For most Palestinians living in the Gaza belt, there is already a painful history of forced displacement that is at the center of their response to US President Donald Trump’s plan to take over the territory of the war.
In an interview with BBC, residents of a tent camp in the central city of Deir al-Balah expressed a shock and defiance to move permanently.
“Even if our souls cost us, we will not leave Gaza,” said Mahmoud Bahjat, who is from the north. “We are against Trump’s decision. The war ended, but if he had moved us, he would end our life.”
On the other hand, many Israelites express their satisfaction with radical ideas from the White House, especially those in the far right place that seek to move Gaza.
Ever since the fire was received last month in Gaza – on the eve of Trump’s inauguration last month – there have been dramatic scenes of Palestinians who returned to what was left of their homes.
Families accumulated possession in cars and donkey carts or walked at a long distance to the coastal road, often only to reach piles of ruins.
According to the UN, at least 1.9 million people, or about 90% of the population, became displaced across Gaza over the 15 months of war.
Palestinian scenes on the move echoed black and white footage from 1948 and mass evacuations that occurred during the fight before and after the creation of the State of Israel.
More than 700,000 people are then forced from their homes. Most Gazan are descendants of these original refugees.
Standing between the line of plastic sheet metal at the Deir al-Balah camp, Jamalat Wadi says that her family has now sacrificed enough and that they are determined to build a new home.
“We endured a year and a half of the war. When [the Israeli military] Finally, get out of here, we want to remove the ruins and live on the ground. “
“After now forced Israel to destroy our houses in Gaza, he tells us that Gaza has been destroyed and we have to leave?” Mrs. Wadi continues. “If there is only one drop of blood in our children, we will not come out of Gaza. We will not give up on it!”
Many Palestinians we spoke with called Jordan and Egypt – which Trump pressures to take over the displaced Gazana – and for Saudi Arabia – who wants to normalize relations with Israel – to endure the pressure on American pressure.
Since its establishment, Israel has rejected the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their historical homeland, because it would leave the Jewish people as a minority within its borders. Today, there are about 5.9 million Palestinians registered by the UN, and most live in Gaza, occupied by the West Coast, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
Israel has long claimed that Arab countries should absorb those who were in the mood, pointing out that thousands of Jews left to come to Israel during regional turmoil after becoming a state.
Israeli officials suggest that, suggesting that he took over the wars with a devastated gauze, creating a “Middle East Riviera” after Palestine moved Palestine in second place, Trump’s administration offers fresh thinking about long -term conflict.
Although Trump has not especially supported the re -establishment of a settlement in Gaza, the leaders of the settlers responded enthusiastically to the idea of displacing, urging the Israeli government to act immediately.
Israel occupied Gaza and the West Coast of the War in the Middle East in 1967 and began building settlements in both which, according to international law, is widely considered illegal. In 2005, Israel withdrew its troops and settlers from Gaza, although the UN still considers it the territory of Israeli.
“Assuming Trump’s statements about moving Gazan to other countries around the world, we must quickly move and build settlements throughout the Gaza lanes,” said Nachala’s food organization, who claims that hundreds of activists are ready to move there.
“No part of Israel should be unregulated by the Jews. If we leave any area desolate, it is possible to overcome our enemies,” Nachala added.
In contrast, the Israeli non -governmental organization against the occupation, peace now, rejected Trump’s plan. It supports the creation of an independent Palestinian state with Israel as part of a long -standing international formula for peace in the region, known as a solution with two countries.
Peace has now said that “there is no feasible way of transferring two million Gazans” outside.
“It is time to stop fantasizing about ethnic cleansing and forced displacement in Gaza and confronted with reality – there is only one solution that can guarantee security and stability in the Middle East: two countries for two nations and the end of the Israeli -Palestinian conflict.” He commented.
Many Israelis and Palestinians are concerned that the latest announcements could mean current conversations about the gauze trial extension.
The next phase of the agreement was supposed to see the return of about 60 remaining Israeli hostages – which not everyone lives – and the more permanent end of the fight.
However, the brother of an Israeli host -held Hamas told us, “I don’t understand what Trump says too seriously. It’s not realistic. It shoots for the stars.”
He added that it was “like Canada” – which refers to the proposals of the US leader that it should become “51.” His country “.
Some Gazani admitted that they considered that one aspect of President Trump’s Declaration was based on reality – his comments that the small coastal lane had become “unquestionable”.
Last month, an assessment of the UN damage showed that cleaning over 50 million tonnes of ruins left in Gaza as a result of heavy Israeli bombing could take 21 years and cost up to $ 1.2 billion.
Bilal al-Ranis, a former customs worker, is in shock after coming to the city of Gaza with his wife and four children who spent more than a year displaced in the south.
“We returned to the disaster, the worst in history,” he said. “I have not found my home or homes of my brothers and sisters. Trump does not speak in vain. He knows that Gaza is no longer suitable for a human residence.”
He said he hoped to sell his car and the gold jewelry of his wife to raise funds.
“I will leave Gaza the earliest possible opportunity. Yes, all Gazani oppose displacement, but they leave emotions, if people got the opportunity, many would decide to leave.”
