President Donald Trump, amid his journey to the Middle East to finalize a peace agreement following a two-year conflict between Israel and Hamas, faces criticism from conservative commentator Candace Owens. Owens has accused the President of aiming for the Nobel Peace Prize by allowing what she describes as the "ethnic cleansing of Gaza." The accusation comes as the President announced the cessation of hostilities and is en route to Egypt to sign the peace treaty.
Owens' allegations were shared on social media, where she suggested a nefarious intent behind the peace efforts, stating, "Trump wants a Nobel Prize for the planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza they can profit off of and turn into a beach town… every family set to inherit what they did will be cursed… when they build a Trump Hotel there, I caution to stay far away from that cursed land."
Despite the historic peace initiative, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Venezuelan activist Maria Corina Machado, not to President Trump. The comments from Owens, who has parted ways with the Daily Wire and expressed contentious views on Israel, have intensified the online discourse regarding the President's foreign policy.
Owens has a history of provocative statements, including anti-Israel sentiments that have made her a polarizing figure, especially since the outbreak of hostilities on October 7, 2023. Her rhetoric has previously aligned with that of rapper Kanye West, known as Ye, who has also been embroiled in controversy over his views on the Jewish State and admiration for Adolf Hitler.
In the wake of her latest remarks, the conversation has extended to President Trump's family, with speculations about Jared Kushner's involvement in potential business ventures in Gaza. A tweet by DeSota Wilson echoed Owens' sentiments, suggesting Kushner might explore opportunities along the Gaza coastline for future property developments.
While some social media users support Owens' stance, others have condemned her remarks as spreading hate comparable to historical Nazi propaganda. Russell Drew, an online commenter, articulated this by stating, "The Far Left and the Far Right always intersect at Antisemitism Avenue. The comments to this post prove it. Candace Owens is guilty of spreading some truly Goebbels-level hate."
As the situation unfolds, the international community watches closely to see the outcome of President Trump's peace efforts and the reactions that continue to emerge from various corners of the political spectrum.
