Donald Trump declared that his plan to “resume Gaza” does not include a right of return for the more than 2 million Palestinians who, according to him, had “no alternative” than to leave due to destruction left by the military campaign of Israel.
The remarks are the last effective approval of ethnic cleaning by the American president, who announced his plan last week at a summit with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to the indignation of the Arab world and to the same surprise His closest aid.
In the interview with Fox Bret Baier, Trump said that he would “have” the Gaza Strip and said it would be a “real estate development for the future”.
At the same time, he continued to approve a plan for the Palestinians to be resettled in Egypt and Jordan, a plan that the two countries have rejected and the largest Arab states in the region said is a non-start.
Trump said he would accumulate up to six new sites so that Palestinians live outside Gaza, in fact permanent refugee camps taken out by the American president.
When asked if the Palestinians would have the right to return to Gaza, Trump said to Baier: “No, they would not do it, because they will have a lot of housing much better.
“Could be five, six, could be two,” he said. “But we are going to build safe communities, a little far from where they are, where all this danger is.
“In other words, I’m talking about building a permanent place for them because if they have to come back now, it will be years before you can never-it’s not habitable,” he said .
No serious discussion has so far been held in the Pentagon or the State Department concerning how the United States could legally or logistically manage the task proposed by Trump.
But the announcement was greeted by the Movement of the far right settlers of Israel, as well as their evangelical allies in the United States which approved the annexation of the Gaza Strip and other occupied Palestinian territories, including West Bank.
“In the meantime, I would have this,” said Trump about Gaza. “Consider it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a magnificent land. Not a lot of money spent.
Sunday, the best UN UN investigator on human rights, Navi Pillay, a news website told Politico, that Trump’s plan for the “forced trip of a occupied group is a crime International and is equivalent to ethnic cleaning ”.
“There is no way under the law that Trump could execute the Palestinian dislocation threat to their land,” said Pillay.
More than 1.5 million Palestinians and their descendants who lost their house during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war currently lived in refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Gaza Strip and to The West Bank, including Eastern Jerusalem.
