Trump calls Gaza Strip “important piece of real estate”
Trump was already shocking plans for the Gaza Strip in February. Now he puts on Netanyahus side-and looks back on the war zone through the glasses of the real estate entrepreneur.
US President Donald Trump once again claimed the Gaza Strip. “This is an incredibly important piece of real estate,” he said during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Trump, it would be a “good thing” to have a “peace force like the United States there that controls and owns the Gaza Strip”.
At the beginning of February, Trump had shocked Netanyahus side with a similar statement at a press conference. At that time he said that the United States could take over the Gaza Strip, plan the war -destroyed area, rebuild and transform it into a “Riviera of the Middle East”. The more than two million Palestinians would have to be resettled for this – Trump had brought Egypt and Jordan into play, which rejected such a scenario. According to experts, a forced relocation would violate international law.
“Should never have been submitted”
Trump has now said that he has been hearing “only of killings, Hamas and problems” in the area for years. Israel once “” obsessed “the” property by the sea “and then released in the name of peace – but that failed in his view. “I don’t understand why Israel has ever given it up? It belonged to Israel,” said Trump. “It should never have been given up.”
Netanyahu spoke of “a brave vision” of the US President in Washington. He advocated “giving people in Gaza the free decision where they want to go”. However, critics in Israel also have doubts as to whether the decision would be voluntary in view of the great destruction in the Gaza Strip.
Trump switched on by phone
France’s President Emmanuel Macron joined the rejection of a permanent resettlement of Palestinians with clear words by Egypt and Jordan. Macron, Egypt’s head of state Abdel Fatah Al -Sisi and Jordania’s King Abdullah II, also spoke to Trump on the phone at her three -way summit in Cairo. The Élysée Palace said that they would have emphasized the need for an armistice and the restoration of access for aid deliveries.
