Donald Trump said his plan to “take over Gaza” had the right to return to more than 2 million Palestinians who said there was no alternative to the destruction left by Israeli military elections. He said it was not included.
The statement is the latest and effective support for ethnic cleansing by the US president, and announced his plans at a summit with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week, leading to the rage of the Arab world and his closest aide. It’s a surprise.
In an interview with Fox’s Brett Bayer, Trump said he would “own” the Gaza Strip, declaring that it would become “the real estate development of the future.”
At the same time, he continued to support plans for Palestinians to resettle Egypt and Jordan. The plan was rejected by both countries and declared the region’s biggest Arab countries as non-starters.
Trump said he will build up to six new locations for Palestinians to live outside of Gaza.
Asked if Palestinians had the right to return to Gaza, Trump told Bayer:
“It could be five, six, maybe two,” he said. “But we will build a safe community, a little bit away from where they are and build where all of this danger lies.
“In other words, I’m talking about building permanent sites for them.
There has been no serious debate so far in the Pentagon or the State Department about how the US can legally or logistically handle the tasks proposed by Trump.
However, the announcement was welcomed by the US evangelical allies who supported the Israeli far-right settlers movement and annexation of other occupied Palestinian territories, including the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
“In the meantime I’ll own this,” Trump said of Gaza. “Think of it as a future real estate development. It will be beautiful land. There’s no big money.”
On Sunday, Navi Pillay, the UN’s Independent International Committee on Independent Palestinian Territories, told news website Politico that Trump’s “program forcing movement of occupation groups is an international crime and ethnicity equivalent.” I will,” he said. cleansing”.
“It’s not under the law that Trump can carry out the threat of dislocating Palestinians from their land,” Pillay said.
Over 1.5 million Palestinians and their descendants lived during the 1948 Arab-Israel War and are currently living in refugee camps on the West Bank, including Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. .
