According to the US President, other countries in the Middle East could be commissioned to rebuild parts of the enclave.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, repeated his controversial proposal to check the Gaza Strip and stated that he was determined to “buy and own” the enclave that was ready for war.
In conversation with reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said that Gaza was to be seen as a “big real estate site”, and other countries in the Middle East could be commissioned to change its renovation.
“As far as we rebuild it, we will give it to other countries in the Middle East to build sections of it. Other people can do this through our patronage, ”said Trump on the way to New Orleans to take part in the Super Bowl.
“But we have committed ourselves to own, take it and ensure that Hamas does not come back. There is nothing to withdraw. The place is a demolition location. “
Trump also claimed that displaced Palestinians would prefer not to return to Gaza despite his proposal, which led the Palestinian representatives and a large part of the international community to counter reactions.
“If we could give you a home in a safer area – the only reason why you are talking about returning to Gaza is that you have no alternative. If you have an alternative, you don’t want to return to Gaza, ”said the US President.
The Hamas, the Palestinian Group, Gaza rules, confirmed its opposition to Trump’s proposal on Sunday and described his latest comments as “absurd”.
“Gaza is not a property that can be bought and sold, and it is an essential part of our occupied Palestinian country,” said Izzat al-Risheq, member of the Hamas Political Bureau, in a statement that was shared in telegram.
“Dealing with the Palestinian question with the mentality of a real estate dealer is a recipe for failure,” added Al-Risheq.
“Our Palestinian people will thwart all shift and deportation plans. Gaza is one of his people. “
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s proposal as a “revolutionary” and “creative” when he spoke up hours after his return from Washington, DC, where he had talks with the US president.
Trump amazed the Palestinians and the international community on Tuesday by proposing that Washington Gaza took over as part of a bold renovation plan, from which he claimed that he could transform the enclave into “The Riviera of the Middle East”.
The US President doubled his proposal the following day after officials tried to dampen the setback to the proposal by insisting that every new settlement of the Palestinians would be temporary.
Trump, a real estate developer before entering politics, stated only a few details about how he would implement his proposal, which in addition to the interpretation of legal and ethical concerns would be exposed to huge practical hurdles.
After Trump initially said he was open to the possibility of sending the US military in Gaza Strip, later said that no American soldiers were necessary to carry out the plan.
Neighboring states such as Egypt and Jordan have rejected round calls to accept displaced Palestinians, although Trump’s proposal to be relocated in “other countries with humanitarian hearts”.
On Sunday, Saudi Arabia condemned a Netanyahu proposal that the country of the kingdom was used to found a Palestinian state.
“The kingdom confirms that the Palestinian people have a right to their country and that there are no intruders or immigrants who can be excluded if the brutal Israeli occupation wishes” to try the attention of Israel’s persistent “crimes” in Gaza “redirect”.
