While the president’s cabinet has couched his remarks as a negotiating position, Palestinians are stunned by the callousness. It’s not easy to catch Palestinians off guard, given the scenes from 15 months of Israeli bombardment, siege, starvation, and the world’s inaction to what Amnesty International has called a "genocide". But if anyone can throw things off kilter, it’s US President Donald Trump, who on Tuesday said the US would expel Palestinians from Gaza, likely move in American troops, and then develop “the Riviera of the Middle East” for tourists. The stunning announcement was made alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was given the privilege of being the first foreign leader to visit the White House in Trump’s second term. But the backlash to Trump’s “long-term ownership” of Gaza was swift. Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian in the chamber, said, “Palestinians aren’t going anywhere”.
