Several Fox News hosts on Wednesday heaped praise on Donald Trump’s proposal to “take over” Gaza and forcibly relocate nearly 2 million Palestinians to build the “Riviera of the Middle East,” saying the plan — that’s been labeled “ethnic cleansing” by many — shows the president is playing “four-dimensional chess.”
During a bilateral meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, Trump shocked world leaders by repeatedly declaring that the United States should “own” Gaza and resettle the population of the territory so it could be developed into a vacation destination. The stunning proposal, which even left Netanyahu blindsided, has been widely angrily rejected by Arab leaders, while the head of the United Nations warned against “ethnic cleansing” in the strip.
