Very recommendable! Hopefully, President Trump will not make a fool out of himself on this issue.
Remember and keep in mind that many of the so called Palestinians were Arab immigrants from neighboring Arab countries who came after Israel become a hospitable land thanks to Jewish efforts.
"... What became Israel was a malarial patch of land, a discarded backwater until Zionist settlers drained swamps and transformed it into rich agricultural land.
For all the talk by Palestinian advocates of Zionists as outsiders to the land, the Palestinians themselves were. The Arab influx into the land originated from today’s Syria and coincided with Zionist eradication of malaria.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt observed that, “the Arab immigration into Palestine since 1921 has vastly exceeded the total Jewish immigration during this whole period,” with migrants coming from both Syria and Egypt. As Palestine filled, real estate prices soared—a basic calculation of supply and demand.
In 1937, the British-sponsored Peel Commission reported that a “shortfall of land is, we consider, due less to the amount of land acquired by Jews than to the increase in the Arab population.” If Israel and later Singapore could take a resource-free wasteland and thrive upon it, there should be no reason why Palestinians could not. ...

The problem with Gaza, however, has never been poverty. After all, there are many poor countries—Malawi and Senegal, for example—that are democratic and do not tolerate terrorism. Palestinian proponents can argue that lack of independence explains their embrace of terror, but this too is false.
Somaliland enjoys no international recognition, no appreciable resources, is almost completely Muslim, and yet has developed good governance, a stable democracy, and a no-nonsense attitude rejecting terrorism. Indeed, if terrorists seek to recruit a young Somalilander, his own parents likely will turn him into authorities to keep the peace and prevent the stain to family honor. Such stability, democracy, and success are the major reasons why Somaliland deserves the investment and recognition more than the Palestinians of Gaza. ...
Famously, when Israel turned over Gaza, they transferred its economic infrastructure to the Palestinian authorities. I visited at the time and saw the greenhouses and industrial sites upon which Gaza could have staked its economy and provided jobs; instead, they chose to loot and destroy.
Nothing has changed. The problem has never been poverty, but rather ideology. Too many Gazans would rather remain poor and kill Jews than get rich and live in peace. They root their logic in a twisted religious exegesis that money will not reverse. ..."
