The Big Picture. Trumping Gaza

‘I'm committed to buying and owning Gaza,’ Donald Trump claims. Trump plans to build a Middle Eastern Riviera in Gaza, where the Palestinians currently reside.

The American president, who spent many years in the real estate business, continues to approach international politics as a businessman looking to make a deal.

However, there is no place for the Palestinians in this future luxury resort – Trump proposes that they be relocated to Jordan and Egypt. As for the region’s lack of freshwater, the former developer wants to alleviate this by transporting icebergs from the shores of Greenland to the coast of Gaza.

Will he succeed in realizing these grandiose plans? RT discusses Trump's ideas with Grigory Lukyanov, a researcher at the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and political scientist Kirill Benediktov, author of a book on Donald Trump.
