Global Community Rejects Trump’s ‘Provocative’ Plan for Gaza
5 February (DeccanLive.com – Webdesk): Donald Trump’s announcement to establish control over the Gaza Strip after relocating Palestinians elsewhere has sparked widespread backlash internationally. The global community has condemned the American president’s provocative plan, calling it disastrous for achieving lasting peace in the Middle East.
Several nations have firmly opposed any attempts to displace Palestinians from their land and deprive them of their state.
United Kingdom
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, during a press conference on his visit to Ukraine, emphasized ensuring a secure future for Palestinians in their homeland. He stated, “We have always been clear in our stance that a two-state solution must be achieved. Palestinians should live and thrive in their ancestral lands in Gaza and the West Bank.”
France
The French Foreign Ministry declared that the forced displacement of Gaza’s population would represent “an attack on the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, destabilize the region’s security, and be a grave violation of international law.”
Turkey
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan strongly opposed the idea, stating that relocating Gaza’s residents is something neither Turkey nor the regional countries would accept. He described the proposal as “absurd and meaningless.”
Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş criticized Trump’s warm reception of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces accusations of war crimes, stating it represents “a deep wound on the conscience of humanity.”
China
China rejected the forced displacement of Gaza’s population and called for accelerating efforts to establish a Palestinian state. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian expressed hope during a press conference, saying Beijing expects all parties to view the post-conflict situation in Gaza as an opportunity to reignite political efforts for a two-state solution.
Russia
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov reiterated Russia’s belief in resolving the Middle East conflict through a two-state solution. He remarked, “We heard Trump’s suggestion of relocating Gaza’s population, but we proceed from the fact that Arab nations will not accept this idea.”
Global Rejection
Scotland, the European Union, and the broader Islamic world have firmly rejected Trump’s plan to forcibly displace Palestinians and take control of Gaza.
