The Palestinians and the Arab states reject the Trump Gaza’s acquisition plan

The Palestinian President has said that he strongly rejects President Donald Trump’s proposal for the United States to take over Gaza and permanently reap the 2.1 million Palestinians living there.

“We will not allow the rights of our people to be infringed …”, emphasized Mahmoud Abbas, warning that Gaza was “an integral part of the state of Palestine” and forced displacement would be a serious violation of international law.

Hamas, whose 15 -month war with Israel has caused generalized devastation, said Trump’s plan “would turn on the fire” in the region.

The Arab states also rejected the idea, with Saudi Arabia reiterating that it would not normalize ties with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.

The neighbor Egypt, who had rejected Trump’s suggestion last month that he and Jordan in the residents of Gaza, emphasized the need for reconstruction “without moving the Palestinians.”

There is two weeks after the beginning of a high fragile fire in Gaza, during which Hamas has released some Israeli hostages that he has in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.

The Israeli army launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken as hostages.

More than 47,540 people have been killed and 111,600 wounds in Gaza since then, according to the Ministry of Health led by Hamas del Territoria.

Most of the population of Gaza has also been displaced several times, it is estimated that almost 70% of buildings are damaged or destroyed, health, water, sanitation and hygiene systems have collapsed, and there is food shortage, food shortages, fuel, medicine and shelter.

The first important comments of President Trump about the Middle Eastern policy destroyed decades that we thought about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

He presented them at the White House on Tuesday night along with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The United States will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will also do a job with him,” he said. “We will be and will be responsible for dismantling all the dangerous bombs without exploiting and other weapons on the site, leveling the site and getting rid of the destroyed buildings.”

Trump estimated that around 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza would have to be relocated to achieve their vision of creating “the Riviera del Middle East”, and said they would be housed in Jordan, Egypt and other countries.

When asked if refugees would eventually be allowed to return, he said that “the people of the world” would live in Gaza, before adding “also Palestinians.”

Trump also put aside the previous objections of the leaders of Jordan and Egypt to take refugees, insisting that they would eventually “open their hearts and give us the type of land we need to do this.”

Netanyahu said that Trump’s proposal could “change the story” and “it was worth paying attention,” he added: “This is the type of thought that the Middle East re -designed and will bring peace.”

An unidentified Israeli official was also summoned by saying that Trump’s ideas exceeded all his “expectations and dreams.”

However, Palestinian leadership condemned the plan in a statement issued on Wednesday.

“These calls represent a serious violation of international law,” said President Abbas, adding that “peace and stability will not be achieved in the region without the establishment of a Palestinian State.”

Abbas leads Hamas Fatah’s rivals and governs parts of the West Bank occupied by Israel.

He declared that the Palestinians would not “renounce their lands, rights and sacred sites” and that “the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the Earth of the State of Palestine, along with the West Bank and Jerusalem East.”

Hamas, which is banned as a terrorist organization for Israel, United States, the United Kingdom and other countries, said in a statement that Trump was “pointing to the United States occupying the Gaza Strip.”

He warned that his proposal was “aggressive for our people and cause, it will not serve stability in the region and will only put oil in the fire.”

The Palestinians in Gaza also said that the plan was completely out of discussion.

“We have endured almost a year and a half of bombing and destruction, however, we remain in Gaza,” a man told the Arab BBC.

“We would prefer to die in Gaza than to leave it. We will stay here until we rebuild it. Trump can do what he wants, but we firmly reject his decisions.”

According to international law, attempts to transfer to populations by force are strictly prohibited.

The Palestinians also fear a repetition of the “Nakba”, or “catastrophe”, when hundreds of thousands fled or were expelled from their homes during the war that followed the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.

Many of those refugees ended up in Gaza, where they and their descendants represent three quarters of the population. Another 900,000 registered refugees live in the West Bank, which Israel occupied in the 1967 Middle East War together with Gaza, while 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, according to the UN.

Israel unilaterally withdrew his troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005, although he retained control of his shared border, airspace and coast, which gave him effective control of the movement of people and goods. The UN still considers Gaza as territory occupied by Israelí due to the level of control that Israel has.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia said that the Kingdom “unequivocally rejected” the proposal of Trump de Gaza of the postwar period and reiterated that he would continue his efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state and “not to establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that.”

“Achieving lasting and fair peace is impossible without the Palestinian people obtaining their legitimate rights,” he added.

After the conversations in Cairo, the Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said he had agreed with the Palestinian authority, Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa on “the importance of moving forward with early recovery projects … without the Palestinians They leave the Gaza Strip, especially with their commitment to their land with their land and refuse to leave it. “

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza in any way was “unacceptable”, he added: “It is absurd to even consider it.”

Western governments also expressed alarm about any forced displacement.

The France Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that “it would constitute a serious violation of international law, an attack on the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians, but also an important obstacle to the solution of two states and a great destabilizing factor for our nearby partners Egypt and Jordan, as well as for the entire region. “

The Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, David Lammy, said: “We have always been clear in our belief that we must look for two states. We must see the Palestinians capable of living and prospering in their homelands, in Gaza, in the West Bank.”
