![Palestinians, returned to Jabalia Refugee Camp, and Beit Lahia areas in the northern Gaza Strip following the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, face massive destruction in Gaza City, Gaza on January 19, 2025. [Haneen Salem - Anadolu Agency]](https://i0.wp.com/www.middleeastmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/AA-20250120-36803514-36803488-PALESTINIANS_RETURNING_TO_NORTHERN_GAZA_AFTER_CEASEFIRE_FACE_DESTRUCTION.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&ssl=1)
US President-elect Donald Trump’s team is considering “temporarily” relocating some of Gaza’s two million Palestinians outside of the besieged enclave while the enclave is rebuilt, American NBC network revealed on Saturday.
The network cited an anonymous transition official as saying that one of the temporary host countries considered for refugees was Indonesia.
NBC also reported that incoming Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff is considering a visit to war-torn Gaza, as part of efforts to maintain the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel.
“You got to see it, you got to feel it,” the transition official said, adding that doing so would allow Witkoff to see “the dynamics playing out on the ground himself, rather than taking Israel’s word for it.”
According to the source, Witkoff is working to achieve long-term stability for the Israelis and two million displaced Palestinians, the path encompassed in the three stages of the deal concluded last week.
The informed official said that “If we don’t help the Gazans, if we don’t make their life better, if we don’t give them a sense of hope, there’s going to be a rebellion.”
Witkoff’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on 11 January was critical in concluding a deal.
The American official has openly confronted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying “If you’re not intent on making a deal, then tell me, and I’ll get on the plane and I’ll go home,” the official added, adding that Witkoff highlighted to Netanyahu how much Trump did for Israel in his first term.
Sure, just move them here and move them there. They have no say in where they go and where they’ll live.
Ugly and pompous, to tell a people to leave the homeland of their ancestors. And we know if they leave they’ll not be allowed to return; their own history has shown that. Yeah, just toss them away into an alien culture while you relish in their demise.

“Cairo’s foreign ministry in a statement expressed Egypt’s continued support for the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their land. It rejected any infringement on those inalienable rights, whether by settlement or annexation of land, or by the depopulation of that land of its people through displacement, encouraged transfer or the uprooting of Palestinians from their land, whether temporarily or long-term. … The forced displacement and eviction of people from their land can only be called ethnic cleansing.”
— The Arab League
“Palestine’s authorities categorically reject any plans or projects for resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. We emphasize that the Palestinian people will never abandon their land or their holy sites, and we will not allow the repetition of the catastrophes (Nakba) of 1948 and 1967. Our people will remain steadfast and will not leave their homeland.”
— The Palestinian Presidential Administration

So since full-blown GENOCIDE didn’t “finish the job,” I guess ethnic cleansing will.
And how grateful “our closest ally” is:

Holy geez. This comment was under Bibi’s bit:
“I cannot imagine being a Christian who doesn’t understand the call to protect Israel. It’s our Savior’s family. We’re just fortunate enough to be adopted simply by believing we are.”
See what we’re up against? Holy geez. Brainwash and compliance extraordinaire!!

Believe it or not, Galen, I have a friend who almost says this exact same thing. I use Thomas Paine’s quote in this instance,
“To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reasoning is like administering medicine to the dead”.
Indeed.

How about moving the Israelis to Madagascar, you sick f$&k!
The bird-headed bastard has been president for only two days and already he’s committing treason and crimes against humanity.
