The comments of the American president intervene in the midst of warnings that the expansion of Israeli operations would be “catastrophic” for the Palestinians.
Washington, DC – The President of the United States, Donald Trump, suggested that he will not block any Israeli plans to resume Gaza.
When asked on Tuesday information that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday decided to occupy the entire Palestinian territory, Trump said that he focuses on “people” in Gaza.
“Regarding the rest, I really can’t say it. It will belong to Israel,” the American president told journalists.
Washington provides Israel with billions of dollars in military aid each year, assistance that increased considerably after the start of the Israel War against Gaza in October 2023.
Israel used the forced displacement orders to put pressure on the Palestinians in constant pockets fight against Gaza, transforming 86% of the territory into militarized areas.
But an increase in military operations in the remaining part of the territory would endanger the lives of the Palestinians, who would already undergo daily bombing and the famine imposed by Israeli.
The so -called Netanyahu’s plans to conquer Gaza have also shown concerns about the safety of other Israeli captives held in the enclave by Hamas and other Palestinian groups.
The senior United Nations officials, Miroslav Jenca, said on Tuesday that a complete occupation of Gaza “would risk the catastrophic consequences”.
“International law is clear.
Israel withdrew its forces and colonies from the Palestinian territory in 2005, but legal experts declared that the enclave remained technically under occupation, because the Israeli army continued to control the airspace of Gaza, territorial waters and entrance ports.
Since the start of the war in 2023, right -wing Israeli officials have called for the restoration of the military presence and the Israeli colonies inside Gaza.
Netanyahu also suggested that Israel aims to remove all the Palestinians from the enclave, in what would be equivalent to ethnic cleaning, a plan that Trump himself echoes in February.
Trump, at the time, proposed to clean Gaza of his people to build a “riviera from the Middle East” in his place.
The recent reports on Israel’s intention to expand its land operations in Gaza are involved in the middle of the growing international outcry on deadly hunger spreading through the territory.
Israel has blocked almost all aid when entering Gaza since March, making GHF sites supported by us almost the only places for Palestinians to have food.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army while trying to reach GHF installations deep in Israel’s control lines. However, the United States has continued to support the organization, despite international calls to allow the UN to distribute aid.
In recent days, Israel has enabled certain catering trucks and air drops to distribute aid to Gaza, but the aid is still far from meeting the needs of the population.
The Israeli army has also been accused of having targeted help seekers trying to make assistance trucks far from GHF sites in northern Gaza.
Trump on Tuesday reiterated his complaint often repeated that the United States provided $ 60 million in Gaza aid. Its administration had provided $ 30 million to GHF.
“As you know, $ 60 million has been given by the United States recently to provide food-a lot of food, frankly-for the inhabitants of Gaza who obviously do not do too well with food,” he told journalists.
“And I know that Israel will help us with it, in terms of distribution and also money. We also have the Arab states (which) will help us with this in terms of money and possibly distribution. ”
The Israeli aggression against Gaza killed more than 61,000 people and flattened most of the territory in what rights defense groups and UN experts called a genocide.
