AFPPresident Donald Trump said he “strives to buy and own” a gas strip and relocation of two million Palestinians living there, despite the global condemnation of the plan he presented last week.
He told reporters that he could allow countries in the Middle East to participate in the restoration of the territory, and that he would convince that Palestinian refugees “would live beautifully.”
Both the Palestinian authorities and the armed group of Hamas, the 16-month war with Israel caused widespread destruction in the gas, confirmed that the Palestinian land is “not sold”.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s proposal as “revolutionary and creative”.
In Gaza, this happened for three weeks in a delicate ceasefire during which Hamas released some Israeli hostages he spent in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 were taken hostage.
Since then, more than 48 180 people have been killed in Gaza, the Ministry of Health reports.
Most of the gas population has also been displaced several times, almost 70% of buildings, estimated or destroyed, medicine, water, sanitation and hygiene have fallen apart, and there is a lack of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.
Trump repeated his promise to take over the post -war gas when he flew to the new Orleans at the Air Force to look at the Super Cup on Sunday.
“I try to buy and own gas. As for the recovery, we can give it to other states in the Middle East to build its sections. Other people can do it through our ausp He moves back, ”he said, without explaining who he would buy gas and how the US will own it.
“Nothing to go back. The place is a place of demolition … The rest will be demolished,” he added. “But we will make it a very good site for the future development of someone.”
Trump said people from all over the world would be able to move into gas and promised to “take care of the Palestinians”.
“We are going to make sure that they live beautifully in harmony and peace and that they are not killed.”
“They don’t want to go back to gas. They just come back because they don’t have an alternative,” he added.
The President also again expressed confidence that he could convince neighboring Egypt and Jordan to help despite his previous public deviations to take refugees from Gaza.
Jordan King Abdullah must meet Trump in Washington on Tuesday, while the Israeli president said Trump would also negotiate with Egypt’s President Abdul Fattah Al-Sisi and Prince of Saudi Crown Bin Salman in the coming days.
ReutersIsraeli Prime Minister praised Trump’s proposal at a session of the Cabinet of Ministers in Jerusalem on Sunday.
“Throughout the year we were told that on the Day of the Day, Plo (Palestinian Liberation Organization), the Palestinian authorities should be in the lane,” Netanyahu said.
“President Trump came with a completely different vision, much better for Israel, a revolutionary and creative vision we are discussing. He is very determined to implement it. It also opens up a lot of opportunities for us.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Palestinian administration stated: “Our people’s rights and our land are not sold, exchange and trade.”
“The Israeli government and the Prime Minister of Netanyahu are trying to cover the crimes of genocide, forced resettlement and annexation they have committed against our people,” he added.
“To do this, they continue to promote slogans and positions that are separated from political reality and far from the requirements of political solutions for the conflict.”
Political official with Hamas – which is provided as a terrorist organization Israel, the United States, the UK and other countries – said Trump’s comments were “inappropriate” and reflect the “deep ignorance of Palestine and the region”.
“Gaza is not a property that needs to be sold and bought. This is an integral part of our occupied Palestinian land,” said isot al-rish.
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 Palestinians are also afraid to repeat the NAKBB, or the “catastrophe”, when hundreds of thousands escaped or expelled from their homes before and during the war, which followed the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.
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 west coast, and 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, the UN reports.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz also criticized Trump’s plan on Sunday, calling it a “scandal”.
“I am talking about this with the government of Egypt, with the government of Jordan and with people who can count on human dignity: the relocation of the population is unacceptable against international law,” he said during television election discussions.
AFPPalestinian officials and Arab states also condemned the comments made by Netanyahu in a television interview last week.
An Israeli journalist discussed efforts to normalize diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia when he mistakenly said that there would be no Saudi Arabia.
“Palestinian state”. Netanyahu corrected it before adding: “If you do not want the Palestinian state to be in Saudi Arabia? They have a lot of territory.”
Egypt called the proposal “ill -advised” and the fact that “directly violates the sovereignty of Saudi Arabia”, while Jordan said it was “violation of international law”.
Saudi Arabia said on Sunday that she assessed “condemnation, dissatisfaction and complete refusal declared by brotherly countries that Benjamin Netanyahu stated to move the Palestinian people from their land.”
