Residents of the Gaza Strip have demonstrated against the American president’s intentions in the central city of Deir al-Balah.
Dozens of Gaza Palestinians went down to the street with anger Thursday, protesting against the “pInfernal criminal From US President Donald Trump to expel them from the Gaza Strip.
Sheltered in a tent camp in the central city of Deir al-Balah, they expressed their shock and their distrust to the idea of being expelled from Gaza.
“” We spent a year and a half under war, we will not accept the idea of leaving. Those who leave their country experience unspeakable suffering. We will not leave or flee our country “Said Mohammed to Euronews.
“” Of course, there will be people who are fleeing, those who have no house and others, people like it will leave, but of course, the vast majority will not flee. For my part, I will not leave “, He insisted.
The demonstration was organized by the democratic reform movement, a dissident group of the Fatah led by the former Fatah chief, Mohamed Dahlan.
Emad Mohsen, one of the members of the group, told journalists that the demonstration to reject the “hellish criminal plan” of Trump was a way to confirm that the Palestinians would remain in Gaza.
“” We confirm our determination to stay on this land and our determination to defend our national cause to realize the dream of liberation and independence of our people “, He added.
Fatma Abu Shawish, another member of the group and demonstrators, asked for the support of the international community.
“” We hope that all nations will be held by our side and will help us avoid travel. It is our land and our house. We lived there. This is the house of our grandparents “She said.
People wore signs on which we could read: “The earth is ours, Gaza is ours, Palestine has been for us for a long time and forever”.
On other large posters, we could read “the occupier should take his stick and leave our land” and “we will build Gaza, we will rebuild it and we will bring it back to life with our own help, our will and our determination”.
US President Donald Trump proposed to take possession of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it, after declaring earlier than the Palestinians should leave the region. “The United States will take control of the Gaza Strip and we will do good work with it,” he said on Tuesday at a joint conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli leader reacted to Donald Trump’s projects concerning the future of the Gaza Strip by declaring that the idea ” deserved to be taken into account ».
The American president had already declared that neighboring countries could welcome the displaced Palestinians from Gaza, a proposal rejected by the Arab countries.
