Arabs are determined not to repeat history as they face ongoing challenges in the Middle East. Both Jared Kushner and Joe Biden, former and current US leaders, have made mistakes in their approach to the region. Trump's threats to displace Palestinians and turn Gaza into a real estate opportunity are empty and will not lead to mass emigration. The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians has been a long-standing objective of Israeli policies, causing immense pain and displacement. The Arab countries that have hosted Palestinian refugees have been shaped by their presence, and any further displacement would have devastating consequences. It is crucial for the US administration to understand the history and avoid disastrous outcomes.
