Trump plans for Gaza: "We will take over Gaza and move all Palestinians out"

[nycfan]

Trump was convinced to quit talking about moving all the Palestinians out of Gaza (mostly, at least in public) but the Israeli government sees their chance and it appears that they are pushing to make it happen while Trump is still in his most powerful political position to help make it happen.

“… In their meeting earlier this week, Barnea told Witkoff that Ethiopia, Indonesia and Libya had expressed openness to receiving large numbers of Palestinians from Gaza, the two source say.

…

• After the dinner [with. ETA yahu at the White House last week] a senior Israeli official told reporters that Trump has shown interest in continuing to push the "relocation" of Palestinians from Gaza. The White House didn't comment at the time….”

“… According to the Financial Times, the stablecoin would be pegged to the US dollar and used to facilitate digital payments, not replace Gaza with a sovereign currency.

“… However, the plan raises serious ethical and political concerns. A digitally controlled currency governed by an international body could give external actors unprecedented influence over Gaza’s financial system. Every transaction could be tracked.

Access could potentially be restricted or revoked.

Moreover, introducing a separate payment system risks further separating Gaza economically from the West Bank. Infrastructure limits, including Gaza’s reliance on slow 2G networks, could also hinder adoption.

For now, the stablecoin remains only a proposal.

However, if implemented, it would represent one of the first attempts to rebuild a post-conflict economy using digital dollar infrastructure — a move that could reshape both Gaza’s future and the global role of stablecoins.…”
