President Donald Trump said “dedicated to buying and possessing” Gaza’s belt and move two million Palestinians who live there, despite the global condemnation of the plan he presented last week.
He told reporters that he could allow the Middle East countries to be involved in the renovation of parts of the territory and that he would make sure that Palestinian refugees “live beautifully”.
Both Palestinian administration and armed group Hamas, whose 16-month war with Israel caused a broad devastation in Gaza, reiterated that the Palestinian country was “not for sale”.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s proposal as “revolutionary and creative.”
She comes for three weeks in a fragile truce in Gaza, during which Hamas published some of the hostages of Israel, which he holds 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 about 1,200 people were killed and 251 was taken to hostage.
Since then, more than 48,180 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas Territory Ministry.
Most of the Gaza population has also been displaced several times, almost 70% of the buildings are estimated to have been damaged or destroyed, and health care, water, sanitary and hygienic systems have collapsed, and lack of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.
Trump reiterated his promise to take over the post -war gauze as he flew to New Orleans into an air force to watch Super Bowl on Sunday.
“I am committed to buying and possessing a gauze. As far as renovation is concerned, we can give it to other countries in the Middle East to build sections. Other people can do it through our patron by possessing it, taking it and making sure that Hamas does not go back,” he said Yes, not explaining who he will buy from Gaza and how he will own the US.
“You can’t go back. The place is a destruction place … The rest will be demolished,” he added. “But we will do it in a very good place for future development by someone.”
Trump said that people from all over the world will be able to move to Gaza and promise that they will “take care of Palestinians.”
“We will make sure that they live beautifully and in harmony and peace and are not killed.”
“They don’t want to go back to Gaza. They only come back because they don’t have an alternative,” he added.
The President also re -expressed his belief that he could convince neighbor Egypt and Jordan to help, despite their previous rejection of his demands to take refugees from Gaza.
King Jordan Abdullah should meet with Trump in Washington on Tuesday, while President of Israel said Trump will also hold talks with Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman in the coming days.
Israeli Prime Minister praised Trump’s proposal at a cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on Sunday.
“For the whole year, we were told that” the day after, “the fruit [Palestine Liberation Organisation]The Palestinian administration must be in the lane, “Netanyahu said.
“President Trump came with a completely different vision, much better for the state of Israel, a revolutionary and creative vision, which we discuss. He is very determined in this. It also opens many options before us.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Palestinian Administration said: “The rights of our people and our countries are not for sale, exchange or work.”
“The Israeli Government and Prime Minister Netanyahu are trying to conceal the crimes of genocide, forcibly displacing and annexation they have committed against our people,” he added.
“For this purpose, they continue to promote the slogans and attitudes that are separated from political reality and far from the demands of political solutions to the conflict.”
Political official of Hamas – who banned Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries as a terrorist organization – said Trump’s “absurd” remarks and reflected “deep ignorance of Palestine and the region.”
“Gaza is not the property that will be sold and purchased. It is an integral part of our occupied Palestinian land,” said Izat al-Rishq.
The UN -Directing Office for Human Rights has warned that any forced transfer or deportation of people from the occupied territory is strictly forbidden to international law.
Palestinians are also afraid of repetition of Nakba, or “disaster”, when hundreds of thousands fled or drove from their homes before and during the war that followed to create the state of Israel in 1948.
Many of these refugees ended up in Gaza, where they and their descendants make up three quarters of the population. Another 900,000 registered refugees live on the west coast, while 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, according to the UN.
German chancellor Olaf Scholz also strongly criticized Trump’s plan on Sunday, calling him a “scandal”.
“I say that with the Egyptian government, with the Jordan government is to people who can count on human dignity: the relocation of the population is unacceptable and against international law,” he said during a television debate about the election.
Palestinian officials and Arab states also condemned Netanyahu’s comments in a TV interview last week.
The Israeli journalist discussed the efforts to normalize diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia when he wrongly said that there would be no progress without creating a “Saudi state”.
“Palestinian state.” Netanyahu corrected him before he added, “If you do not want the Palestinian state to be in Saudi Arabia? Have a lot of territories.”
Egypt called the proposal “reckless” and something that “directly violates Saudi sovereignty,” while Jordan said it was a “rude violation of international law”.
Saudi Arabia said on Sunday that she appreciated “condemnation, disapproval and total rejection that the fraternal countries announced according to what Benjamin Netanyahu said in connection with the displacement of the Palestinian people from their country.”
