The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

The usual critics are deriding Trump for his out-of-the-box thinking to bring a long-sought solution to the situation in Gaza. However, it's the most humane option available and might for once bring peace to this region of the Middle East.

American Conservative

Pro-Palestine narrative

18 months of war have not dissuaded the Palestinians of Gaza from wanting to remain on their homeland. Trump has no right to tell the people of Gaza where they should live, and his plans to move them would amount to ethnic cleansing and forcible displacement.
