Comment on “Trump’s Unorthodox Strategy: Ambition for Historic Achievement Leaves Palestinians Behind” [in Japanese]

On February 5, 2025, a comment by Professor Maiko Ichihara (Graduate School of Law) on the Asahi shimbun article, “Trump’s Unorthodox Strategy: Ambition for Historic Achievement Leaves Palestinians Behind.” was published. The article discusses a reported statement by President Trump suggesting that residents be removed from the Gaza Strip, which would then be owned by the United States and redeveloped as a resort area. Professor Ichihara warned that such a proposal constitutes a grave violation of Palestinian sovereignty and could provoke strong backlash from Hamas. She further cautioned that the remark is dangerously reckless, with the potential to destabilize not only the Middle East but also the United States itself.
