US President Donald Trump's proposed solution of moving 2.3 million Gazans to Egypt, Jordan, and other countries is unlikely to happen. Egypt and Jordan fear that taking in large numbers of Palestinians could lead to the Muslim Brotherhood taking over. The majority of Gazans are unlikely to leave due to Palestinian nationalism, Hamas ideology, and a desire to stay on their land. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's goal is to get normalization with Saudi Arabia without agreeing to a Palestinian state. Trump's leverage of sanctions and force is unlikely to sway Egypt, Jordan, or the majority of Gazans. The impact of Trump's proposal remains uncertain.
