Opinion: Sorry Trump, Palestinians aren't going to fall for 'Make Gaza Great Again'

So the Gaza Strip has been added to US President Donald Trump’s wide geopolitical vision of remaking the world. After Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal, Trump is eyeing the world’s biggest open-air rubble storage site.
He has vowed to rebuild the “hellish” territory into a wonderful real-estate development, perhaps including a series of Mar-a-Lago-style resorts along the Mediterranean coast.
The setting for this announcement was ripe with macabre irony, as he made it sitting next to the man who over the past year has turned Gaza into a hellscape: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sadly, no journalist among those admitted into the Oval Office dared to highlight these outrageous circumstances.
