The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Trump's proposal only emboldens extremists in the Israeli government who have further stoked the conflict — thus why the Biden administration was against such a move. Furthermore, relocating Palestinians from Gaza could destabilize Jordan and Egypt, two critical US allies in the region.

CNN

Pro-Israel narrative

Trump understands that as long as Hamas and other radical Islamist groups remain on Israel's doorstep, there will always be more conflict and misery. Trump's suggestion to relocate the Palestinians is a move of compassion that would both ensure the safety of civilians and Israel's security.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Only the most ill-informed of people do not recognize that Trump's suggestion equates to the forcible deportation and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians — violating fundamental tenets of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Indeed, this was the plan all along, as even the Biden administration floated the idea of forcibly displacing Palestinians from Gaza.
