As the war between Israel and Hamas hits its 500th day today, the question shifts from the present battlefield to the future: What will the next 500 days look like?
Hi Joshua, you only alluded to but do not specifically mention the Philadelphi corridor. It is the key to controlling Gaza. The Israeli’s cannot give it up. I also think a very large percentage of Gazans would leave if given a chance. Egypt should be forced to open its border to them. It should have done so years ago.
Fabulous post. I definitely don't want to see Egypt and Jordan destabilized by these people. How about a nice desert where they can sweat the Islamism out. Would definitely love to see Saudi Arabia on board.
There’s a strong narrative of fear circulating in the EU right now, especially in the German, French, and Spanish media that I follow. I firmly believe that Israel should resist any international pressure.
You know what it is going to be: OPTION ONE. C'mon, you KNOW it. Bibi and Trump are ironclad on this and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring peace, prosperity and co-existence to the Middle East. Trump's cabinet and other mouths have been all over the media and they all say Judea and Samaria must belong to Israel, that Hamas MUST be destroyed (as well as all the other terror groups), that Iran MUST be fully neutralized and so on. And they are all promoting the vision of the new Middle East. They aren't "floating" these ideas, they are TELLING the world what is coming, and soon. As Netanyahu said a few months ago in one of his great videos where he is talking directly to the people of Iran: All this is coming "sooner than you think."
If it were possible to tow away Israel to lets say, the Gulf of Mexico, Mr. Trump's idea might have some merit. But since the country is situated in the Middle East, you'll have to deal with neighbours who only by force could be 'persuaded' to take in Palestinians who are not exactly popular there, either. The Palestinians living in Israeli territories should be dealt with according to Israel's humane but decisive tradition.
Well, I think there is a good chance the Arabs will take refugees. Here's my thinking: They shouldn't say "no" to Trump--that only makes him more determined to MAKE it happen. Here's what I imagine Trump saying: "Well, those billions you get in aid, Jordan? Egypt? You won't be getting it anymore. Israel is saving your asses from Iran, and Israel is saving the entire Middle East from terrorism so that peace, prosperity and co-existence can begin. And Israel will be your protector going forward, they have proved they can do it —and take YOU out, too, if they wanted to. So take back your f@*king brethren and rehabilitate them, un-brainwash them, and thank your god Allah that the Jews saved you all." So, Albert, we shall see what happens pretty soon! Either way, Trump was quoted as saying yesterday that, "Israel can do whatever it wants." So if his plan to get the Arabs to take the Gazans fails, Israel can do whatever necessary to secure their security going forward. I personally think the "gates of hell" will be unleashed on Hamas no matter what plan Israel goes with (and hell on Iran and Hezbollah. I think America will deal with the Houthis).
I say fuck Jordan and Egypt. Send the all the Palestinians, not just in Gaza. If they don’t like that idea, totally raze Gaza to the ground, shut off their water and power. See how they like that option.
TO EVEN CONSIDER A TRUMP PROPOSAL IS LIKE DEALING WITH A SLITHERING SNAKE. I DO NOT THINK THERE IS ONE IDEA OF HIS THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN HUGE PERSONAL ADVANTAGES FOR HIM PERSONALLY AND FINANCIALLY. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE WELFARE OF THE USA OR ISRAEL IN HIS RADAR. TO DEAL WITH HIM IS TO DEAL WITHOUT YOUR SOUL OR YOUR REASON. A SHORT TERM ADVANTAGE WILL BLOW UP IN ONES FACES. LOOK HOW HE HAS TRASHED UKRAINE, AND PLANS TO HAND OVER ITS LAND TO THE AGGRESSOR AND. DESPOT PUTIN. HE HAS RUINED DECADES OF WORK BY THE USA AND FRIENDLY NATIONS BECAUSE HIS VAST AND OVER ESTIMATED EGO CANNOT BEAR WORK DONE BY PEOPLE WITHOUT HIS AGENDA OF ISOLATIONISM. COOPERATION IS A WORD HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. I SHUDDER TO THINK ISRAEL SHOULD HAVE ANY OBLIGATIONS TO HIM, AS IT WILL ONLY END BADLY FOR THEM.
research his and his family's DEALS with Saudi Arabia as soon as he was voted out of office last time. NOTE the VAST amounts, and then read every ethical treatise on a politicians duty to not profit from the contacts made during the time in office. Do remember, and research his intent to build hotels etc, in Russia.? He now has his sights on Gaza. Are you so naive that you think he will turn away A "DEAL"? HIS "BRILLIANT" IDEA for Gaza IS TO THROW OUT EVERY PALESTINIAN. EVERYONE. HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, OUR OWN CONSTITUTION, WHICH YOU MUST ADMIT HE IS TOSSING IN THE GARBAGE AS WE SPEAK. HE Has publicly said this past week that he and his "administration "will not, I repeat, not abide by the courts. He is NOT brilliant, he is self serving,, ego driven, and arrogant to everyone he thinks is not worthy of his time.
Woolly Thinking: Your 'International Game Changing Scenario' Number Five, would soon degenerate into Scenario Three, (and thence back into your 'Scenario Two' as well): Thus, where ten years or so into any rebuild of Riviera Gaza, 'a weakened Hamas' is quietly rebuilt and re-armed and re-infiltrated back into Gaza by The Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt which has never in fact disarmed, even against the wishes of The Saudis.
Of course there is another scenario: kicking the Gazans out and for those who stay, locking them down while Israel takes over the Gaza Strip and floods it with Jews. The Gazans who remain work for a living, help clear up the place, learn in Hebrew, have their mosques closed, and follow all rules on pain of death while being free to leave anytime.

Another great post Joshua. Thank you for breaking it down for us.

Having worked in all these countries, except Iran, my strong sense is the Arabs are as tired of the Fakestinians as they are of the crazy mullahs.

You obviously hate Trump and have no idea his good his plan is for Israel.
Oh, please. What personal and financial advantages will he have? His idea about Gaza is brilliant, and I hope and pray Option 1 will come to pass.

I am not a Navi, "prophet".
I don't prophes or attempt to be one or attempt to prophesy. I don't have to.
It has been "said" thousands of years ago.
If Yisrael does not listen, "give ear", they, we, will be chastised even more.
It does not matter whose or which big idee, solution, plan or strategy is conceived and implemented, the outcome will remain the same.
If not Hamas, Hisbola, Huttis or Iran, it will be under another name.
