Palestinian factions have condemned recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, who proposed the displacement of residents from the Gaza Strip to neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt.

This proposal, which surfaced during Trump's discussions with Jordan's King Abdullah II, has sparked significant backlash across Palestinian political groups.

Hamas, a leading Palestinian faction, has vowed to thwart any plans for displacement. Bassem Naim, a prominent leader within Hamas, stated to AFP, "Our people, as they have thwarted for decades all plans for displacement and alternative homelands, will also fail such projects." Naim's comments directly address Trump's suggestion, emphasizing the historical resistance of Palestinians against such initiatives.

The Islamic Jihad Movement has also voiced its outrage. The group condemned Trump's remarks as aligning with "the worst of the extremist Zionist right’s agenda." They accused Trump of promoting war crimes and crimes against humanity by suggesting forced displacement. Islamic Jihad called on nations, particularly Egypt and Jordan, to reject these proposals, highlighting the Palestinian people's steadfastness in resisting such schemes.

The Palestinian Resistance Committees labeled Trump's statements as "aggressive and fascist," accusing him of supporting Zionist myths. They urged Egypt and Jordan to stand against these plans, asserting that the resilience of the Palestinian people would ensure the failure of these displacement efforts, much like previous unsuccessful attempts by the U.S. and Israel.

The Mujahideen Movement condemned Trump's proposal, describing it as an extension of aggression against the Palestinian people. They pointed out that these statements reflect a continuity in U.S. policy aimed at supporting genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The Movement called for Arab and Islamic rejection of Trump's statements and for unity among Palestinians to counter these threats.

On Saturday, President Trump, during a conversation with Jordan's King Abdullah II, discussed the idea of constructing housing in Jordan for over a million Palestinians from Gaza. He described Gaza's current state as "real chaos" and indicated plans to discuss similar arrangements with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. These comments, reported by CNN, have ignited a firestorm of criticism and concern over the welfare and rights of Palestinians in Gaza.

This proposal has not only stirred political debate but also raised questions about international law, human rights, and the sovereignty of the involved nations. As this story develops, the international community's response could shape the future of peace negotiations and the humanitarian situation in Gaza. (ILKHA)
