The Guardian view on Trump’s foreign policy: an alarming new order takes shape | Editorial
The US’s former allies must not normalise or legitimise the president’s lawless concept of international deal-making
Nothing about Donald Trump’s notion that Gaza should come under US control makes sense according to established laws and norms of international relations. But the current White House regime despises the old way of doing things and intends to reshape the world so drastically that restoration of a pre-Trumpian order will be impossible.
The absurd incoherence of Mr Trump’s proposal that the US “take over” Gaza doesn’t make it any less sinister. The requirement that 2.2 million Palestinians be forcibly resettled in neighbouring Arab states amounts to unambiguous endorsement of a criminal atrocity – ethnic cleansing.
