Trump administration officials say that the five -year line of time that was established in later phases of a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas is too short, estimating that the time line will be at least double.
Although officials were cautious about Trump’s explicit support for “cleaning” the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip and housing them another place during reconstruction, they suggested that the territory can be habitable in “creative” regional solutions .
“The third phase, the reconstruction, will not go to the way this agreement, which is a five -year program,” said journalists Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East , in reference to the three -phase cessation of cessation. by the administration of Biden.
Trump’s team says that reconstruction is likely to take 10 to 15 years.
A senior administration official said Trump “looks at the Gaza and voice strip as a place of demolition” and “believes it is not practical to rebuild between three and five years, he thinks it will take at least 10 to 15 And he thinks it is inhuman to force people to live in an uninhabited plot of land with unpublished ruins and ruins.
The statements were filed ahead of a meeting between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday.
Trump said last week He would like both Jordan and Egypt, who borders Gaza, to help houses people at least temporarily outside the start of the war.
“You talk about a million and a half people, and we only clean all this,” Trump told journalists on board Air Force One.
“Almost everything is demolished and people die, so I would prefer to get involved -with some of the Arab nations and build homes in a different place where I think maybe they could live in peace for a change.”
Arab leaders in the region have said that efforts to move Palestinians or transfer them to neighboring countries are a start. Egypt and Jordan, countries with peace treaties with Israel, are opposed to absorbing the Palestinians who claim that it is a risk of security, destabilizing and threatening to cause mass opposition to Arabic Street.
Five Arabic Foreign Ministers and a high Palestinian official sent a joint letter In Axios, the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, opposed the plans to displace the Palestinians of Gaza.
But Trump’s team said they are trying to be transparent by the reconstruction scale and the need to share the load.
“I would promote the characterization of” cleaning Gaza “again, Tuesday told Mike Waltz, Trump’s national security consultant.
“Trump is looking at it from a humanitarian point of view. There are rugs, we have to look realistically how to rebuild Gaza. We talk about 10 to 15 years to rebuild. We have to work and that’s what we will work through From Prime Minister Netanyahu, “said Waltz.
The Ceasefire Agreement is made up of three phases. Currently, Israel and Hamas adhere to the first phase of the agreement.
A senior administration official said that the white house message, during a meeting with Washington’s Arab Ambassadors, was to try to find creative solutions that “would be human and provide dignity to the Palestinian people.”
“I was there talking to them, and what we have asked is to work together with our Arab partners and friends in the region and with Israel, for everyone who gathers for creative solutions to this challenge,” said the official.
“It will not be something that the United States will solve alone and that we will impose on Arabic (nations) and Israel, but we ask our friends and partners and allies to meet as a search for what solutions we can provide to be human and provide dignity to the people. Palestine. ”
