Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States will “take control” of the Gaza Strip to “rebuild it” after definitively resetting the Palestinians in other regions. Hamás heels the “ridiculous”, “absurd” plan, and warns that it can “brow” the region.
Although from Israel There were already reactions such as the former National Security Minister, El Colono and Antiárabe Itamar Ben Gvir, which urged Netanyahu to adopt said plan “as soon as possible”, Hamas warned that it will not allow it to be fulfilled.

“The people (Palestine) that have remained firm for 15 months (war) against the most powerful military machine and the most criminal army, and that frustrated the attempt to move it, will continue attached to its land and will not accept that plan without Import the cost, ”Hamas spokesman, Abdul Latif al Qanou said in a statement.
Hamas considered Trump’s words as a “racist position” and consistent with “the extreme Israeli right”, before which he called on the international community to reject and support them the right to self -determination of the Palestinians in front of the occupation Israeli.
Rights are not negotiable
For his part, the president of the Palestinian National Authority (ANP), Mahmud Abás, also reacted to the proposal and recalled that the enclave is “integral part” of the Palestinian State.
“We will not allow the rights of our people, for which we have been fighting for decades and for which we have made great sacrifices, be violated,” Abás said in a message collected by the official Palestinian news agency, Wafa.
Abás said that the rights of the Palestinians are not negotiable, and that no one can make decisions about the future of the Palestinians rather than themselves. The president, who also presides over the Palestine Liberation Organization (OLP), thanked the rejection of Saudi Arabia to the forced expulsion of the Gazaties, and asked the UN to take “urgent” measures to protect international resolutions, which recognize the Right to the return of the Palestinians displaced by Israel.
International reaction
The international reaction to Trump’s words did not wait.
China expressed its opposition and has reiterated the need to find a path to a “solution of two states.” Something similar referred to Iran, while Kremlin has preferred to stay out.

France, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Germany alleged that any forced displacement of the population of Gaza “would constitute a serious violation of international law, an attack on the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians.”
The president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has also rejected such a proposal, stating that “it makes no sense” and is “incomprehensible to any human being.”
Trump’s plans
Trump does not rule out playing US troops to support Gaza’s reconstruction and assured that the US will do “whatever necessary” to complete that project, apparently in his head for a long time.
“This was not a decision made lightly. Everyone with whom I have spoken loves the idea that the United States possesses that portion of land, developing it and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent, ”he said.
Trump, a former real estate developmentator, said he had studied the matter “closely, for many months.”
One thing in campaign, another in power
But, it is the first time that Trump, who campaigned with the promise to take They must be permanently resettle in other countries.
A journalist asked him during the press conference what that American occupation would consist of and if it would be prolonged, to which Trump responded affirmatively and said he contemplates a “long -term property position” on the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinians claim the Gaza Strip as part of a future state together with the East Bank and Jerusalem, so the displacement of two million people living in the enclave and its real estate development by the US would end the concept of the concept of Palestinian state as has been conceived so far.
Asked about it, Trump avoided expressing support for the “solution of two states”, which has been for decades the traditional US policy about the conflict, and reiterated his idea that Gazaties are resettled in other countries.

The visit to the United States was an international support for Netanyahu, which was released for the first time from Israel since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against him in November, a decision that Washington has strongly condemned and whose jurisdiction does not recognize .
Before meeting with Netanyahu, Trump signed an executive order to continue with the suspension of funds to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and end the participation of the US in the US United Nations Human Rights Council, which Netanyahu accuses of being partial against Israel.
