Trump suggests that the US will have long -term control over the Gaza band and ensure its recovery.
Filippo Grandi, a high Commissioner of the United Nations (UNHCR), expressed his dismay and surprise at US President Donald Trump’s proposal, who said at night on Wednesday that the US should take control of the Gaza band. Grandi also said they are negotiating with the US about further UNHCR support, TASR reports according to AFP.
Grandi said in an interview with AFP that it is currently unclear what Trump’s proposal involved in Gaza. It is therefore difficult to comment on such a “sensitive question”.
Trump at night on Wednesday after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House suggested that the United States will take over long -term control over the Gaza band and ensure its renewal. According to Trump, the US, in the Palestinian enclave, will level the earth -destroyed buildings and subsequently ensure economic development. According to his proposal, the Palestinians would leave the Gaza band and adopt their neighboring states.

In an interview, Grandi also focused on supporting his office by the US. After inauguration, Trump ordered 90 days to suspend all foreign aid provided by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). AFP recalls that up to 40 percent of UNHCR funds come from the US.
Grandi said UNHCR is currently in the process of “re -negotiation” support by the US. “It’s all very variable at the moment, which is a problem because we are an organization that can’t wait too long,” he said.
After his return to the White House, Trump had already ordered the US to leave the World Health Organization (WHO) and withdraw from the 2015 Paris climate agreement. On Wednesday he announced the termination of cooperation with the UN Council for Human Rights (UNHRC) The UN for helping the Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and ordered to review the USA in the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO).
