Gershon Baskin, an Israeli analyst, has said that US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza is “imperialism and ethnic cleansing”. He called it a sign of “a world gone upside down” and that “Trump is the most dangerous person in the world.”
In a 20-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Baskin, who is the Middle East Director of the International Communities Organisation, said that Trump is “unpredictable, unreliable and unprincipled”.
In the interview, Baskin analysed the future of the two-state solution and the response of the Israeli far-right to Trump’s statements. He also spoke about the response of Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, as well as what Trump has said about the possibility that US could accept Israel’s annexation of the West Bank.
