Trump didn't invent the Gaza ethnic cleansing plan. It's been US policy
since 2007
Jonathan Cook
February 14, 2025
------------------------------

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intention from day one of his
"revenge" attack on Gaza
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-war-gaza>, launched 16 months
ago, was either ethnic cleansing or genocide in Gaza
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-palestine-gaza-war-eight-methods-genocide>
.

His ally in genocide for the next 15 months was former US
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/us>President Joe Biden. His ally
in ethnic cleansing is current US President Donald Trump.

Biden provided
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-plan-ethnic-cleansing-north-gaza-headache-washington>the
2,000lb bombs for the genocide. Trump is reportedly providing
<https://www.jfeed.com/news-israel/sretab> an even larger munition - the
11-ton MOAB, or massive ordnance air blast bomb, with a mile-wide radius -
to further incentivise the population’s exodus.

Biden claimed <https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/1880128605872648474> that
Israel <https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel> was helping the
people of Gaza by "carpet bombing" the enclave - in his words – to
"eradicate" Hamas. Trump claims
<https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-israel-bomb-gaza-hamas-war-023b36984c6116c128b5e47f117bba2a>
he is helping the people of Gaza by "cleaning them out"– in his words –
from the resulting "demolition site".

Biden called the destruction of 70 percent of Gaza’s buildings "self
defence". Trump calls
<https://news.sky.com/story/trump-issues-gaza-ceasefire-ultimatum-to-hamas-as-he-warns-all-hell-is-going-to-break-out-if-hostages-not-returned-13306938>
the imminent destruction of the remaining 30 percent "all hell breaking
loose".

Biden claimed <https://responsiblestatecraft.org/biden-ceasefire-credit/>to
be "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" while encouraging Israel to
continue the murder of children month after month.

Trump claims to have negotiated a ceasefire, even as he has turned a blind
eye to Israel violating
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-did-israel-violate-ceasefire-gaza-hamas>
the terms of that ceasefire: by continuing to fire on Palestinians in Gaza
and the West Bank; by refusing entry into Gaza of vital aid trucks; by
allowing in almost none of the promised tents or mobile homes; by denying
many hundreds of maimed Palestinians treatment abroad; by blocking the
return of Palestinians to their homes in northern Gaza; and by failing to
engage with the second phase of the ceasefire negotiations.

Those Israeli violations, although widely reported by the media as Hamas
"claims", were confirmed
<https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/world/middleeast/trump-israel-gaza-cease-fire-deal-jordan.html>
to the New York Times by three Israeli officials and two mediators.

In other words, Israel has broken the agreement on every count – and Trump
has stood foursquare behind this most favoured client state every bit as
much as Biden did before him.
'Hell breaking loose'

As Israel knew only too well in breaching the ceasefire, Hamas only ever
had one point of leverage to try to enforce the agreement: to refuse to
release more hostages. Which is precisely what the Palestinian group
announced <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ye69ey4pyo> last Monday it
would do until Israel began honouring the agreement.

In a familiar double act, Israel and Washington then put on a show of mock
outrage.

<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/trumps-mission-recolonise-palestine-revives-failed-19th-century-american-efforts>

Trump's plan to colonise Gaza echoes failed 19th-century American missions


Trump lost no time escalating the stakes dramatically. He gave
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds2rHgPd_EE>Israel - or maybe the US, he
was unclear - the green light to "let hell break out", presumably meaning
the resumption of the genocide.

This will happen not only if Hamas refuses to free the three scheduled
hostages by the deadline of noon this Saturday. Trump has insisted that
Hamas is now expected to release all of the hostages.

The US president said he would no longer accept "dribs and drabs" being
released over the course of the six-week, first phase of the ceasefire. In
other words, Trump is violating the very terms of the initial ceasefire his
own team negotiated.

Clearly, neither Netanyahu nor Trump have been trying to save the
agreement. They are working tirelessly to blow it up.

Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported
<https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/2025-02-09/ty-article/.premium/its-a-show-israeli-sources-believe-netanyahu-intends-to-derail-gaza-cease-fire/00000194-e71b-dc0f-a7de-ff3be1e10000>
as much last weekend. Israeli sources revealed that Netanyahu’s goal was to
"derail" the ceasefire before it could reach the second stage when Israeli
troops are supposed to fully withdraw from the enclave and reconstruction
begin.

"Once Hamas realizes there won't be a second stage, they may not complete
the first," a source told the paper.

Hamas insisted on a gradual release of hostages precisely to buy time,
knowing that Israel would be keen to restart the slaughter as soon as it
got the hostages home.

The Palestinians of Gaza are back to square one.

Either accept that they will be ethnically cleansed so that Trump and his
billionaire friends can cash in on reinventing the enclave as the "Riviera
of the Middle East", paid for by stealing the revenues from Gaza’s gas
fields
<https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Natural-Gas-Piece-of-Trumps-Controversial-Gaza-Plan.html>,
or face a return to the genocide.
Quiet part out loud

As should have been clear, Netanyahu only agreed
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza-war-lie-ceasefire-trump-just-told-you>
to Washington’s "ceasefire" because it was never real. It was a pause so
the US could recalibrate from a Biden genocide narrative rooted in the
language of "humanitarianism" and "security" to Trump’s far more
straightforward tough-guy act.

Now it’s all about the "art of the deal
<https://x.com/Acyn/status/1889375399056179341>" and real-estate
development opportunities.

As ever, Trump has a disturbing habit of saying the quiet part out loud. Of
tearing away the already-battered veneer of western respectability

But of course Trump’s plan to "own" Gaza and then "clean it out" has left
his allies in Europe – in truth, his satraps - squirming in their seats.

As ever, Trump has a disturbing habit of saying the quiet part out loud. Of
tearing away the already-battered veneer of western respectability. Of
making everyone look bad.

The truth is that over 15 months Israel failed to achieve either of its
stated objectives in Gaza – eradicating Hamas and securing the return of
the hostages – because neither was ever really the goal.

Even Biden’s secretary of state, Antony Blinken, had to concede
<https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/blinken-we-assess-that-hamas-has-recruited-almost-as-many-new-fighters-as-it-has-lost/>
that Israel’s mass slaughter had served only to recruit as many fighters to
Hamas as it had killed.

And Israeli military whistleblowers revealed
<https://www.972mag.com/tunnels-hamas-lethal-gas-bombs-gaza/>to the website
+972 last week that Israel had killed many of its hostages by using
indiscriminate US-supplied bunker-buster bombs.

These bombs had not only generated huge blast areas but also served
effectively as chemical weapons, flooding Hamas’ tunnels with carbon
monoxide, asphyxiating the hostages.

The indifference of the Israeli leadership to the hostages’ fate was
confirmed by Israel’s former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, in an
interview with Israeli TV Channel 12.

He admitted <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48ADwSrPG9w> that the army had
invoked the so-called Hannibal directive during Hamas’ breakout of Gaza on
7 October 2023, allowing soldiers to kill Israelis rather than risk letting
them be taken hostage by the Palestinian group.

These matters, which throw a different light on Israel’s actions in Gaza,
have, of course, been almost completely blanked
<https://www.medialens.org/2025/media-silent-over-israels-use-of-the-hannibal-directive-on-7-october-2023/>
out
by the western establishment media.
Damage limitation

Israel’s plan from the outset was the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. And now
Trump is making that explicit.

So explicit, in fact, that the media have been forced to go into frenzied
damage-limitation mode, employing one of the most intense psy-ops against
their own publics on record.

Every euphemism under the sun has been resorted to to avoid making clear
that Trump and Israel are preparing to ethnically cleanse whoever’s left of
the 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza.

<https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-did-israel-violate-ceasefire-gaza-hamas>

How did Israel violate the ceasefire in Gaza?


The BBC speaks of "resettling
<https://x.com/medialens/status/1887092246102601875>", "relocating
<https://x.com/SaulStaniforth/status/1889246636410351763>" and "moving
away"  <https://x.com/SaulStaniforth/status/1889229169596194899>the
population of Gaza.

In other reports <https://x.com/BBCWorld/status/1887462745303359921>,
Palestinians are inexplicably on the brink of “leaving”.

The New York Times refers
<https://x.com/AssalRad/status/1889121502299353357> to ethnic cleansing
positively as Trump’s "development plan", while Reuters indifferently calls
<https://x.com/AssalRad/status/1887367381112266779> it "moving out" Gaza’s
population.

Western capitals and their compliant media have been put in this
uncomfortable position because Washington’s client states in the Middle
East have refused to play ball with Israel and Trump’s ethnic cleansing
plan.

Despite the ever-mounting slaughter, Egypt has refused to open its short
border with Gaza to let the bombed, starved population pour into
neighbouring Sinai.

There was, of course, never any question of Israel being expected to allow
Gaza’s families to return to the lands from which they were originally
expelled, at gunpoint, in 1948 in order to create a self-declared Jewish
state.

Then, as now, the western powers colluded in Israel’s ethnic cleansing
operations. This historical context western media prefer to gloss over –
even on the rare occasions when they concede that there is any relevant
background other than a presumed Palestinian barbarism. Instead the media
resort to evasive terminology about "cycles of violence" and "historic
enmities".

Backed into a corner by Trump’s outbursts of the past few days, western
politicians and the media have preferred to suggest that his
administration’s "development plan" for Gaza is actually an innovation.

In truth, however, the president isn’t advancing anything new in demanding
that Gaza’s Palestinians be ethnically cleansed. What’s different is that
he is being unusually - and inadvisably – open about a long-standing policy.

Israel has always harboured plans to expel Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt
and from the West Bank to Jordan.

But more to the point, as was noted
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/features/analysis-there-plan-force-palestinians-sinai>by
Middle East Eye a decade ago, Washington has been fully on board with the
Gaza half of the expulsion project since the latter stages of George W
Bush’s second presidency, in 2007. For anyone struggling with maths, that
was 18 years ago.

Every US president, including Barack Obama, has leant on Egypt’s leader of
the time to allow Israel to drive Gaza’s population into Sinai – and each
one has been rebuffed.
Open secret

This open secret is not widely known for exactly the same reason that every
western pundit and politician is now pretending to be appalled that Trump
is actually advancing it.

Why? Because it looks bad - all the more so couched in Trump’s vulgar
real-estate sales pitch in the middle of a supposed ceasefire.

Israel’s plan from the outset was the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. And now
Trump is making that explicit

Western leaders had hoped to bring about the ethnic cleansing of Gaza with
more decorum – in a “humanitarian” way that would have been more effective
in duping western publics and maintaining the West’s claim to be upholding
civilised values against a supposed Palestinian barbarity.

Since 2007 Washington and Israel’s joint ethnic cleansing project has been
known as the "Greater Gaza Plan
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/features/analysis-there-plan-force-palestinians-sinai>
".

Israel’s siege of the tiny enclave, which began in late 2006, was designed
to create so much misery and poverty in the tiny enclave that the people
there would clamour to be allowed out.

This was when Israel began
<https://electronicintifada.net/content/israels-starvation-diet-gaza/11810>
formulating a so-called "starvation diet" for the people of Gaza, counting
the calories to keep them alive but only barely.

Israel’s conception of Gaza was that it was like a tube of toothpaste that
could be squeezed. As soon as Egypt
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/egypt> relented and opened the
border, the population would flood into Sinai out of desperation.

Every Egyptian president was bullied and bribed to give in: Hosni Mubarak,
Mohamed Morsi, and General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. They all refused.

Egypt was under no illusions about what was at stake after 7 October 2023.
It fully understood that Israel’s levelling of Gaza was designed to squeeze
the tube so hard the top would be forced off.
Pressure on Egypt

>From the outset, officials like Giora Eiland, Israel’s former national
security adviser, stated <https://archive.ph/ig5Zv> publicly that the goal
was to make Gaza "a place where no human being can exist".

Just a week into Israel’s slaughter, in October 2023, military spokesperson
Amir Avivi told
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-palestine-mounting-evidence-israel-ready-cleanse-gaza>
the BBC that Israel could not ensure the safety of civilians in Gaza. He
added: "They need to move south, out to the Sinai Peninsula."

<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/saudi-arabia-israel-trump-netanyahu-forced-bin-salman-draw-line-palestine>

How Trump and Netanyahu forced Mohammed bin Salman to draw a line on
Palestine


The next day, Danny Ayalon, a Netanyahu confidant and former Israeli
ambassador to the US, amplified
<https://x.com/Lowkey0nline/status/1713130977000591589> the point: "There
is almost endless space in the Sinai Desert… We and the international
community will prepare the infrastructure for tent cities."

He concluded: "Egypt will have to play ball."

Israel’s thinking was divulged in a leaked policy draft from its
intelligence ministry. It proposed
<https://www.calcalist.co.il/local_news/article/rj2mplngp> that, after
their expulsion, Gaza's population would initially be housed in tent
cities, before permanent communities could be built in the north of Sinai.

At the same time, the Financial Times reported that Netanyahu was lobbying
the European Union on the idea of driving the enclave’s Palestinians into
Sinai under cover of war.

Some EU members, including the Czech Republic and Austria, were said to
have been receptive and floated the idea at a meeting of member states. An
unnamed European diplomat told
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-netanyahu-lobbied-eu-push-egypt-accept-gaza-refugees>
the FT: "Now is the time to put increased pressure on the Egyptians to
agree."

Meanwhile, the Biden administration supplied the bombs to maintain the
pressure.

Sisi was only too aware
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/sisi-holds-key-trumps-sinai-plan-palestinians>
of what Egypt was up against: a concerted western plan to ethnically
cleanse Gaza. None of it had anything to do with Trump, who was more than a
year away from being elected president.

In mid-October 2023, days into the slaughter, Sisi responded
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/19/egypt-rafah-crossing-aid-enter-gaza-why-closed-israel-us-egypt>
in a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz: "What is
happening now in Gaza is an attempt to force civilian residents to take
refuge and migrate to Egypt, which should not be accepted."

That was precisely why he dedicated so much effort to shoring up the short
border shared between Gaza and Sinai both before and after Israel’s
genocide began.
Peace sales pitch

Part of what makes Trump’s sales pitch so surreal is that he is
half-heartedly sticking to the original script: trying to make the plan
sound vaguely humanitarian.

At the same time as re-arming Israel and warning of "all hell breaking
loose", he has spoken <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2LztpKxUew>of
finding "parcels of land" in Egypt and Jordan where the people of Gaza "can
live very happily and very safely".

He has contrasted that with their current plight: "They are being killed
there at levels that nobody’s ever seen. No place in the world is as
dangerous as the Gaza Strip… They are living in hell."

That seems to be Trump’s all-too-revealing way of describing the genocide
Israel denies it is carrying out and the one the US denies it is arming.

But the talk of helping Gaza’s population is just the rhetorical leftovers
from the old sales pitch when previous US administrations were preparing to
sell ethnic cleansing as integral to a new stage of the fabled "peace
process".

[image: image.gif]As Middle East Eye noted back
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/features/analysis-there-plan-force-palestinians-sinai>
in 2015, Washington had been recruited to the Greater Gaza Plan in 2007.
Then the proposal was that Egypt would give 1,600 sq km area in Sinai -
five times the size of Gaza - to the Palestinian leadership in the West
Bank, headed by Mahmoud Abbas.

Palestinians from Gaza would be "encouraged" – that is, pressured through
the siege and aid blockade, as well as intermittent episodes of carpet
bombing known as "mowing the lawn"– to flee there.

In return, Abbas would have to forgo a Palestinian state in historic
Palestine, undermine the right of return of Palestinian refugees enshrined
in international law, and pass the burden of responsibility for repressing
the Palestinians on to Egypt and the wider Arab world.

Israel advanced the Sinai plan between 2007 and 2018 in the hope of
sabotaging Abbas’ campaign at the United Nations seeking recognition of
Palestinian statehood.

Notably, Israel’s large-scale military assaults on Gaza – in the winter of
2008, 2012 and again in 2014 – coincided with reported Israeli and US
efforts to turn the screws on successive Egyptian leaders to concede parts
of Sinai.
'Waterfront property'

Trump is already deeply familiar with the Greater Gaza Plan from his first
presidency. Reports from 2018 suggest he hoped
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/sisi-holds-key-trumps-sinai-plan-palestinians>
to include it in his "deal of the century" plan to bring about
normalisation between Israel and the Arab world.

In March that year the White House hosted
<https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/readout-gaza-conference-white-house/>19
countries in a conference to consider new ideas for dealing with Gaza’s
mounting, entirely Israeli-made crisis.

If Trump refuses to relent, the direction things head next for the people
of Gaza hangs chiefly on neighbouring Egypt and Jordan

As well as Israel, the participants included representatives from Egypt,
Jordan <https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/jordan>, Saudi Arabia
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/saudi-arabia>, Qatar
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/qatar>, Bahrain
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/bahrain>, Oman
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/oman> and the United Arab Emirates
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/uae>. The Palestinians boycotted
<https://www.dci.plo.ps/en/article/8433/B> the meeting.

A few months later, in the summer of 2018, Jared Kushner
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/tags/jared-kushner>, Trump’s son-in-law and
architect of his Middle East plan, visited
<https://www.newsweek.com/jared-kushner-visiting-israel-saudi-arabia-egypt-push-middle-east-peace-plan-975914>
Egypt. A short time later Hamas sent a delegation to Cairo to learn about
what was being proposed.

Then, as seemingly now, Trump was offering a purpose-built zone in Sinai
with solar-power grid, desalination plant, seaport and airport, as well as
a free trade zone with five industrial areas, financed by the oil-rich Gulf
states.

Revealingly, a veteran Israeli journalist, Ron Ben-Yishai, reported at the
time that Israel was threatening to invade and bisect Gaza into separate
northern and southern sectors to force Hamas’ compliance. That is exactly
the strategy Israel prioritised last year during its invasion and then set
about emptying north Gaza of its residents.

Trump also sought to deepen the crisis in Gaza by withholding payments to
the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa). That same
policy was actively pursued by Israel and the Biden administration during
the current genocide.

Since Trump took office, Israel has banned
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/unrwa-chief-says-israels-banning-operations-will-undermine-gaza-ceasefire>Unrwa
activities anywhere in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Trump’s team revived their own interest in the ethnic cleansing plan the
moment Israel launched its genocide – long before Trump knew whether he
would win the November 2024 election.

In March last year, nearly a year ago, Kushner used exactly the same
language Trump does now. He observed
<https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/19/jared-kushner-gaza-waterfront-property-israel-negev>
that "there’s not much of Gaza left at this point", that the priority was
to "clean it up", and that it was a "valuable waterfront property". He
insisted the people of Gaza would have to be "moved out".
Rabbit in the headlights

If Trump refuses to relent, the direction things head next for the people
of Gaza hangs chiefly on neighbouring Egypt and Jordan: they must either
accept the ethnic cleansing plan, or Israel will resume the extermination
of Gaza’s population.

Should they demur, Trump has threatened
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/trump-threatens-cut-aid-jordan-if-it-doesnt-accept-forced-removal>
to cut US aid – effectively decades-old bribes to each not to come to the
Palestinians’ aid while Israel brutalises them.

<https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/trump-arab-leaders-netanyahu-how-much-longer-run-amok>

How much longer will Arab leaders let Trump and Netanyahu run amok?


King Abdulah of Jordan, during a visit to the White House this week, looked
like <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIbalE4EOHQ> a rabbit caught in the
headlights.

He dared not anger Trump by rejecting the plan to his face. Instead he
suggested waiting to see how Egypt - a larger, more powerful Arab state -
responded.

But privately, as MEE has reported
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/jordan-ready-war-israel-if-palestinians-expelled-into-its-territory>,
Abdullah is so fearful of the destabilising effects of Jordan colluding in
Gaza’s ethnic cleansing – which he regards as an "existential issue" for
his regime - that he is threatening war on Israel to stop it.

Similarly, Egypt has shown its displeasure. In the wake of Abdullah’s
humiliating visit, Sisi has reportedly postponed <https://archive.ph/wnZiJ>
his own meeting next week with Trump – in a clear rebuff – until the ethnic
cleansing plan is off the table.

Cairo is said to be preparing its own proposal for how Gaza can be
reconstructed. Even Washington’s oil-rich ally Saudi Arabia is in revolt
<https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/5/non-negotiable-saudi-arabia-flatly-rejects-trumps-gaza-takeover-plan>
.

It is rare to see Arab states show so much backbone to any US president,
let alone one as vain and strategically unhinged as Trump.

Which may explain why the US president’s resolve appears to be weakening.
On Wednesday his press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/trump-appears-shift-gaza-he-tasked-arabs-draw-plan>
that Trump was now seeking from "our Arab partners in the region" a
counter-proposal, a "peace plan to present to the president".

And in another sign that Trump may be hesitating, Netanyahu walked back
<https://x.com/BarakRavid/status/1889742055099801809> his threat to resume
the genocide unless all the hostages were freed on Saturday. He is now
demanding only the three that were originally scheduled.

Reports from Gaza are that Israel has also significantly stepped up
<https://x.com/AbubakerAbedW/status/1889771157470982487>its aid deliveries.

All of which is welcome news. It may buy the people of Gaza a little more
time.

But we should not lose sight of the bigger picture. Israel and the US are
still committed to "cleaning out" Gaza, one way or another, as they have
been for the past 18 years. They are simply looking for a more propitious
moment to resume.

That could be this weekend, or it could be in a month or two. But at least
Biden and Trump have achieved one thing. They have made sure no one can
ever again mistake the crushing of Gaza for a peace plan.
