Donald Trump proposed to take over the Gaza Strip and turn it into the “ Riviera of the Middle East ” The move would defy international law and violate the Geneva Conventions and mark an even more extreme turn in American policy in the region.

Some Republicans expressed concern about the plan, but it would be a surprise if they moved to impose any meaningful constraints on his ambitions now.

It's unclear where things go from here. Trump is proposing an extraordinarily costly, deadly, and dramatic intervention.

It would carry an unspeakable humanitarian toll, which he may not care about. It would surely bring about more American enemies in the region, which would, in theory, run counter to his promise to “make America safe again”.
