US President Donald Trump says Palestinians displaced from Gaza to neighbouring countries would not have the right to return to the enclave.The US president Trump claimed that everyone he had spoken to “loves the idea of the United States owning the territory”.
His remarks sparked reactions from world leaders and international organisations. The United Nations condemned the proposal, calling it “nothing short of ethnic cleansing” and warning against any such move.“Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful piece of land,” he said, referring to the proposal he first floated during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington.
Trump said Palestinians displaced from Gaza would be resettled in neighbouring countries under his plan. “No, they wouldn’t, because they’re going to have much better housing,” he replied when asked if they would be able to return.Palestinian authorities and Hamas have rejected the proposal, insisting that Palestinian land is “not for sale”.Trump’s comments come as Israel and Hamas navigate a fragile ceasefire, now in its third week. During this period, hostage exchanges have taken place between the two sides.
