Initiative of the US President consists of transferring Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan; President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, condemned ‘any project’ to move from the inhabitants
O and the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, denounced last Sunday (26) to “clean” and transfer its inhabitants to Egypt and Jordan. The end of the far right of the Israeli government Bezalel Smotrich said, however, that this was a “excellent idea,” and that the Palestinians could “establish new and good lives elsewhere.”
After more than 15 months of conflict in the Gaza Strip, a ceasefire began on the 19th. Trump compared the Gaza Strip, devastated by war and immersed in a severe humanitarian crisis, a “place of destruction”, and He said he had talked to King Abdullah II of Jordan and that he expected to talk to Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al Sissi.
“We are talking about 1.5 million people, and we will simply clean it all. Over the centuries, there have been many, many conflicts in that place and, I don’t know, something needs to happen, ”said Trump aboard the presidential plane. “I would like Egypt to take people and would like Jordan to take people,” suggesting that the measure could be “temporary or long term.”
In reaction to Trump’s statements, Jordan Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi reiterated his country’s rejection to the proposal. “Our rejection of the displacement of the Palestinians is firm and will not change. Jordan is for Jordanians and Palestine is for Palestinians, ”said the chancellor.
His colleague from Egypt reiterated “the country’s constant support” to the permanence “of the Palestinian people in his land”, and criticized “everything that affects their inalienable rights, colonization, land attachment, displacement by displacement or promoting the transfer of Palestinians of its territory, whether temporary or permanent ”.
The Arab League criticized “the constant attempts to take the Palestinians out of its land.” “Forced displacement and expulsion of people from their land can only be called ethnic cleaning,” said the organization’s secretariat of the organization.
Crimes of War
According to Bassem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political office, the Palestinians will “frustrate” the American proposal. ”Just as they have frustrated all travel plans and alternative lands for decades, our people will also frustrate such projects,” he said. Islamic Jihad considered that Trump’s proposal “feeds war crimes.” “This proposal is framed as an incentive for war crimes and crimes against humanity, for forcing our people to leave their land,” where most of the 2.4 million inhabitants were repeatedly displaced by war.
Mahmoud Abbas, a rival of Hamas, a movement that took power in the Gaza Strip in 2007 and expelled the Palestinian Authority, condemned “any project” to displace the inhabitants of Gaza. Trump also announced that he will authorize the delivery of 900 -pound pumps to Israel, a measure that was suspended by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
The measure was greeted by Netanyahu, who thanked Trump in a video message for “keeping his promise to give Israel the tools needed to defend himself, defeat our common enemies, and ensure a future of peace and prosperity.” The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Saar, also greeted this “new demonstration of leadership qualities” by the president, saying that “the region is safer when Israel has what it needs to defend itself.”
Trump pressured the conflict parties to complete the ceasefire agreement that came into force last Sunday, with a first exchange of three Israeli hostages, who were discharged from the hospital on Sunday by 90 Palestinian prisoners.
TRUNDA IN THREE PHASES
Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7 left 1,210 dead on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an official data. A total of 251 people were kidnapped that day. Of these, 87 continue to be held hostage, of which 34 were killed, according to the army. Israel’s reprisal offensive in the Gaza range left at least 47,306 killed, most of them, in addition to 111,483 injured, according to a new Balance of the Hamas Ministry of Health released on Sunday.
The first phase of the ceasefire agreement should last six weeks and will allow the release of a total of 33 hostages against about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. At this initial stage, it is planned to negotiate the modalities of the second phase, which should allow the release of the last hostages, before the latter, which provides for the process of Gaza’s reconstruction and the return of hostage bodies that died in captivity.
On Saturday, a last -minute disagreement did not allow hundreds of thousands of residents to begin to return north of Gaza as planned. Israel justified their refusal to let them pass by accusing Hamas of violating the deal by not releasing Arbel Yahud, an Israeli civilian.
Hamas states that she is alive and that Israel’s accusation is a “pretext” for non -compliance with the agreement. Two Palestinian sources told AFP that Yahud will be released in a matter of days, possibly on Friday.
