Trump’s plan and the reaction from the Middle East
US President Donald Trump has declared that it is necessary to resettle Palestinians from the Gaza Sector and offered to consider the enclave a piece of real estate.
They emphasise that such talk is at odds with reality. The children of Gaza are orphans in poverty; they do not dream of the Riviera – they are entirely deprived of the luxury of dreaming. Noting the US President’s tendency of self-promotion and PR moves, a number of experts believe that his statements on Gaza may seem like a farce, but the problem is that this man is the head of the largest empire in history. For many, the project is fraught with danger and should be taken seriously.
In a statement issued by the Emirati Foreign Ministry, the UAE voiced a firm ‘no’ to calls for the deportation of Gazans. The words of the US President violate all international laws and relations, the right to self-determination, international legitimacy and all previous agreements on the resolution of the Palestinian question, local experts noted.
In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry “categorically rejected attempts to displace the Palestinian people from its land”.
