.

If along the way, most of Gaza’s population voluntarily leaves? – Who cares.

Presenting the plan and the agreement surrounding it as the lifeline of Gaza, which is now uninhabitable – will allow the Arab countries to be active partners in the agreement, and will make it easier for them to manipulate domestic public opinion, which until now has forced them to condition every agreement with Israel – on a Palestinian state.

To the extent that the move is successful, an economic and perceptual change in Gaza will allow for a further reduction in the interest that Arab public opinion abroad (and in any case – the Arab leadership) shows in Gaza, which should not be different from the level of interest they show in another city in Indonesia.

For this purpose, the understanding is that a *unique* economic plan is required for Gaza.

This is either a BOT model, in which the Arab countries will not contribute to the reconstruction of Gaza but will invest in it, and will recoup their investment later, while, among other things, the population that wishes to integrate into it will be subject to Western education with all that it implies (see on this in @kobbybarda .  There is also the model of transforming Dubai from another hardened Arab region into a model to emulate, by declaring it a tax-exempt free trade zone, and other models, some of which will probably be incorporated into the general plan, depending on developments.

To the best of my knowledge, Trump’s statement tonight that the US will take ownership of Gaza is a revolutionary idea that did not appear in Netanyahu’s original plan!

Bottom line: The more disconnected Gaza is from its past, the easier it will be for it to build a new future. *

Chapter 3: The Comprehensive Agreement, Saudi Arabia-Emirates Qatar-Kuwait and more, and who is behind it:

As mentioned, these are several agreements that come together to form a *new deal of the century*, some of which have already been implemented in practice, as we will see.

The mastermind behind them – as I have already published in the past – is the one who conceived the idea of the land bridge from India to Europe via Israel; the idea of the expanded East Med – from Qatar in the Gulf and Saudi Arabia via Israel to Europe; the ‘Abraham Accords’; and this is not Trump. This is Netanyahu.

And not from an assessment – but knowledge from sources close to senior government officials.

In summary (expanded in response to the post):

• The East Med pipeline, which was planned in the previous decade from Israel to Europe, and through which energy and internet will be transferred from Israel, Greece and Cyprus to Europe and vice versa, and which Netanyahu led – was expanded by him after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, which led to new record demands for gas and oil from Europe.
• Those who can supply European consumption are the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia, which are interested in extending the pipeline route so that it passes from them to Israel (precisely due to its stability and energy reserves, alongside Netanyahu’s ‘big head’ who is promoting it at record speed) and from there to Europe in the original outline.
• Besides the huge revenues expected of them, they also want to free themselves from dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, which is controlled by Iran. Netanyahu, for his part, is making the advancement of the outline conditional on a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia – an agreement that was already supposed to be concluded under Biden, if not for October 7, which was scheduled for precisely this purpose – preventing the agreement that was supposed to create a new Middle East axis between the Arab countries and Israel, on the back of the armless Iranian octopus.

Netanyahu is not resting on his laurels, and has already worked to promote a land bridge from India to Europe via Israel, which Biden was also supposed to inaugurate. However, here too, the one who conceived and led it was not Biden, but Netanyahu – when he walked barefoot on the beach alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Israel in 2017.

Yes, yes. As I have previously published, part of the land bridge – from the Gulf and Saudi Arabia to Israel – began to be built on Nov. 22, Immediately after Netanyahu’s election victory, and now it is already an established fact that Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Egypt, and Jordan – also benefit from its existence. The vision of a direct train from India to Europe via Israel and Lebanon and from there to Europe (with an underground passage to Cyprus.

An option via Syria will also be examined, subject to the conduct of the new government) which is supposed to serve India, which is competing with China – on the one hand, and open new markets to Europe – on the other, and as I published at the time, already seems more realistic today. All of this is worth trillions of dollars, and it changes the order in the Middle East: from a multi-armed Iran and a shrinking Israel – to a multi-armed Israel and a shrinking Iran. Security, political, and economic. And most importantly – it loses the effectiveness of the threat of nuclear weapons against Israel. Using such weapons, God forbid, would lead to damage to the pipeline and could cause direct damage to the Europeans and Arab countries, who would automatically be on Israel’s side. Not so much for Iran. What all of the aforementioned projects have in common is that they all constitute a kind of bridge from continent to continent, and in all of them the best path to the intercontinental connection passes through stable and developed Israel. And the first to recognize this is Netanyahu. With his unimaginable genius, and to the surprise of Iran and the left in Israel – Netanyahu managed to manipulate even the hostile Biden administration to promote the plan (out of a desire to come to the elections with a significant international achievement), including Harris, who later became To the point. There’s no need to talk about Trump. In the next chapter (in response to the tweet ?) we will expand – among other things – on additional possible territorial changes in the Middle East, as part of the overall agreement.

Chapter 4: Arab interests:
From here we will move on to examining the interests of the various Arab countries:

* Egypt – several interests. Here:

1. The Sinai Peninsula is also included in the economic plan. For all that is implied. And for a country whose economy is faltering like Egypt, this is simply a breath of fresh air.
2. The “logistics camp” established in the past year by the Egyptian Rafah, through which – and only through which – all those interested in permanent or temporary relocation (which will in fact become permanent) pass to countries abroad. For each head – mind you ??- the company that operates it receives a sum of $5,000 – with part of that ‘cost’ currently being paid by countries, including Israel. In other words: the more Gazans pass through it, the greater the company’s income will be. It should be emphasized that the numbers published so far are much lower, and in fact hundreds of thousands have already passed: to Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries, where they will be assimilated into the local population in a way that will not pose a threat to their leadership. The owner of the founding and operating company – HALA – is Ibrahim al-Organi, who heads the Tarabin tribe, who just so happens to be a partner with al-Sisi’s son. Yes, yes. If half a million people pass through the camp by a certain point, this is an income of over two billion dollars. If they pass a million – the income doubles, and so on, and they go exactly into the right pockets. The camp itself – which serves as a transit camp, and stays there for only a few days – is estimated to be able to accommodate up to close to a million people, and is surrounded by 7-meter-high walls that ensure that no one will try to leave it for Egypt itself without permission. Let us recall that international officials have predicted horror scenarios according to which hundreds of thousands of Rafah residents will die. None of this happened, largely thanks to the aforementioned camp to which many of the residents of Rafah were transferred. It goes without saying that the land on which the camp sits was leased by the company from the Egyptian government, and here is another income for the Egyptian treasury, which is desperate for revenue.
3. Egypt’s revenue from Suez was cut by about 60%, resulting in a loss of about ten billion dollars for the already empty Egyptian treasury. As part of the overall agreement, Israel is supposed to establish military bases in Somaliland, which is located at a strategic point opposite the Houthis, and in return the US will recognize its independence 30 years after its establishment. Such an event is expected to reduce Houthi attacks on ships in the region – to a minimum, if at all, and in any case return revenues from the Suez Canal to its glory days. At the same time, there is another route in which Israel is a partner and through which Egypt covers its losses, which can be expanded on later.
4. The super-accelerated construction and development in Gaza will also be a profitable source of income for neighboring Egypt, naturally.
5. The agreement with Trump will guarantee al-Sisi internal stability (mainly against the ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ whose president Morsi succeeded al-Sisi) and external stability (such as against Ethiopia, which is in conflict with al-Sisi’s regime following its actions on the Nile).
6. It will also guarantee him the weapons he needs to strengthen him in these challenges, while the US has long-term levers that require American agreement on the nature of its use (in other words: not against Israel), mainly in the area of ??its ongoing maintenance, and more. The voices that al-Sisi is now making against Trump are mainly the voices of a merchant in a Turkish bazaar who is interested in increasing the price he will receive for the goods he ‘sells’.

* Jordan – Several interests are at work here too:

1. Political: Like al-Sisi, Abdullah also buys government stability through an alliance with the US, which gives him political breathing space alongside security assistance and helps him deal with the Islamic movements that strive against him from home with the help of Iran. Abdullah may benefit greatly from breaking Iranian regional hegemony in favor of Saudi strengthening. The hurdle he has to overcome are internal Islamic demonstrations against his cooperation with the ‘Zionist enemy’ and betrayal of the ‘Palestinian interest’ – such as those that took place against him after the interception of the ballistic missiles that Iran launched at Israel last year.
2. Jordan also needs Israeli water and gas. Its fear of Israel is that it will be pushed into the corner of ‘historic Palestine’ and forced to accept the masses of problematic Palestinians in the region. Abdullah, like al-Sisi, is also speaking out against the initiative. Here, Trump faces two options: One – strengthening Abdullah with money and assets Others who are important to him. The second – hold on tight – is a creative option that has been discussed, to give Abdullah a ‘piece’ of the new Syria, in the border strip that it shares with Jordan, and to transfer there the part of the Gazan population that Trump designates for Jordan. The border strip in question extends over 350 km, and its great advantage – the vast majority of it is very far from Israel in a way that will prevent those who would be stationed there, if and when, from thinking about terrorist acts against Israel. Both al-Sisi and Abdullah are screaming like hooves against the move, but their ability to maneuver against the US is limited. How did Trump say it? “I’m sure they will do it.”

* Indonesia – Again, several interests:

1. Joining the OECD, which is conditional on the consent of all member states in the organization, including Israel, when Indonesia has already pledged to establish diplomatic relations with Israel even before the final vote on its joining the organization.
2. Bonds – Indonesia is likely to receive a share of the profits from bond issues worth hundreds of billions of dollars that will be held in preparation for the reconstruction of Gaza.
3. Israeli high-tech, one of the most sought-after in the world, is also being courted by Indonesia.

* Saudi Arabia-the Emirates, Qatar-Kuwait

We reviewed Saudi Arabia and the Emirates in detail in Chapter 3. To this must be added the gratuities that Saudi Arabia is asking for from the US, in the form of a defense alliance, weapons of this and that, and more. Qatar is supposed to have a central role in the construction and operation of the grandiose pipeline from the Emirates to Europe, in addition to the ‘Gaza reconstruction’ project. Kuwait is also supposed to have a part. Bottom line: The absolute majority of the influential Arab countries will – after they meet with Trump – have a personal interest in the success of the various agreements in this event.

Chapter 5: The Losers’ Parade: 1. The Palestinian State.

It is now clear that in the Trump era, and probably after it as well, a Palestinian state will no longer be established. Not only that, the campaign that began in recent days in Jenin is about to expand to all areas of the PA with an intensity similar to what we saw in Gaza, by all accounts. But it is important to understand the background to Trump’s statement:

The basis of the Palestinian claim, for the realization of which the PLO was established at the time, is an Arab claim to a state with Jerusalem as its capital, since in 1948 the ‘All Palestine Government’ was established, which declared that its capital was Jerusalem and was later recognized by most Arab countries, while the establishment of the PLO was intended – according to Wikipedia – to essentially replace the aforementioned irrelevant government. The support of most Arab countries today for Israeli sovereignty as it is today – within the framework of the previous and future ‘Abraham Accords’ – eliminates the aforementioned claim in any case. Hence, the path to taking a Palestinian state off the table is very short, and a green light for Israel to operate there with tremendous intensity.

2. The Israeli left.
* Not only did Trump sign the death certificate of the “peace industry” that thrived here for 40 years, * not only does he glorify Netanyahu in every way, * it is not enough that he cut off in one fell swoop the incessant flow of funding from the US for every initiative of the Israeli left, * he mainly brings – and will bring more – international achievements for Netanyahu, ones that may transfer large parts of the center to the right, as a result of which he condemns the left to endless years of oppositional desertion, which it is not clear whether they will ever end.

3. Hamas and Iran.
As I think there is no need for further explanations. Bottom line: Netanyahu promised two days after the massacre that “we are going to change the Middle East.” He promised and kept his word. And as always – he saw a hundred steps ahead. Trump is going to turn the Middle East into a paradise, while his main dream is to receive a Nobel Prize down the road. I will end on a personal note: I have known most of the material here for several months, as I have hinted from time to time. I had to impose silence on myself for understandable reasons. It wasn’t easy. We have reached the point where most things can be published, even if not all of them yet (it is important to note that parts of the plan may change here or there depending on regional developments!). The future looks very rosy, in fact. – My previous publications on the matter and sources for the published parts – in response to the tweet. The words of Amit Segal tonight, who also says that Netanyahu is behind the plans.
