President Trump has thrown down the gauntlet with a bold proposal to relocate the so-called “Palestinians” back to their Egyptian roots, and the liberal media has responded with all the grace of a burn victim at a barbecue. Such a suggestion has sent shockwaves through the left, leaving the likes of the New York Times and Washington Post scrambling to recover from the simultaneous explosions of heads in their editorial rooms. Despite the noise from Muslim countries claiming brotherhood with their “Palestinian” counterparts, the reality is that they are far less enthusiastic about sharing their space than Leftists would have the public believe.
For decades, U.S. foreign policy has been characterized by a frustrating pattern of failure, typified by the endless pursuit of the mythical two-state solution. This dream has repeatedly led to catastrophe for Israelis, with thousands of deaths stemming from the refusal to confront the unpleasant truths about the situation. Under Trump’s watch, there is hope that a tougher stance could finally break the cycle of death and despair that has plagued the region.
While many Middle Eastern nations have treated Trump’s plans with the same enthusiasm as a vegan at a Texas barbecue, they may not have much of a choice. Trump’s knack for leveraging U.S. aid and oil trade puts him in a prime position to shape the future of Gaza. Egypt, in particular, must be feeling the financial strain as illegal crossings from Gaza have skyrocketed, and the thought of losing billions in American support might knock some sense into their leadership—financial reality often does that.
With a penchant for creative negotiations, Trump is reportedly offering Egypt further financial incentives to encourage them to accept their erstwhile countrymen. But if Egypt plays hard to get, Trump isn’t shy about wielding the stick. The message is clear: it’s better to be proactive in accepting help with resettlement than to face a wave of Gazans flooding across the border with no aid and support. It’s a logic even the most stubborn leaders should be able to grasp.

This whole “Palestinian” issue has been one of self-manufactured problems, a narrative crafted by those who have repeatedly shot themselves in the foot. Egypt and Jordan’s refusal to take in these “refugees” stems from their remembered experiences of civil unrest when they had once extended a helping hand. The current geopolitical landscape is unnatural, but it’s one they’ve fashioned themselves; turning back to their roots in Egypt would be the far more sensible move.
In the end, historical precedent backs up Trump’s strategy. Israel, after securing victory in past military confrontations, has the right by every standard of war to claim this land. The Gaza Strip is a minuscule 25 miles long, making resettlement not just feasible but also efficient. If the Gazans are smart enough to seize this unusual opportunity, they might find themselves living a more prosperous life in Egypt. It’s a win-win that strategically makes sense—or as the progressives might call it, a principled compromise. The days of naive Arab brotherhood died long ago, and it’s high time the rest of the world recognized that fact.
As the political climate heats up, it’s clear that Trump’s vision is unlike any seen before, making America great while ignoring the radical left’s attempts to tear it down.
