President Donald Trump says he’d like to see Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “clean out” the area to create a virtual clean slate.

“Something has to happen,” Trump said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there.” He added: “So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

    I didn’t want to touch on the intent question

    Intent is essential for genocide. Dolus specialis, look it up.

    Trump

    Reportedly Trump has been already influential in bringing about the current ceasefire and hostage exchange. There’s potential for the situation to change significantly. Annexation of parts of the West Bank is a possibility.

    Netanyahu wants to stay in power and out of prison. At the moment that means appeasing the extremists. He will likely not survive the upcoming Knesset investigation into October 7th politically.

      Well yes, it was in the part I copied in the top comment, I didn’t overlook it.

      If you read the next sentence after your quote I gave the reasoning why I think we don’t have to get into it for the analysis of these hypothetical circumstances: Article 2 already doesn’t apply for other reasons.
