Ruth Wasserman Lande: As for Jordan, it is very fragile, with 70% Palestinians already living there, and there are already internal issues with the Palestinian population. “Do we need more Palestinians from Gaza to move to Jordan?” This would only create additional security challenges for Israel.
The solution I’m proposing, which might seem a bit off the radar, is Qatar. Qatar “has been funding and supporting Hamas” and has the infrastructure from the World Cup, the money, and land that is 30 times larger than Gaza. This could be a much better solution for the Palestinians in Gaza. “They would enjoy living in a more prosperous country like Qatar, rather than under Hamas rule in Gaza.”
I understand that Qatar would not gladly accept such a solution, and neither would Egypt or Jordan. The question is, “What leverage will the United States use to make this possibility a reality?”.
