Last night, President Trump proposed a plan to displace all the Palestinians from Gaza, and get Jordan and Egypt to take them in, while the U.S. takes ownership of Gaza and rebuilds it into a Middle East Riviera. We'll talk with New Yorker staff writer Dexter Filkins about the impact of this proposal. We'll also talk with him about the recruitment crisis in the U.S. military, which has led military leaders to ask: can our country defend itself if not enough people are willing or able to fight? It's the subject of his latest article in the New Yorker. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy

  • Terry.

  • This is FRESH air.

  • I'm Terry Gross.

  • The show you're about to hear isn't the one we'd planned for today, so let me take a moment to explain.

  • We intended to broadcast the interview I recorded yesterday about the recruiting crisis in the military

  • and how Trump blamed it on the military's DEI programs,

  • which is the subject of Dexter Filkins latest article in the New Yorker.

  • In that interview with Filkins,

  • we also talked about how the Middle east was being reshaped by the Israel Hamas war

  • and the overthrow of Syria's dictator,

  • Bashar al Assad.

  • But last night, at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu,

  • Trump proposed a shocking way he'd like to reshape the region.

  • His idea is for all the Palestinians to leave Gaza,

  • get Jordan and Egypt to take them in while the US Takes ownership of Gaza and rebuilds it.

  • He didn't rule out sending US Troops into Gaza.

  • We brought back Filkins this morning to talk about Trump's proposal.

  • In the second half of today's show,

  • we'll hear the interview we recorded yesterday morning about the shortage of recruits in the US Military

  • and how that's leaving us vulnerable.
