Meanwhile, the Palestinian presidency’s press claimed that “Palestine with his land, history and holy sites are not sold.”
Nabil Abu Ruden also stated that the Palestinians “will not abandon the inch of their land”, whether in the gas or on the occupied western shore.
“The Palestinian people and their leadership will not allow repeating the catastrophe of 1948 and 1967, and will disrupt any plan aimed at eliminating their fair reason, through investment projects, which are not in Palestine or on their land.”
In 1948, “Nakba”, which means “disaster” in Arabic, saw hundreds of thousands of Palestinians running away or expelled from their homes before and during the war, which followed the creation of the state of Israel.
Many of these refugees were in Gaza, where they and their descendants make three quarters of the population. Another 900,000 registered refugees live on the Western Bank, which Israel held in the War in the Middle East 1967, and 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, the UN reports.
Israel unilaterally withdrew his troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005, although it retained control over the common border, airspace and shoreline, giving it effective control over the movement of people and goods. The UN is still considering gas as Israeli due to the level of Israel’s control.
On Wednesday, the King of Jordan expressed “the abandonment of any attempts to annex the land or to displace the Palestinians into the gas and the Western Bank”, while the Egyptian Foreign Minister emphasized the importance of the reconstruction “without Palestinians leaving the Gaza Strip”.
Hamas – provided as a terrorist organization of Israel, the United States, the UK and other countries – said the Trump’s plan was “inappropriate” and “only” exposes oil to fire in the region.
The UN Human Rights Office warned that any violent transfer or deportation of people from the occupied territory was strictly prohibited in accordance with international law.
The UN Secretary -General also stated that it was “important to avoid any form of ethnic purification” and emphasized that the gas will become an integral part of the future Palestinian state.
Antonio Guteres told a meeting in New York that the world “saw cold, systematic degumanization and demonization of the whole people.”
