00:00What the Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now saying sounds a bit different from what we heard on Tuesday night, doesn't it?
00:06He said this wasn't meant to be a hostile idea, he says, and he says the transfer of people from Gaza would only be temporary.
00:14Do you think people would believe that?
00:15No, it was the same story in 1948, where the Palestinians thought, 758,000 of them, for God's grace, thought that it was temporary, and they held their keys and left.
00:28And since 1948, not a single human being came back to their own origins.
00:38So what he is saying, he is trying to put some cosmetics on an improvised, I would say, non-calculative type of a statement that President Trump, and now they are trying basically to justify it in a positive manner.
00:56But the intention is very clear. They want to deport 2.2 million Palestinians living in Gaza, flattening Gaza, using Gaza for their own national interests when it comes to gas and oil,
01:08and flattening Gaza will basically, as far as Israel is concerned, will secure its borders and it will reap the benefit of the gas and oil with the United States,
01:20let alone believing that they will create summer resorts and what have you, will pay dividends. As he said, it will be the Riviera of the Middle East.
01:29I mean, this is something that is unbelievable.
01:33You cannot expect a president of the United States to be so naive in dealing with international politics and in a conflict that so many administrations tried to, I mean, come with a resolution to this conflict,
01:49and they did not succeed because of the pressures of the Zionist lobby. But this guy comes and says to Israel, you stand aside, I will take care of business for you.
02:03Thank you very much.
