Washington, DC – Donald Trump’s call in the United States to “take over” and “possess” Gaza after its Palestinian population is fully moved amazed rights and politicians, which has aroused condemnations and energetic refusals of the proposal.
While Trump asked to depopulate Gaza forcibly, he brought his proposal to a new level at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, saying the United States would acquire Palestinian territory.
Critics argue that Trump recommends not only ethnic cleaning in Gaza, but also offers land acquisition in violation of the Charter of the United Nations.
In 1994, the United Nations experts defined ethnic cleaning as “a targeted policy designed by an ethnic or religious group to be removed by violent and inspiring areas of terrorism means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group of certain areas geographic “.
Trump said Gaza’s depopulation is necessary because it was transformed into a “demolition site” after more than 15 months of Israeli bombardment supported by the United States.
“The United States will take control of the Gaza Strip and we will also do a job with. We have it, ”said Trump.
Netanyahu smiles when he heard Trump’s comments at their joint press conference.
In recent months, Trump has also suggested that the United States take control of the Panama, Greenland and Canada Canal.
But his remarks on Gaza in the middle of the immense suffering on the territory were particularly shocked. He was met by the reprimand of many rights activists.
Here are some of what Trump’s criticism had to say:
“Creepy”
Abed Ayoub, Executive Director of the American-Arab Anti-discrimination Committee (ADC), said Trump’s proposal was “terrifying”.
Ayoub said that the American president’s comments are “crazy”, but they should not be taken lightly, stressing that it was Israel’s plan to ethnically clean Gaza.
“It would go against all standards and international law. It is not something that would be allowed to happen, “Ayoub told Tel Aviv Tribune.
“But at this point, you must ask yourself if you look at last year: how much the international community, including Israel, really cares about law and international standards?”
He warned that the displacement of Palestinians would ignite a major reaction to Arab countries and place the whole region in new troubles.
‘Threat to world peace’
Raed Jarrar, director of advocacy of the US-based rights group, criticized Trump’s remarks on the depopulation of Gaza and the United States which resumes the enclave.
“President Trump’s delusional comments on the possession of Gaza highlights the need for the international community to hold Israeli and American officials,” Jarrar told Tel Aviv Tribune.
“Lining on Israel’s partner in genocide and ethnic cleaning is not only a threat to Palestine, it is a threat to world peace and international order.”
“Ethnic cleaning approval”
Tariq Habash, who resigned from administration Joe Biden for his unconditional support for Israel, said that Trump’s plan is “approval of ethnic cleaning” and a “blatant violation of international law”.
“The United States is not allowed to” own “Gaza or dictate a future for the Palestinian people. It is not a diplomacy and is not in the interest of America, ”said the Think Tank, a new policy, a new policy in Tel Aviv Tribune, in Tel Aviv Tribune.
“ Call to the commission of crime against humanity ”
Nancy Okail, president of the Center for International Policy, said that Trump’s proposal echoes the ideas of “the darkest chapters in history”.
“The comments of President Trump proposing that the population of the Gaza Strip is permanently moved and that the United States” takes over “the territory is nothing less than an appeal open to the commission of a Crime against humanity, “Okail said in a statement.
“It is unacceptable that president of the United States promotes the forced displacement of a population and an acquisition of territory in the 21st century.”
“The Palestinians are not going anywhere”
MP Rashida Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat, called her colleagues who say they support the two -state solution to express themselves against Trump.
“Palestinians are not going anywhere,” wrote Tlaib in an article on social networks.
“This president can only spit this fanatic bull because of bipartisan support at the congress to finance genocide and ethnic cleaning.”
“Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people”
The American-Islamic Relations Council (CAIR) rejected Trump’s comments, saying that if the American president really wants peace in the region, he must work to put an end to the oppression of the Palestinians.
“Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people, not in the United States, and the call of President Trump to move the Palestinians of their lands temporarily or permanently is an absolute non-damage,” said executive director of Cair Nihad Awad in a press release.
“If the Palestinian people were in a way expelled by force of Gaza, this crime against humanity would end the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians on their own land, sparkles a widespread conflict, would put the last nail in the coffin of international law and definitively cracks Our nation in our country international image. “”
Bismillah. Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people, not in the United States, and President Trump’s call to expel the Palestinians from their land is an absolute non-start. Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the whole Muslim world have clearly indicated that this delirious idea is …

“Palestinians cannot be erased”
The American Arab Institute said Trump had organized a “war criminal” in the White House for an “occasional discussion” of genocide and ethnic cleaning.
“This declaration will give ammunition to Iran and other opponents while undermining our Arab partners in the region. He defies decades of American bipartisan support for a solution to two states – the only viable means to guarantee the peace, stability and security of the Israeli and Palestinian peoples, “the group said in a series of publications on social networks.
“Palestinians cannot be deleted.”
