Cato scholar Justin Logan wrote a blog post titled “The Prospects for Mar-a-Gaza” in which he outlines why President Donald Trump’s plan to take over the Gaza Strip is not only unrealistic but also not in the interest of the United States.

He notes, “It would require huge numbers of US troops on the ground to try to maintain order in the Gaza Strip” and added that “Such a plan would involve somehow moving almost 2 million Palestinians away from their homes while construction firms haul away rubble and construct new buildings.”
