The claim that the Madagascar Plan was viable until 1943 is contradicted by sources showing it was judged technically unfeasible after the Battle of Britain in 1940 and was replaced in 1942 by resettlement in Eastern Europe.
What was said
… over to this organized, hyper militaristic Jewish cadre, then let them curate military and political power at international law and exploit and dominate our Arab allies and, you know, kick the Europeans out of the Near East. That's that ridiculous, you know, the Madagascar Plan, which really had legs until 1943, because the year 1942 changed everything, uhm, in terms of political and military developments.

Contradicts. GlobalSecurity states the Madagascar Plan became technically unfeasible after Germany lost the Battle of Britain in October 1940, and that in 1942 Germany replaced it with resettlement in Eastern Europe.[2]
Contradicts. Eurasia Review says the plan was unachievable because Britain was not defeated, and that Hitler recalled the abandoned plan in May 1942 before the Eastern resettlement approach took over.[3]
Contradicts. Britannica says the plan was ultimately deemed impractical and discarded, because the Nazis could not control the seas needed for such a deportation and resources were scarce.[4]
Contradicts. The USF Holocaust encyclopedia entry says the plan was ultimately considered impractical and abandoned.[1]
Supports. Wikipedia reports the plan was never realized because of the British takeover of Madagascar in 1942, and that the island passed to Free France in 1943. This shows the plan's end came from the 1942 invasion, not a viable policy running to 1943, though it is a low-credibility source.[5]
Context. Encyclopedia.com describes the project as temporarily shelved after the war and revived after the fall of France in 1940, so the period of serious consideration centred on 1940 to 1941.[6]
