Palestinians in Gaza on Wednesday condemned and confused President Trump’s announcement that the United States should control the destructive coastal territory and forcibly displace its entire population.
Many Ghazans said they find Mr Trump’s comments condemnable, saying that he was in accordance with the plans offered by the right -wing members of the Israeli Governing Alliance. But when some people rejected Gaza to leave in any case, others said that after 15 months of the Israeli bombing, the situation was so unacceptable that they would consider moving.
“I need to stay in my land. Gaza city resident, 24 -year -old Mohammed fares, who was displaced in the southern city of Khan Yunus, said that my life, my family and my memories are here. “I have something in Gaza. I can’t get anywhere else. I will stay, even in hell.”
Mr Fares said he was living in relatives’ house in Khan Yunus because his family’s house was in a raid in Gaza city and because the water was very low.
After a war, there are about two million Palestinians in Gaza, which has put the cities into rubble and killed tens of thousands. Israel fought against Hamas after leading an invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, after which Israel was attacked, killing about 1,200 people.
Mr Trump said that all Palestinians in Gaza should be transferred to neighboring Arab countries such as Egypt and Jordan due to the destruction of war.
The Palestinians blew up the concept of forced migration, though some said they would be open to find a more stable life outside Gaza.
“It is unacceptable that people were expelled from their homes,” said 33 -year -old Mukils al -Masri, a resident of the northern town of Bait Hanun. “
If they were able to move out of Gaza, Mr Al -Masri said, “They will.”
“Do I want to live in a more 20 or 30 years of tragedy? Do I want to live through hell?” I can’t. “
Since the fire was implemented between Israel and Hamas on January 19, the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza has increased, but residents have said that restoring the usual relative degree still seems to be many years away. The easiest task before the war – charging or bathing phones – has become a daily test.
He said that to take a shower, Mr. McLaughs, his wife, and three sons lay a plastic sheet across the classroom at a UN school and throw glasses of water on themselves.
Other Palestinians criticized Mr Trump’s claim that he would live in “peace and harmony” in new places outside Gaza.
Some Arab countries have seriously restricted the rights of Palestinian refugees. For example, in Lebanon, they have been prevented from working in many professions.
“Arab countries understand the seventh -class citizens,” said Abdul Rahman Basri, 27, a doctor in the central Gaza city of Dear al -Bala. “Why should I leave the land of my ancestors and ancestors?”
