Netanyahu discussed the plan with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who kicked off a Middle East visit by endorsing Israel's war aims in Gaza, saying Hamas “must be eradicated.” That created further doubt around the shaky ceasefire as talks on its second phase are yet to begin.
I was calculating about $100 billion conservatively to relocate 2 million people. The long term cost could be over a trillion. I wonder why everyone is balking at the idea of taking them in.
I think it’s also just the destabilizing effect of adding millions of immigrants. Jordan is only 11-12M people; Egypt is about 10x that amount. Both are strongly anti-Islamist and anyone who takes in Palestinians would be taking in some % of Hamas.
Sure. Good luck resettling 2 million Palestinians.
