President Donald Trump’s plan for the United States to take over the war torn and create “Riviera in the Middle East” after resettlement of the Palestinians elsewhere, destroyed the United States’ policy on the Israeli -Palestinian conflict and sparked widespread criticism.
This shock was condemned by Trump, a former real estate developer in New York, quickly by international powers, with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the heavyweight, which Trump hopes to establish relations with Israel, and rejected the plan directly.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman affirmed the Kingdom’s position in a “clear and explicit” way “that does not allow any interpretation under any circumstances, and the statement was read by his leadership.
The United Nations Security Council members in Russia, China, France and Britain said they continued to support the two -state solution, which was the basis of Washington’s policy in the region for decades.
Trump said, in his first advertisement in the Middle East in the Middle East, that he imagined the construction of a resort where international societies can live in harmony more than 15 months after the Israeli shelling destroyed the small coastal pocket and killed more than 47,000 people, by the Palestinians. The Israeli attack came after Hamas gunmen led attacks that killed about 1,200 people on October 7, 2023, according to the Israeli government, with about 240 hostages.
“We will possess it and be responsible for dismantling all the uninterrupted and and other weapons on the site, the site, and the disposal of the destroyed buildings,” Trump said at the White House.
The assessment of the United Nations damage issued in January showed that clearing more than 50 million tons of the remaining rubble in Gaza alone may take 21 years and cost up to $ 1.2 billion.
Last year, Trump’s son -in -law and his former assistant, Jared Kushner, described Gaza as a “valuable” ownership on the waterfront.
Trump did not provide any details of his plan, which was revealed at a joint press conference on Tuesday, with the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The United States will meet a direct share in Gaza the long policy in Washington and for a large part of the international community, which saw Gaza will be part of a future Palestinian state that includes the occupied West Bank.
“We will not go anywhere.”
The displacement is a very sensitive issue between both the Palestinians and the Arab countries.
With the outbreak of the fighting in the Gaza war, the Palestinians were afraid that they would suffer from “Nakba” or another catastrophe, in reference to the time when hundreds of thousands of their homes were disbursed in the 1948 war at the birth of Israel.
“Trump can go to hell, with his ideas, with his money, and with his beliefs, by applying chat,” said Samir Abu Basil, 40 years old from Gaza City.
An official from the Palestinian militants, Hamas, who ruled the Gaza Strip before fighting Israel in a brutal war there, said that Trump’s statement about the pocket assumption was “ridiculous and ridiculous.”
“Any ideas of this kind are able to ignite the region,” Sami Abu Zouiri told Reuters.
Mahmoud Abbas from the Palestinian Authority said that the Palestinians will not abandon their lands, rights and holy sites, including the Gaza Strip, along with the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The two countries say the plan violates the United Nations resolutions
Trump’s informal proposal sent diplomatic shock waves across the Middle East and around the world.
“China has always believed that the Palestinians rule Palestine is the primary principle of post -conflict governance,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lynn Jian, adding that Beijing supports a two -state solution in the region.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak spoke to CBC news about some considerations in Israel’s negotiations. Hamas.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated Russia’s position that the only way to resolve the conflict in the Middle East was through the establishment of a Palestinian state to be alongside Israel.
“This is the thesis stipulated in the relevant United Nations Security Council Resolution, this is the thesis that the vast majority of the countries participating in this problem. We move from it, support it and believe that this is the only option,” he said to reporters.
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris also highlighted in a statement “a clear contradiction with the decisions of the United Nations Security Council.”
Peskov added that the idea of Trump’s resettlement was rejected by the major Arab capitals.
This point, which was clarified by France’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Christophe Lemeen, who said in a statement that the forced displacement of the Palestinians would be “a major factor in destabilizing our close partners in Egypt and Jordan as well as in the entire region.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Egypt said on Wednesday that its best diplomat, Badr Abdi, discussed with the Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa the importance of moving forward in recovery projects in Gaza without leaving the Palestinians to the Gaza Strip.
For decades, world leaders sold a solution from the two Israeli -Palestinian countries as the best hope for peace in the region, but is this possible? Eileen Mauro of CBC collapses the main challenges standing on the way.
Ethnic cleansing in another name
The comments shook the legislators in the US Congress.
Senator Maryland Chris van Holin, a democratic, described as “ethnic cleansing with another name,” and said Trump was “a match on a volatile area already”, in an interview with MSNBC.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said that an American invasion of Gaza would lead to the killing of American forces, while a member of the Democratic Parliament was considered Rashida Talb from Michigan, who was born to the Palestinian parents, “fanatic nonsense.”
The reaction of the Republicans to the Capitol Hill was more vocal, as Senator Lindsey Graham, Trump’s ally, was saying, “Most of Caroline South do not excite enthusiasts to send the Americans to Gaza’s assumption,” referring to the country he represented.
“I think this may be a problem, but I will remain an open mind,” he added.
Senator in North Carolina Tillis told us the correspondents that “there may be two differences in this anxiety, but I will have to take a look at the statement.”
It is not clear whether Trump will go ahead in his controversial plan or simply take an extremist position as a bargaining strategy.
Murphy also said he believed that he was a distraction from Trump’s ongoing and explicit attempts to reshape the US federal government early in his term.
Trump said he was planning to visit Gaza, Israel and Saudi Arabia, but he did not say when he planned to go.
Netanyahu Trump praised “thinking outside the box with new ideas” and “showing preparation for the hole of traditional thinking.”
