Gaza may be assembled by winter winds today, leaving the Palestinians wandering. But it is the unexpected explosion of US President Donald Trump that really shook them.
“I feel a lot of sadness and despair,” Hala Abu Daba, 26, told the independent video photographer of CBC, Mohamed Seifis. “He must know that we will not leave our country – just delete this idea from his mind.”
Behind it there were ruins all the way to the horizon, as a result of nearly 16 months of the Israeli war-ranked war and fighting from a house to a house with the Hamas boys.
This is the “demolition site”, Trump said on Tuesday that he wanted to build in the “Riviera in the Middle East”, as soon as it is emptied by the Palestinians. He described the beach tape like the real estate developer who used to be. He wants the United States to be in a “long -term royal position” in Gaza.
The comments were received with a pleasant surprise in Israel.
But for the Palestinians, such as Hanan El -Shennawi, 22 years old, it is not just a plot of land. This remains after the Nakba, or a “disaster” in Arabic, forcing the generation of its ancestors to leave the lands that became Israel in 1948.
“In the end, they did not get unfortunately,” Al -Shennawi said. She refuses to allow this again.
The Palestinians reject Trump’s idea
“The departure” is erasing the Palestinian issue. “
Israel rejects the charge that the Palestinians were forcibly sprayed, but the Palestinian perspective has a deep desire to return, strong enough to push militant groups such as Hamas to launch the October 7, 2023 attack to Israel, which killed about 1,200 Israelis and saw each other 250 taking hostage. The subsequent Israel war in Gaza has killed more than 47,000 Palestinians.
Hamas says that Trump’s plan is a recipe for more violence.
She described it “ridiculous and ridiculous,” Hamas official, Sami Abu Zouri, told Reuters, “Any ideas of this kind are able to ignite the area.”
There was a wide condemnation from the largest area, with flat rejection from Egypt and Jordan – the two countries said that the inhabitants of Gaza should. Cairo said it would support reconstruction, but without removing anyone.
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia He said that it will not normalize diplomatic and economic relations with Israel without establishing a Palestinian state, which contradicts Trump’s claim that the country was not submitting such a request. In Riyadh, officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman confirmed this position in a clear and explicit way.
The new relationship between Israel and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was introduced by Trump officials as a huge deal that would bring peace to the region.
Few fears in Israel
However, in Israel, there appears to be few concerns about Trump’s plan.
“It is very good to be true,” Uri Brock Smile told CBC News on a rainy street in Jerusalem. “But it is a beautiful dream.”
Some participate in Trump’s dream of developing the region, pumping what Sean Charlev calls “Western values - as in companies, real estate, tourism.”
But for most of them, it is seen as a way to ensure Israel’s security and prevent future attacks.
A man gave his first name, Amit, said: “I do not want Gaza, I want peace.” He said that the Palestinians can live there, but the military force in Israel or America needs to maintain the regime.
Most Israelis welcomes Trump’s proposal
There are high voices in Israel that want Gaza for themselves. This includes the extremist right groups such as the Jewish Authority Party, led by Itamar Bin Ghafir, who was part of the ruling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s alliance and former National Security Minister, until he resigned from Israel’s acceptance of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
Many supporters are settlers, and include those who want to create Jewish societies in Gaza.
Today on social media, published message “Donald, this seems to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Bin Ghafir He said The “only solution” was “encouraging” Ghazan’s migration.
But even some moderate voices in Israel seem to welcomes Trump’s proposal.
Benny Gantz is a former political and general politician who sees many alternatives less extremist than Netanyahu and his coalition. He said that Trump’s plan showed “creative, original and interesting thinking” and should be studied.
Meanwhile, he said that obtaining the remaining hostages of Israel from Gaza is a priority. With both sides there are more accurate than Trump’s suggestion, deal To extend the ceasefire may become more complicated.
