Question:
Al Jazeera published on its website on 26/1/2025: “US President Donald Trump said that he is pressuring Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries to receive more Palestinian refugees from Gaza, after the Israeli war on the Strip caused a humanitarian crisis. When asked whether this was a temporary or long-term proposal, Trump said, "It could be this or that."
Doesn't this mean that Trump is putting the rulers of Jordan and Egypt in a stifling circle of embarrassment, especially since they had previously stated that they did not agree to this displacement? Does this mean that Trump is planning to empty the Gaza Strip of its people to annex it to the Jewish entity, especially since the Arab rulers, and indeed all Muslim rulers, are silent as graves without moving to face him? Does this mean that there is a change in US policy or is it the same in a different style?
Answer:
In order to clarify the answer to the above questions, we will review the following matters:
1- Trump does not hide his goals, but rather says them explicitly, unlike his predecessor Biden. For example, Biden was deceiving the people that America is working to implement the two-state solution project, but it was just words without meaning! Al Jazeera published on its website on 4/1/2024: “US President Joe Biden said yesterday, Friday, that there are a number of models for the two-state solution, indicating that several countries in the United Nations do not have their own armed forces...” (Al Jazeera 4/1/2024) i.e. Biden is referring to a state of those types without armed forces! However, Trump mentioned the truth of his objective without deceiving the people. He stated during his election campaign, saying: “When you look at the map, a map of the Middle East, ‘Israel’ is a tiny little spot compared to these giant land masses. I actually said: ‘Is there any way of getting more?’” (Sky News 19/8/2024), meaning that he wants to expand the Jewish entity with the legitimacy of settlements in the West Bank and give them a free hand to seize lands and establish new settlements on them.
2- This is confirmed by his appointment of a person who shares his views as US Ambassador to the Jewish entity, namely Mike Huckabee, whom Trump described on his Truth Social account on 13/11/2024 as "He loves ‘Israel’ and the people of ‘Israel’, and likewise the people of ‘Israel’ love him, and Mike will work tirelessly to bring peace to the Middle East." Among Mike Huckabee's previous statements is what the BBC published on 13/11/2024, quoting the Jewish Channel 12, that Huckabee is famous for his statements in support of the Jewish entity, including statements he made in 2015 in which he said: "Israel’s historical connection to the region, spanning thousands of years, is even stronger than America’s 400-year connection to Manhattan.” He has video clips on social media that he published in 2017 in which he said, "There is no such thing as the West Bank, it is Judea and Samaria, there is no such thing as settlements, they are communities, they are neighborhoods, they are cities, there is no such thing as an occupation.”
3- This ambassador renewed his statements to the Jewish Channel 7 on 15/11/2024, saying: "I cannot say something that I do not believe in. I was never willing to use the term West Bank. There is no such thing. I am talking about Judea and Samaria. I tell people there is no occupation." He said: "Remember that during the four years that Trump was president, there was no president more supportive of Israel than him in history. Everything from recognizing Jerusalem as the capital to moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognizing the Golan Heights as legitimate property of the State of ‘Israel’, and also not trying to advance the two-state solution, because it is impractical and unimplementable [virtually unrealistic]." He said: "I do not believe that the two-state solution is legitimate. This is a position that I have held for years, and it is a position that Trump agrees with, and I expect it to continue." Through these statements, the features of Trump's policy towards the Palestinian issue appear, it is legitimizing the occupation in the West Bank and the settlements.
4- This means that the Trump administration does not have a specific new project for the Palestinian issue, to create a state for them, whatever its size. But rather things are moving towards an official American recognition of the Jewish entity through the legitimacy of the settlements in the West Bank, as indicated by the statements of the American ambassador to the Jewish entity, and his statement that Trump supports him in this. Trump praised him, which means that he praised him for his ideas on this issue. This is confirmed by Trump’s lifting of sanctions on the Jewish settlers who committed violations that America considered illegal during the Biden administration. The peace that Trump means is accepting the Jewish entity on the lands it seized in the West Bank and built settlements on, while giving the Palestinian Authority the right to remain currently with some autonomy so that it can continue to serve the Jewish entity under the name of security coordination, and exhausting the people by collecting taxes from them, to feed the men of the Palestinian Authority while providing some municipal services.
5- Trump tried to show his ability to achieve what he wants and that he is capable of making peace to delude the rulers of the region and give them hope as the devil gives hope to his followers. Al Jazeera reported on 23/1/2025: “US President Donald Trump said that his administration accomplished more in 4 days than the administration of former President Joe Biden accomplished in 4 years, stressing that if it were not for his administration, the ceasefire agreement in Gaza would not have been concluded this week. He also mentioned that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will invest $600 billion in the United States, but he will ask it to deliver it to a trillion dollars.” However, Trump attached a “bag of gifts” to this agreement for the Jewish entity, as the Jewish newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on 14/1/2025: “‘Israel’ will have the right to end the ceasefire if it deems it necessary, and the White House will throw its weight behind canceling the sanctions previously imposed by the Biden administration on some settlers who committed criminal acts, and will launch an international campaign against the two United Nations courts that launched investigations or prosecutions against Israel, especially against Netanyahu and his defense minister Galant on charges of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
6- Thus, Trump, during his first and current terms, has adopted the Jewish interests, even the international resolutions that were set by America and other major countries, America was pursuing countries that violated these resolutions. Trump has undermined these resolutions that oppose Jewish interests. He has undermined the United Nations resolutions that consider the West Bank an occupied land in which the Jewish entity has no right to settle, but rather must withdraw from it to the borders of June 4, 1967. He has also undermined the United Nations resolutions regarding East Jerusalem as occupied Palestinian land, as well as its resolutions regarding the Golan Heights as occupied Syrian land, and he has recognized the legitimacy of the Jewish entity’s decision to annex Jerusalem (al-Quds) and the Golan Heights. This confirms that he will recognize the legitimacy of the settlements and what the Jews have seized so far in the West Bank and allow more settlements to be established or expanded. This began when he pardoned the settlers who were subject to sanctions during Biden’s term.
7- Trump will continue his plan to establish a Jewish entity by making the rest of the countries in the region rise up and normalize relations with this entity to acknowledge its legitimacy and its usurpation of Palestine. Among the countries nominated for this is Saudi Arabia, especially since the Saudi Crown Prince’s connection is strong with Trump, who is strongly following up on the entity’s normalization with Saudi Arabia. This may not be delayed, as the Saudi regime’s complete compliance with what the Republican administration headed by Trump wants is understood by every person of sight and insight. Trump announced on 23/1/2025 that “Saudi Arabia will invest $600 billion in the American economy, and I will ask to raise it to a trillion dollars.” (Al-Hurra America, 23/1/2025), and he stated that this took place in a phone call with the Saudi Crown Prince, Bin Salman, on the evening of Wednesday 22/1/2025. That is, with just one phone call, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia immediately complied with the American president’s request to support the American economy with hundreds of billions of dollars. This indicates the extent of the Saudi regime’s readiness to submit to American requests during Trump’s term. Therefore, with just another phone call, Bin Salman will announce his readiness to normalize relations with the Jewish entity when asked to do so.
8- Accordingly, whoever contemplates Trump’s actions in support of the Jewish entity will find Trump’s statement included in the question about emptying the Gaza Strip of its people and annexing it to Jews, especially when asked whether this was a temporary or long-term proposal, Trump said, “It could be this or that” (Al Jazeera 26/1/2025), whoever contemplates this will find it a common thing for Trump. As for what was stated in the question: “Doesn't this mean that Trump is putting the rulers of Jordan and Egypt in a stifling circle of embarrassment, especially since they had previously stated that they did not agree to this displacement?” Trump does not care about them, whether they are suffocating or not, especially since he had previously made a clearer statement than this statement, he had previously said: “When you look at the map, a map of the Middle East, ‘Israel’ is a tiny little spot compared to these giant land masses. I actually said: ‘Is there any way of getting more?’” (Sky News 19/8/2024). His previous statement was about expanding the entity, and his current statement is a statement of one of the ways to expand the entity, and it seems that Trump wants to prepare the atmosphere for the agent rulers to proceed with this forced displacement that the rulers had previously rejected, especially in Egypt and Jordan. In other words, it is a process of “testing the waters” to see if these rulers can pressure the people to implement Trump’s statement and displace them from their countries, empty them and annex them to Jews, or postpone this to another time that Trump deems appropriate if the people stand up to the two regimes and prevent them from this step, which is a betrayal to Allah, His Messenger and the believers.
9- We realize that the rulers in Muslim countries, especially around Palestine, are not ashamed before Allah, His Messenger, and the believers, and implementing Trump's order is one of their priorities. This is clear from their scrambling to congratulate Trump on his victory in the elections and his presidency of the United States, even though he did not hide his loyalty to the Jews and his hostility to Islam and Muslims. However, these rulers competed to congratulate him:
a- RT - Arab World News - 6/11/2024, published: Quoting the Saudi SPA news agency, the Saudi king's congratulations to Trump who praised "the distinct close historical relations between the two friendly countries and peoples, which everyone seeks to strengthen and develop in all fields." It also published the congratulations of the Turkish president via the X platform: "I congratulate my friend Donald Trump who won the presidential elections…we hope that Turkish-US relations will be strengthened."
b- Al Jazeera published on 6/11/2024 the congratulation of the Egyptian President: "I extend my sincere congratulations to the US President-elect Donald J. Trump…and to foster the strategic partnership between Egypt and the U.S. and their peoples. … advancing the shared interests of the two friendly countries.” And from the Jordanian King, “Warmest congratulations to President Donald Trump on winning the US presidential election. Looking forward to working with you again to bolster Jordan’s longstanding partnership with the United States..." Also from the Prime Minister of Pakistan on the X website, "Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his historic victory for a second term! I look forward to working closely with the incoming Administration to further strengthen and broaden the Pakistan- U.S. partnership.”
c- Even Ahmad al-Sharaa, the head of the new administration in Syria, followed the same path and posted on Facebook on 20/1/2025: “On behalf of the leadership and people of the Syrian Arab Republic, I congratulate Donald Trump as President of the United States of America.” He said, “We are confident that he is the leader to bring peace to the Middle East and restore stability to the region.”
These are the rulers of Muslim countries. May Allah condemn them, how they deluded.
10- However, we also realize that the Ummah of the Messenger of Allah (saw) with its honest and sincere men, will render the statements of Trump and his followers from those rulers, into scattered particles of dust. The adherence of the people of Palestine, the blessed land, is a well-known fact in their country. Whoever watched them walking in their thousands on their feet, in difficult weather conditions and even more difficult ground conditions, hastening to their homes, which they know have been destroyed by the brutal aggression of the Jews, yet to them they consider reaching them a great victory. Whoever has seen all of that and contemplated on it realizes that Trump’s statements and his plot to empty Palestine of its people, even if it is mixed with the plots of his loyalists from the Ruwaibidha (incompetent ignorant) rulers, all of that will backfire on them:
﴿وَقَدْ مَكَرُوا مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِنْدَ اللهِ مَكْرُهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ الْجِبَالُ﴾
“They devised every plot, which was fully known to Allah, but their plotting was not enough to ˹even˺ overpower mountains ˹let alone Allah˺” [Ibrahim: 46]. Then the Blessed Land will return to its people, the abode of Islam. All of these Ruwaibidha rulers will disappear, and the Islamic state, the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate), will return, Allah willing. Fighting the Jews and removing their occupation will happen, Allah willing. The Sadiq al-Musadaq (Truthful, the Trusted One) (saw) said in Musnad of Ahmad on the authority of Hudhayfah: » ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ...«“Then there will be Khilafah on the method of Prophethood…” Al-Bukhari also narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Omar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: «تُقَاتِلُكُمْ الْيَهُودُ فَتُسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ...» “The Jews will fight you, and you will prevail over them” Muslim also narrated it with the wording of Ibn Umar, on the authority of the Prophet (saw) who said: «لَتُقَاتِلُنَّ الْيَهُودَ فَلَتَقْتُلُنَّهُمْ...»“You will fight the Jews and kill them…” Then the earth shines with the victory of Allah, Al-Qawi Al-Aziz.
11- But as we have said before, and we repeat it in this conclusion:
“However, Allah’s law required that He does not send down angels from heaven to establish for us a Khilafah (Caliphate) to fight our enemy while we are sitting. Rather, He sends down His angels as reinforcements and good tidings of His Nusrah (victory) to men who believed in their Lord and He increased them in guidance, Muslim soldiers, patient in war, who are protected by their leader and fight their enemies behind him:
﴿بَلَى إِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا وَيَأْتُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْرِهِمْ هَذَا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِخَمْسَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ﴾
“Most certainly, if you ˹believers˺ are firm and mindful ˹of Allah˺ and the enemy launches a sudden attack on you, Allah will reinforce you with five thousand angels designated ˹for battle˺” [Aali-Imran: 125].Then we will be among those who deserve the glad-tidings.:
﴿نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾
“… Help from Allah and an imminent victory. ˹So˺ give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the believers” [As-Saf: 13].”
