Countries’ leaders denounce Trump proposal for US ownership of Gaza

US allies and opponents denied the proposal of President Donald Trump for the United States to take ownership of Gaza’s belt on Wednesday, forcing 2 million Palestinians to move to other countries, and then turn the territory along the Mediterranean Sea into “Riviere in the Bljska East. “

The world’s reaction to Trump’s proposals, offered at a press conference in the White House on Tuesday night, along with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was fast and mostly universal in contrast to the idea that was advanced by the one -off New York real estate in New York.

Britain, China, Germany, Ireland, Russia and Spain have said that they continue to support a solution with two countries-the creation of an independent Palestinian state that will include Gaza and the Israeli Western coast that existed next to Israel. The proposal of two countries, aiming for a decade of conflict and wars in the Middle East, has long been the basis of American policy in the region, although the government of Netanyahu opposes.

Saudi Arabia, an important American ally that produces oil in the Middle East, quickly measured in sharp words, saying that his call to an independent Palestinian state was “a solid, unwavering and unwavering position”.

“The position of Australia is the same as this this morning, as was the case last year, as it was 10 years ago,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in support of the two -state solution.

Netanyahu offered to support the plan, saying that one of his war goals was to ensure that the Palestinian militant group Hamas never again represented the threat to Israel.

But Trump, Netanyahu said, “takes it to a much higher level.”

“I think that could change history, and it’s worth it really to follow this time,” he said.

Trump was not a lawyer when asked on Tuesday if he supported a solution with two countries. His plan for Gaza “means nothing about two countries or one state or any other state,” he said.

Palestinians, nearby countries reject Trump’s ideas

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas urged the United Nations to “protect the Palestinian people and their inalienable rights”, saying that what Trump wanted to do “serious violation of international law”.

Hamas said that Trump’s proposal is a “recipe for chaos and tension in the region. Instead of holding Zionist occupation responsible for the genocide and displacement crime, he is rewarded, not punishable.”

Even before Trump called for American ownership of Gaza, Egypt and Jordan had rejected their proposal in recent days to move the Palestinian population to their countries.

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement emphasizing the need for renewal in Gaza “without moving Palestinians from Gaza’s belt”.

Chief of Human Rights Volker Turk said on Wednesday that the deportation of people from Israeli occupied gauze was illegal on Wednesday.

“The right to self -determination is a fundamental principle of international law and must be protected by all countries, because the International Court of Justice is recently re -underlined,” Turk said in a statement. “Any forced transfer or deportation of people occupied by the territory is strictly forbidden.”

Trump sees ‘unlimited jobs’ with gauze development

But Trump said at his press conference that Jordan’s King Abdullah and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi would come to his idea, claiming he would “open his hearts and give us a kind of land we need to do so and people can do it live in accordance with peace. “

Trump’s proposal to Gaza was his first major statement about politics in the Middle East since he took over a second four -year term two weeks ago.

Trump said he had imagined the construction of a resort on the Mediterranean shores where international communities could live in accordance with.

A large part of the coastal territory is currently lying in the ruins, after more than 15 months of Israeli bombing, which killed more than 47,000 people, more than half of women and children. The Israeli army says she killed 17,000 Hamas militants.

Trump’s proposal to Gaza comes in the middle of a six -week break of fire to stop the fights that broke out on October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and capturing 250 as hostage. About 60 living prisoners are still believed to be held by Hamas, a terrorist group designed in the US.

During his past, Hamas released 18 hostages, while Israel released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

At his press conference, Trump said: “Now he will take over Gaza’s belt, and we will do the job with her. Destroyed buildings, straighten it, create economic development that will provide an unlimited number of jobs.

“Everyone I spoke with loved the idea of ​​having the United States possessing that piece of land, developing and making thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent, in a truly magnificent area,” he said.

Trump did not offer any details on how he plans to control Gaza, which the war was decimal but did not exclude sending to American troops.

“If necessary, we will do it. We will take that piece and we will develop it,” he said.

Trump’s idea of ​​ownership of Gaza was a shift from his past criticism for American involvement in conflicts in the Middle East. Trump said he predicted a “long -term ownership” for the US that would bring “a great stability of that part of the Middle East, and perhaps the whole of the Middle East.”

“This was not a decision made lightly,” he said.

The Uventra of the American leader was his latest proposal for the American exhibition of force in distant achievements of the world. He expressed the need to take control of the Panama Canal from the Panama Government; Buy Grenland, for centuries, a Danish territory, and to help Canada to become 51.

Panama, Denmark and Canada rejected his requests.

Reactions in the United States

Several US legislators have joined the choir of world leaders who are opposed to Trump’s offer.

Democratic senator Chris Coons of Delaware called the comments “offensive, crazy and dangerous and stupid.”

The idea, Coons said, “risks the rest of the world thinking that we are an unbalanced and unreliable partner because our president gives crazy proposals.”

Coons noticed the irony of the proposal that comes shortly after Trump went into dismantling the US International Development Agency, the main channel for the US side aid.

The Democratic representative of Rashida Tlaiib, a Palestinian American member of the Michigan Congress, accused Trump in a post on social media “openly inviting ethnic cleansing” with the idea of ​​the re -settlement of the entire Gaza population.

But Trump’s cheerleader, a Nancy Mace Mace from South Carolina, adopted a slight assessment by saying: “Let’s turn Gaza into mar-a-stature”, referring to Trump’s residence and the Atlantic Ocean Club and a club in southern Florida to call winter winter white house.

Mike Johnson’s home president, a narrow Republican majority leader in the House of Representatives, offered support to Trump’s Gaza taking over, “Yes, we’re trying to get details about it, but I think this is a good development.”

The leader of the Republican majority of Senate John Thune, in a neutral opinion, said Trump “wants a more peaceful and safer Middle East and put some ideas out there.”
