During a recent dinner at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu proposed that other countries should accept Palestinians wishing to leave Gaza. While emphasizing freedom of choice for Gazans, he also noted collaboration with the US to identify potential host countries. Responses to this suggestion on MSNBC's Morning Joe were overwhelmingly critical. Host Joe Scarborough deemed the idea unrealistic, stating regional leaders showed no interest in additional Palestinians. He argued that displacing indigenous Palestinians from their ancestral lands poses a serious moral and practical dilemma.
Netanyahu floated the controversial idea of encouraging Gazans to emigrate, suggesting cooperation with the US and unnamed third countries to facilitate such a move.
Scarborough panned the idea as preposterous and a non-starter in conversation, stating that the appetite for accepting more Palestinians in neighboring countries is nonexistent.
Scarborough expressed skepticism over the notion that pushing Palestinians off their land is a solution, labeling it a non-starter given their historical ties to the land.
Haass acknowledged the complexity of the situation in discussing the Arab leaders' disinterest in further accommodating Palestinians.
