President Trump said on Saturday that Palestinians have no right to return to Gaza and that he was expanding his statement last week, saying, “I own this.” Don’t go back.
The president commented in a recorded interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Saturday, but the most recent part was released on Monday.
The president’s remarks come as Israel and Hamas continue. A tenuous ceasefire and hostage trade. Hamas still retains prisoners of war from the terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.
“We’re building a beautiful community for 1.9 million people,” the president told Baier. “We build a beautiful community. A safe community. A potential five, a six. It can be two, but it can be a safe community just a little away from where this danger is all there is. I own this in the meantime.
Byer asked Trump, “Do Palestinians have the right to return?”
“No, because they have better housing, so they’re much better. In other words, I’m talking about creating a permanent place for them,” Trump replied. “If they have to go back now, it’s going to take you years to come – it’s not habitable. It could take years before it happens.”
Trump has reiterated his claim that Jordan and Egypt may spend money to resettle and house Palestinians, but both countries have so far It was rejected Ideas. And it is not clear where it will be while the approximately 2.1 million Palestinians living in Gaza live while being built elsewhere.
The president’s latest proposal to individually own either Gaza land or real estate development under his plan is new, but the president has repeatedly suggested that Palestinians should live elsewhere. Masu. His response to the lack of the right to return the Palestinians is his most distant statement of contact on the issue, and constitutes an implicit rejection of the two states’ solutions.
The president’s words are likely to spark anger from the Palestinian community. Many hope that the land will become an independent Palestinian state, and in the past, Trump has expressed his support for a solution for the two states. Israel welcomes Trump’s proposal to take over the land, but some Hostage family Captured by Hamas expressed fear that Trump’s remarks could prevent the release of the remaining hostages.
Last week, during a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said Palestinians in Gaza say they should resettle “forever” in “beautiful areas” and “love homes.” He added, “I can’t go back. If I come back, it’s going to end like it did for 100 years.”
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will work with it,” Trump said Tuesday. “We own it and are responsible for demolishing all the dangerous mis-explosive bombs and other weapons on the site, leveling the site and removing the destroyed buildings. We leveling it out. And Housing for local people.
