Question:
[On 2025/01/26, Al Jazeera published on its website: “US President Donald Trump said 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.’”] Does this not mean that Trump is placing the rulers of Jordan and Egypt in a suffocating circle of embarrassment, especially since they previously declared that they do not agree to this displacement? Furthermore, 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—indeed, all Muslim rulers—are as silent as the grave, without any movement in his face? Does this signify a change in US policy, or is it the same policy with a different style?
Answer:
To clarify the answer to the above inquiries, we review the following matters:
Trump does not hide his goals but states them explicitly, unlike his predecessor Biden. For example, Biden used to delude people that America was working to implement the "Two-State Solution" project, but it was merely words without meaning! Al Jazeera published on its website on 2024/01/04: (“US President Joe Biden said yesterday, Friday, that there are a number of patterns for a two-state solution, noting that several countries in the United Nations do not have their own armed forces...” Al Jazeera, 2024/01/04). This means Biden was referring to a state of those patterns without armed forces! However, Trump mentioned the reality of his endeavor without deluding people. He declared during his election campaign: (“When I look at the map of the Middle East, I find Israel to be a very small spot. In fact, I said, is there a way to get more space? It is very small...” Sky News, 2024/08/19). This means he wants to expand the Jewish entity by legitimizing settlements in the West Bank and giving them a free hand to seize land and establish new settlements.
This is confirmed by his appointment of a person who adopts his vision as the US Ambassador to the Jewish entity: Mike Huckabee. Trump described him on his account on Truth Social on 2024/11/13 as one who “loves Israel and the people of Israel, and similarly, the people of Israel love him. Mike will work tirelessly to bring peace to the Middle East.” Among Mike Huckabee’s previous statements, as published by the BBC on 2024/11/13 citing Jewish Channel 12, is that Huckabee is famous for his pro-Jewish entity statements, including his 2015 statement saying: “Israel's claim to the West Bank is stronger than the United States' claim to Manhattan.” He also has videos on social media published in 2017 in which he says, “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.”
This ambassador renewed those statements with Jewish Channel 7 on 2024/11/13, saying: “I cannot say something I do not believe in. I have never been willing to use the term West Bank; there is no such thing. I am talking about Judea and Samaria. And I tell people there is no occupation.” He said: “Remember that during the four years Trump spent as president, there was no president more pro-Israel in history than him. Everything from recognizing Jerusalem as the capital to moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognizing the Golan Heights as legitimate property of the State of Israel, and also not trying to push the two-state solution because it is impractical and unenforceable.” He added, “I do not believe that the two-state solution is legitimate. This is a position I have held for years, and it is a position Trump agrees with, and I expect it to continue.” Through these statements, the features of Trump’s policy toward the Palestinian cause appear: the legitimization of the occupation in the West Bank and the settlements.
This means that the Trump administration does not have a specific new project for the Palestinian issue by creating a state for them, regardless of its size. Rather, the matter is moving toward official American recognition of the Jewish entity’s legitimacy over the settlements in the West Bank, as indicated by the statements of the US Ambassador to the Jewish entity and his remark that Trump supports him in this. Trump has showered him with praise, which means praising the ideas he carries regarding this issue. This is confirmed by Trump lifting sanctions on Jewish settlers who committed violations that America considered illegal during the Biden administration. The "peace" that Trump means is the acceptance of the Jewish entity on the lands it has seized in the West Bank and established settlements upon, while giving the Palestinian Authority the right to remain for now with a form of self-rule so it can continue to serve the Jewish entity under the name of "security coordination," exhausting the people by collecting taxes from them to sustain the Authority's men while providing some municipal services.
Trump tried to show his ability to achieve what he wants and that he is the one capable of making peace, to delude the rulers of the region and give them false hopes just as Satan promises his followers. Al Jazeera published on 2025/01/23: (“US President Donald Trump said that his administration achieved in 4 days more than the administration of former President Joe Biden achieved in 4 years, stressing that without 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 dollars in the United States, but he will ask them to bring it to a trillion dollars...”). Despite this, Trump attached a "bag of gifts" to this agreement for the Jewish entity, as mentioned by the Jewish newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth on 2025/01/14: (“Israel will have the right to end the ceasefire if it sees it necessary, and the White House will throw its weight behind canceling the sanctions that preceded it from the Biden administration on some settlers who committed criminal acts, and will launch an international campaign against the two UN courts that launched investigations or prosecutions against Israel, particularly against Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Gallant... on charges of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity”).
Thus, Trump, in his first and current presidential terms, adopts the interests of the Jews. Even international resolutions drafted by America and other major powers—for which America used to prosecute countries that violated them—Trump has blown up those resolutions that oppose the interests of the Jews. He demolished the UN resolutions that consider the West Bank occupied territory where the Jewish entity has no right to settle, but must withdraw to the borders of June 4, 1967. He also demolished UN resolutions regarding East Jerusalem as occupied Palestinian territory, as well as its resolutions regarding the Golan Heights as occupied Syrian land, and recognized the legitimacy of the Jewish entity's decision to annex Jerusalem and the 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 for more settlements to be established or expanded. This began when he issued a pardon for the settlers on whom sanctions were imposed during Biden's era.
Trump will continue his plan to consolidate the Jewish entity by having the rest of the countries in the region normalize (tatbee’) 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 a strong one with Trump, who is vigorously following up on the entity's normalization with Saudi Arabia. This may not be delayed; the Saudi regime's complete compliance with what the Republican administration led by Trump wants is realized by anyone with vision and insight. Trump announced on 2025/01/23 that (“Saudi Arabia will invest 600 billion dollars in the American economy, and I will ask for it to be brought to a trillion dollars”... Al-Hurra American, 2025/01/23). He mentioned that this took place in a phone call with the Saudi Crown Prince, Ibn Salman, on Wednesday evening, 2025/01/22. This means that with just one phone call, the actual ruler of Saudi Arabia immediately complied with the US 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 in the era of Trump. Therefore, with just another phone call, Ibn Salman will come forward and announce his readiness to normalize with the Jewish entity when requested.
Accordingly, whoever contemplates Trump’s actions in support of the Jewish entity will find Trump’s statement mentioned in the question about emptying the Strip of its people and annexing it to the Jews—especially when he (“was asked whether this was a temporary or long-term proposal, Trump said ‘It could be this or that’”... Al Jazeera, 2025/01/26)—whoever contemplates this will find it a regular matter for Trump. As for what came in the question: (“Does this not mean that Trump is placing the rulers of Jordan and Egypt in a suffocating circle of embarrassment, especially since they previously declared that they do not agree to this displacement?”), Trump does not care about them, whether they suffocate or not. This is especially true since he has previously stated even more clearly than this: (“When I look at the map of the Middle East, I find Israel to be a very small spot. In fact, I said, is there a way to get more space? It is very small...” Sky News, 2024/08/19). His previous statement was about expanding the entity, and his current statement is a clarification of one of the methods to expand the entity. It seems Trump wants to prepare the atmosphere for the agent rulers to proceed with this forced displacement, which 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 land to empty and annex it to the Jews, or to postpone that to another time Trump deems appropriate if the people stand in the face of the two regimes and prevent them from this step, which is a betrayal of Allah, His Messenger, and the believers.
We realize that the rulers in the Muslim lands, especially around Palestine, have no shame before Allah, His Messenger, and the believers, and that implementing Trump's orders is among their priorities. This is clear from their rush to congratulate Trump on his victory in the elections and his presidency of the United States, despite the fact that he did not hide his loyalty to the Jews and his hostility to Islam and Muslims. Nonetheless, these rulers competed to congratulate him:
a- RT (Arabic World News) published on 2024/11/6: [Citing the Saudi SPA news agency, the Saudi King’s congratulations to Trump, praising “the excellence of the close historical relations existing between the two friendly countries and peoples, which everyone seeks to strengthen and develop in all fields.” It also published the Turkish President’s congratulations... (He said via the X platform: “I congratulate my friend Donald Trump, who won the presidential elections... We hope that Turkish-American relations will be strengthened...”)]
b- Then Al Jazeera published on 2024/11/06 a congratulation from the Egyptian President: [“I extend my sincere congratulations to the elected US President Donald Trump... and the strengthening of the strategic partnership relations between Egypt and the United States and their two friendly peoples.” Then from the Jordanian King: “Warmest congratulations to President Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential elections. We look forward to working with you again to strengthen the long-standing partnership between Jordan and the United States...”, and also from the Prime Minister of Pakistan on the X site: “I congratulate President-elect Donald Trump on his historic victory for a second term! I look forward to working closely with the incoming administration to strengthen and expand the partnership between Pakistan and the United States”] ...etc.
c- Even Ahmad al-Sharaa, the head of the new administration in Syria, followed the same path, posting on Facebook on 2025/01/20: “On behalf of the leadership and people of the Syrian Arab Republic, I congratulate Donald Trump as President of the United States of America,” and said, “We are confident that Trump is the capable leader who will bring peace to the Middle East and restore stability to the region.”
These are the rulers in the Muslim lands; may Allah fight them, how they are deluded.
Nevertheless, we also realize that the Ummah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, with its truthful and sincere men, will make the statements of Trump and his followers among those rulers scattered dust. The adherence of the people of Palestine, the Blessed Land, to their homes is a witnessed matter. Whoever has seen their thousands walking on foot in difficult weather conditions and even more difficult ground conditions, yet they hasten their steps to their homes, which they know the brutal Jewish aggression has destroyed, but they consider reaching them a great victory—whoever has seen all that and contemplated it realizes that Trump's statements and his plot to empty Palestine of its people, even if mixed with the plot of his loyalists among the ruwaibidah (insignificant) rulers, all of that will recoil upon its makers:
وَقَدْ مَكَرُوا مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِنْدَ اللهِ مَكْرُهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ الْجِبَالُ
"And they had planned their plan, but with Allah is [recorded] their plan, even if their plan had been [sufficient] to do away with the mountains." (Surah Ibrahim 14:46)
Thereafter, the Blessed Land will return to its people as a Dar al-Islam (Abode of Islam). For all these ruwaibidah will vanish, and the State of Islam, the Righteous Khilafah, is returning by the will of Allah. The fighting of the Jews and the removal of their occupation is coming by the will of Allah. The Truthful and Confirmed one ﷺ said in Musnad Ahmad on the authority of Hudhayfah:
ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ
“...Then there will be a Khilafah upon the method of the Prophethood.”
Similarly, Al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Umar (ra) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying:
تُقَاتِلُكُمْ الْيَهُودُ فَتُسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ
“The Jews will fight you, and you will be given power over them...”
Also, Muslim narrated it with the wording on the authority of Ibn Umar from the Prophet ﷺ who said:
لَتُقَاتِلُنَّ الْيَهُودَ فَلَتَقْتُلُنَّهُمْ
“You will surely fight the Jews and you will surely kill them...”
Then the earth will shine with the victory of Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Powerful.
But as we have said before, and we repeat in this conclusion:
[However, the Sunnah of Allah necessitated that angels do not descend upon us from the sky to establish a Khilafah for us that fights our enemy while we sit idle. Rather, He sends down His angels as support and glad tidings of His victory to men who believed in their Lord and He increased them in guidance—Muslim soldiers, patient in war, shielding themselves with their Imam and fighting their enemies from behind him:
بَلَى إِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا وَيَأْتُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْرِهِمْ هَذَا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِخَمْسَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ
"Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction]." (Surah Aal-i-Imran 3:125)
Then we will be among those who are entitled to the glad tidings:
نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
"Victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers." (Surah As-Saff 61:13)]
