US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he wanted his country to appropriate the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after the Palestinians were moved elsewhere.
“We have it and will be responsible for dismantling all dangerous unplodced bombs and other weapons on the site,” said Trump at the start of a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I see a long-term property position,” said Trump when he was asked about the United States controlling the territory for an extended period, adding that he does not raise American troops to secure Gaza.
He added that the United States would have the level of buildings destroyed and “create economic development which will provide an unlimited number of jobs and housing for the inhabitants of the region”.
Netanyahu, whose soldiers had engaged in more than a year of ferocious fighting with Hamas militants in Gaza, said that Trump “left beaten track with new ideas” and “showed the will to unravel conventional thought “.
Trump suggested that it would promote stability in the region and added: “It is not a light decision.”
“Everyone I spoke to love the idea that the United States has this field.”
However, Saudi Arabia, a key American ally in the region, underlined in a declaration its rejection of an attempt to move the Palestinians of their land and said that he would not establish relations with Israel without establishing a Palestinian state.
Trump’s comments occurred a few hours after suggesting that the displaced Palestinians in Gaza are “permanent” reinstalled outside the territory torn by the war.
Israel has removed its Northern Gaza blockages, allowing the thousands of Palestinians to return to their communities – even if their houses were destroyed. Meanwhile, the families of Israel expect a word on SI, and when, the hostages will be published.
“You can’t live in Gaza for the moment. I think we need another place,” Trump said on Tuesday earlier.
“I think it should be a place that will make people happy. You look at the decades, everything is death in Gaza. It has happened for years. Everything is death. If we can get a beautiful region to reinstall the people, permanently, in beautiful houses where they can be happy and not be killed and not be killed and not be cut to death like what is happening in Gaza.
Trump has already called Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries to temporarily welcome the Palestinians while Gaza is rebuilt after the devastating war between Hamas and Israel, which was interrupted in January by a cease-fire. Tuesday, it was the first time that he floated publicly to make this resettlement permanent.
The suggestion of American President Donald Trump that he could be better to “clean” Gaza sparked the anger of many Palestinians who want to return home despite the destruction of the War of Israel-Hamas.
His proposals echo the wishes of the extreme right of Israel and contradict the commitment of former President Joe Biden against the mass movement of the Palestinians.
The Arab states and the Palestinian authority have rejected the idea that certain human rights defenders compared to ethnic cleaning.
The forced displacement of the Gaza population would probably be a violation of international law and would be fiercely opposed not only in the region but also by Washington Western allies.
The Palestinians claim Gaza as part of a future homeland, and many have indicated the desire to stay and rebuild.
The senior Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, condemned Trump calls to the Gazans to leave as “expulsion of their land”.
The war was launched after an attack led by Hamas on October 7, 2023, killed around 1,200 people and took around 250 other captives, according to Israeli accounts. Dozens of hostages remain in Gaza.
A new report published in Lancet Journal suggests that the number of people killed in Gaza during the first nine months of the War of Israel-Hamas could be 40% higher than that reported by Hamas officials.
Israel replied with an offensive that killed more than 46,000 Palestinians, according to local health officials, and moved the vast majority of the Gaza population.
Israel faced accusations of genocide in Gaza because of the extent of death and destruction, which she rejects by saying that she respects international law and has the right to defend herself after the attack on the attack HAMAS.
Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli Defense Minister, received arrest mandates by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes.
