Trump’s Gaza Plan: The Wholesale Energy Market Faces Another Shock

Donald Trump is back, and so is his signature chaos. His latest grand plan? A radical “solution” for Gaza—displacing Palestinians and redeveloping the territory as a “Middle Eastern Riviera.” The reaction from global leaders has been swift and almost universally negative. But beyond the geopolitical fallout, there’s another, more immediate concern: energy markets.

In an era where the UK and Europe are already navigating volatile gas prices and fragile supply chains, Trump’s Gaza gambit threatens to send wholesale energy costs spiraling once again. If conflict erupts across the Middle East, if LNG shipping routes through the Suez Canal are disrupted, and if US-Europe relations take another hit, energy markets could be in for a painful shock.
