Istanbul: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that no power has the power to evict Palestinians from their homeland. Erdogan said in a press conference at Ataturk Airport on Sunday before going on a tour of three countries in Asia, 'No power can drive the people of Gaza out of their ancient homeland. Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem all belong to the Palestinians. Erdogan said, 'Despite the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, we are seeing that the Israeli government has even more dangerous plans.' He said, 'The suggestions of the new US administration on the Gaza issue under the pressure of the Zionist lobby do not hold any importance for us.'
According to the report of news agency Xinhua, US President Donald Trump presented his 'Gaza Plan' during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on January 4. Trump said that the United States would occupy the war-ravaged Gaza Strip and develop it economically after the Palestinians are settled elsewhere. While proposing to develop Gaza, he had clearly said that the displacement of Palestinians would be permanent. However, later the White House clarified that any displacement from Gaza would be temporary.
Proposed to create Palestine in Saudi
Trump once again reiterated his view on the Truth social platform on Thursday. He wrote, 'At the end of the fighting, Israel will hand over the Gaza Strip to the United States.' He also claimed that no American troops would be needed on the ground to rebuild the region. On January 6, Netanyahu said in an interview with Israel's Channel 14, 'A Palestinian state could be established in Saudi Arabia. They have a lot of land there.' The comments of both Trump and Netanyahu have increased opposition at the regional and international level. Many countries have rejected his support for the removal of Palestinians from their homeland and a two-state solution.
German Chancellor lashes out at Trump.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has criticized US President Donald Trump's plan to transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, calling it 'a scam'. Scholz and opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Friedrich Merz will take part in the first television debate on Sunday evening ahead of the Bundestag elections on February 23. It was one of the major topics discussed on how Germany should establish relations with the United States under Trump's administration. Speaking on the Middle East issue, Scholz reiterated his opposition to Trump's Gaza proposal, reports Xinhua news agency.
Speaking at a campaign event on Friday, Scholz expressed his disagreement, saying, "We should not resettle the population of Gaza in Egypt." During Sunday's debate, Scholz described his strategy to deal with Trump as "clear words and friendly conversation." Merz expressed concern over Trump's proposal, calling it "one of the disturbing proposals of the US administration." However, he suggested that Germany should wait to see what plans the US government intends to pursue "seriously."
