Can the so-called ME such as SA Jordon etc allies accept this? Their populations may be not so accommodating.

Sure, Hamas are just going to pack up and go?

What can the US do they the IDF have not already done short of nuclear war heads?

How many US body bags before the US population turns against it?

What about Houthis, Iran etc etc.

What a fooken horror show.

Think we can now unanimously refer to this as genocide.

This will be an interesting test of our PM and Foreign Minister.
Are we going to be complicit in further crimes against humanity in Gaza and Palestine?
Have the Mossad false flag antisemitic attacks conducted here since the Labor Party changed it's vote on Israeli occupation of Palestine been effective enough to stifle further criticism of Israel's actions, and sway public opinion, and perhaps help a Liberal Dutton election victory where the UN vote would be reversed and give Israel a valuable propaganda victory?

We should not be involved with these criminal despotic lunatics, this is a test of us as a people, our values, who we are.
I will be watching Albanese and Wong to see where they position us on this.
Trump is our leader too.
We should be on the right side of history and humanity.
I know who Trump and Bibi are.
Who are we?

The Arabs wont want the U.S. there and so will probably form a new coalition govt of countries like Egypt, Jordan etc etc.. to run Gaza like it should be run….law and order….prosperity etc etc.
Might end up a new Dubai…..with lifestyle…jobs and peace for the Gazans….something the current leadership will never bring.

This is the problem.
He's the fucking American President who just told the world he is taking over Gaza.
That's it, that's the story.
It's not a fucking card game, it's life and death, he's the leader of the free world, of any man on the planet he is the one who should be able to be taken at his word.
If not, we are all fucked.
Simple as that.

You might be right, however a few things:

A year ago Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law and a member of his previous party, said Gaza’s "waterfront property could be very valuable" and spoke about bulldozing an area in the Negev Desert to house Gazans while they, the US, rebuilt it.

A month ago, Trump made a very similar statement, "It's a phenomenal location, on the sea. The best weather, you know, everything is good. It's like, some beautiful things could be done with it, but it's very interesting. But some fantastic things could be done with Gaza."

So maybe it's designed to get others to act, or maybe it's been pre-determined?

After Iraq, could you be sure American hubris isn't still alive and well?

EDIT: Keep in mind Trump is standing there with Netanyahu. If the plan was to surreptitiously create a new Arab state would Bibi be smiling?

It’s easier for the guy with the mountain of poker chips to bluff those with less.
In just a few weeks Mexico now has a border patrol and Canadas leader quit because he actually had to go to work and do some serious stuff.
Iran has had to pull its head in and the list goes on……forget the comedy chatter from the Whitehouse and the media frenzy……wait 6 months and see what’s happening then.
“ you gotta know when hold em…know when to fold em…know when to walk away…know when to run”.

That would be the "current leadership" of people that have been under continuous illegal occupation of their lands since 1948 and have been systematically oppressed and subject to war crimes and crimes against humanity, and who's borders are blocked, who's economy is controlled by the occupation.
Yep, they could have built a Dubai.
So could have Israel too @Opti, Tel Aviv is a bit of a shit hole itself.

This will permanently increase terrorist risk in the US. Directly occupying land in Gaza will result in chaos. Yeah, Trump might twist and turn and call it a peackeeper mission in the end. But risk of terrorism is real. Australia needs to distance itself from this madness. I hope our leadership has some guts to do it.

The real Arabs who know history also know very well that ALL of Palestine belongs to Israel and has done for around 3500 years with the land title for Palestine given back to them officially by the whole world in 1920.
Fact check it if you don’t know it.
And Adam Israel gave up control of Gaza 20 years ago but they chose their govt poorly….They democratically voted in Hamas and then Hamas got rid of democracy.
Fact check it.
Gaza’s proxy control by genocidal Iran began and now for the first time someone can do something about it ……hence the threat by Donny boy…..
…actually the ‘shiny vision ‘ of luxury hotels , waterfront paradise, yes America would love to own all that……if you were fishing that would be good bait.

He is draining the swamp and filling it with his own shit so he can be like his heroes Putin, Kim Jong, Xi and Hitler and remain supreme leader or the world until he dies and his son takes over.

yep

the first bit anyway...

the second bit, and further to adam12 talking about wong and albo...

I don't reckon they can

would ensure a dutton victory from my perspective

Islam, generally, already so on the nose atm... would be political suicide...

just my perspective

none of it is good

the only certainty, is increasing instability

unless the arab nations step up...

which they clearly are reluctant to do

they seem to love the palestinians exactly where they are... and the dancing in shadows proxy wars that all that creates...

just as much as the west
