US President Donald Trump repeated his proposal on Sunday to gain control of the Gaza band. In this way, it wants to ensure, among other things, that the militant Hamas movement does not return to this coastal Palestinian enclave, TASR reports on the report of world agencies.
“We are determined to own it, take it and ensure that Hamas does not return. There’s nothing to go back to. It’s a rum. The rest will be demolished, ”said Trump on board Air Force One while traveling from Florida to New Orleans, where he attended the final match of the American Football League (Super Bowl).
According to him, parts of the Gaza band could restore other countries of the Middle East. It is also open to enable some Palestinian refugees to enter the United States, but such applications will be assessed from case to case.
Trump reiterated his earlier statement that the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip should leave the area. According to him, they don’t even want to go back there.
“The only reason they talk about returning to Gaza is that they have no choice. When they have an alternative, they will not want to return to Gaza, “the White House chief said.
Benjamin Netanyahu is enthusiastic after meeting with Trump
Hamas condemned Trump’s latest statements. “Palestinians would frustrate any plans for their expulsion. The Gaza band is not a property that can be sold or purchased. It is an integral part of our occupied Palestinian territory, ”said Izate Ar-Rašk, a member of political Byra Hamas.
On the contrary, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu considers Trump’s proposal to be “revolutionary”. “President Trump has come up with a completely different, much better vision for Israel – a revolutionary, creative approach we are currently discussing,” he said on Sunday at a government meeting, which he came after his return from the visit of the United States.
“He is very determined to implement this plan and I think it opens up a lot of opportunities for us,” Netanyahu said, saying that his visit to the US and an interview with the US President brought “extraordinary results that could ensure Israel’s security for generations for generations ”.
