Tom Friedman: Trump’s Gaza Plan Is ‘Single, Craziest Peace Initiative I’ve Ever Heard;’ ‘It’s Not a Plan, It’s a Riff’

‘It seems to change every single day’

EXCERPT:

FRIEDMAN: "Well, as I said in my column for tonight, Anderson, in The Times, I think it‘s the single craziest peace initiative I‘ve ever heard. It‘s clearly not thought out. It was not vetted by experts. It was not run through the countries we‘re expecting to take these Palestinians, 2 million people plus. It was — it‘s not really a plan, Anderson. It‘s a riff. And it seems to change every single day. And I don‘t see how it‘s going to be implemented. I don‘t see who‘s going to transfer these people. I don‘t see how they‘re going to go voluntarily. America, we are told, is not going to send any troops or pay any costs. You know, it‘s — it‘s just — it‘s just crazy. It‘s hard to take seriously, except we‘re dealing with people‘s lives and we‘re dealing with American allies in the Arab world, who could be easily destabilized by this."
