Hello and welcome to the GZero World Podcast.

This is where you'll find extended versions of my conversations on public television.

I'm Ian Bremmer, and today, as a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas holds,

we're talking about Gaza's future.

Donald Trump shocked the world by suggesting the United States take over Gaza, turn it into the Riviera of the Middle East and relocate the Gazans.

Was this naive? Was he just trolling? Or, as Israeli Prime Minister Nanyahu hinted, could he be on to something?

Here's a more basic question. How should we think about where a people live? For millennia,

land has shaped identity, and by the end of the Second World War, two-thirds of Europe's Jews

had been murdered. Millions more uprooted from their homes. Israel's founders sought to create a

nation that could not only serve as a refuge, but put Jewish identity

literally on the map. Palestinians too have a history of displacement. The 1948 Israel-Arab

War forced 750,000 Palestinians, 80% of their population, to flee their homes, tripling Gaza's population.

Today, Trump has one answer for where displaced Gazans should go.

Thousands who marched up the Gaza Strip to return to their level neighborhoods, they have another.

So who gets to decide?

Joining me is someone with a direct stake in that answer,

Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Riyadh Mansour.

I spoke with Mansour on Monday, February 10th,

and events have continued to rapidly unfold since.

Let's get to it.

Music Ambassador Riyadh-Bansur, it's nice to have you back on the show.

Thank you very much for having me.
