I've been trying to restrain myself for the last while to keep from saying out loud that maybe the place just needs to be bulldozed for any meaningful change to happen.
The biggest issue I see with Trump's idea is where to put the Gazans. I don't see the surrounding Arab countries taking them in unless they get offered the carrot of all carrots in the history of agriculture, because the last time they took these people in, the incomers took to launching civil wars and attacks on the respective governments. And obviously European countries shouldn't take them in either, because that would be just another bomb waiting to go off.
And then there's the loud voices all over the west who would start crying ethnic cleansing at any attempt to remove the population from the area, no matter whether they wanted to leave or not, or what locations or conditions they were offered in exchange.
But apart from the useful fools, the issue really is Hamas. If they are not genuinely decimated to where they no longer can function, no matter where the population stays or moves to, the same problem will exist. Just in a different location.
