Tel Aviv – President Trump's explanation that the United States want to “take over” the Gaza Strip characterized by the war and that the Palestinians living there have continuously provided the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump's vague, but far -reaching suggestions, which were presented on Tuesday during a visit to the White House of Netanyahu, were quickly presented by critics as a call for ethnic cleaning, which violates international law.
His plan and Netanyahus quick praise of Trump's “Thinking Outd the Box” host a shadow about a preliminary ceasefire in Gaza, which temporarily hired a devastating 15-month war between Israel and the Palestinian militia of Hamas last month.
“The United States will take over the Gaza Strip and we will also do a job with it,” Trump said at a joint press conference in Washington with the Israeli guide at his side.
In a way, the Gaza proposal in accordance with Trump's hug of amazing territorial ambitions, such as control over Greenland, voted to make Canada a 51st state and bring back the Panama Canal.
But Gaza – characterized by the decades of bloodshed – is a uniquely volatile addition to the roller call of countries whose sovereignty and assets have come under Trump's restless eye.
In an explanation of the Telegram Messaging app, Hamas said that Trump's Gaza Strip would “pour oil on the fire”. It described the statements of the US President as “our people and our cause”.
Trump's failure to publicly urge Netanyahu to keep the conditions of the ceasefire and to consolidate the next phase of the next phase, which were still kept as hostage in Gaza under families of dozens of Israelis, that the process would come to a standstill . The next such handover will take place on Sunday.
Thirteen Israeli citizens, including some with double nationalities, and five Thai citizens have been released by Hamas and other militant groups since the ceasefire began on January 19 and presented public joy and emotional family members.
Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, some who are in prison for attacks on Israeli were exempted from Israeli prisons, although the celebrations were muted by an upswing in West Bank, where Palestinian officials say start the ceasefire.
Trump's claim that the United States should “own” GAZA, although military power should be used if necessary, not only increases the US mediator Eastern Policy for decades, but also seemed in view of the publicly declared request of the President for a comprehensive regional peace between Israel and Saudi – Flying Arabia – a performance he said would earn a Nobel Prize.
Although it was in the middle of the night when Trump revealed his suggestions, the Foreign Ministry of Saudi -Arabia gave an unusual prerequisite in which it expressed “firm, steadfast and unshakable” support for the Palestinian state. The Gaza The entire population is distributed elsewhere.
Trump also exerted the pressure on Egypt and Jordan, which he has picked out as event locations in the past few days, where expelled Palestinians could be relocated to “good, fresh, beautiful” countries. For both countries, especially Jordan, such an influx would be extremely destabilized, and both governments reaffirmed their objections to his latest demands.
Some analysts in the region called Trump's plan – which he said that he could lead to the creation of a “Riviera of the Middle East” in the destroyed enclave – a recipe for explosive unrest.
“Trump cannot offer a military or political solution, so he sees Gaza as a real estate development project,” said Oraib al-Rantawi, director of the Al Quds Center for Political Studies based.
Outside the region, large European allies who wake up to Gaza for the news about Trump's rums.
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the forced expulsion of the Palestinians living in the enclave would be a “serious violation” against international law. British Foreign Minister David Lammy said that the Palestinians had the right to “live and thrive in their home countries”. And Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Gaza was “one of the Palestinians”.
Netanyahu seemed to have even surprised the scope and the Trump's scale of Trump's trumping discourse on Gaza, although his government has made it clear that he expected to achieve considerable political advantages of Trump's return to the White House.
In comparison to the President's rhetoric, however, Netanyahu's reaction was almost careful.
“He sees another future for this piece of land,” said the Israeli Prime Minister. “It is worth paying attention … it is something that could change the story. “
Netanyahu said when he returned to Israel this week, he would convene high -ranking security minister to talk about the next phase of the armistice. But Trump's proposal seemed to reduce the pressure of Israel's political law, which the government of Netanyahu built throughout the Gaza Strip War, but was upset by the ceasefire.
Itamar Ben Gvir, whose heavy right party the government about what he described to an acquisition towards the Palestinians, announced on Wednesday that he had significantly increased the chances of resuming the Netanyahus coalition.
Another prominent right-wing extremist number, Finance Minister Bezhalel Smotrich, praised Trump's statements as a “true reaction” on the attack on October 7, 2023 led by Hamas, in which around 1,200 people killed in South Israel and triggered the war in the GAZA.
More than 47,000 Palestinians were killed in the war, by the count of the Gaza Ministry of Health, with thousands missing and presumably dead dead people were missing.
