      Kushner wants to build beach front houses in Gaza. They will not sell well with the current population.

      From resources perspective, Gaza strip has: two land borders, high aquifer that is great for agriculture and sea access that offers both fishing (till the fish population will collapse in few years) and tourism (it’s considered has one of the better looking beaches in the area).

      In the Negev there is practically nothing.

      Hamas is an Islamisfasitic organization. But with the natural resources available, under proper management, the Gazans may have good economy.

      Trump breaks silence on Israel’s military campaign in Gaza: ‘Finish the problem’

      Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s national press secretary, said in a statement, adding, "When President Trump is back in the Oval Office, Israel will once again be protected, Iran will go back to being broke, terrorists will be hunted down, and the bloodshed will end.”

      Does this make it easier for them or harder do you think?

        Gaza is gone. It’s obliterated. Conservative estimates and official counts put the death toll at tens of thousands with research estimating the real figure to be in the hundreds of thousands. Many more hundreds of thousands have fled to Egypt and through Egypt to elsewhere and are never coming back. Hundreds of thousands more are trapped and are being starved. There is over 45 million of tonnes of rubble that would take 10 to 15 years or more to remove not to mention toxic waste, unexploded ordinance and bodies. The materials to rebuild don’t exist in Gaza and Israel is not going allow Gaza to be rebuilt for Palestinians.

        All of this happened on the Democrats watch, with Democrat support and Democrat supplied armaments. There is no indication from anyone that the Democrats would have changed tact if Harris won.
