Ex-CIA Man Warns Of Quick, Scary Scenario For Americans After Trump Gaza Proposal
HuffPost
The president's outrageous idea for Gaza set off a red alert for intel expert Marc Polymeropoulos on "Morning Joe."
President Donald Trump’s proposal to “take over” Gaza and relocate its 2 million residents could motivate terror groups intent on killing Americans, former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos said on “Morning Joe” Wednesday. (Watch the video below.)
“I think every CIA station chief in the Middle East woke up this morning with a migraine headache, because there’s a potential for a generational counterterrorism nightmare here,” Polymeropoulos said.
Trump’s reported proposal to turn the devastated region into the “Riviera of the Middle East” under U.S. “ownership” has been met with worldwide scorn, in no small part because it could escalate tensions in the region and endanger the chances of a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinian population.
It could also have immediate dire consequences for Americans, according to Polymeropoulos.
“You have to look at the words that Donald Trump used yesterday,” he said. “Quote, ‘take over Gaza,’ ‘own Gaza.’ These are triggering mechanisms for Islamic extremist groups.”
