Chris Cuomo is left stunned as former general explains why Trump’s Gaza plan could actually work.

CUOMO: “So Stephen A and I are scratching our heads, saying this can’t be right. It doesn’t make sense that President Trump said that America is going to have an ownership position in Gaza and do a great job with it, and maybe the people there won’t be allowed to come back. Do you think that that is going to hold up as legit policy of the United States in that arena?”

“Well, first, it could,” responded General Wesley Clark.

He said that Trump’s Gaza plan “makes some common sense,” revealing that he personally pitched a similar refugee strategy to the White House, proposing that Gazans be temporarily relocated to Egypt and the Negev Desert under UN oversight.

Clark pointed to past U.S. interventions as proof that it could work, recalling Haiti in 1994 and the Bosnia conflict, where the U.S. went in with “strategic consent and the right rules of engagement”—and “not a single American troop was killed.”

But he didn’t ignore the risks. “What happens when the first sniper kills an American soldier?” he warned.

Despite the challenges, Clark didn’t dismiss the idea outright, saying, “It’s not impossible,” leaving Cuomo’s extreme doubt about Trump's proposal in shambles.
