Hamas has vehemently rejected a reportedly proposed plan by former US President Donald Trump to take over Gaza and relocate Palestinians as a “racist” effort to eliminate the Palestinian cause. The militant group issued a statement condemning the plan, stating that any form of external administration in Gaza is not acceptable.
Trump’s apparent plan, apparently to transpose Palestinians to different regions and handover Gaza to outside rule, provokes Palestinian officials and regional confederates, who are saying that the sovereignty of Palestinian rule will not be waived and that, in any given solution, Hamas will not recognize self-control but international control.
This proposal is part of a broader geopolitical discussion on the future of governance of Gaza as its conflicts persist. The Palestinian factions, on the other hand, claim that this Trump plan denies their rights and identity and are calling on the international community to avoid their forced dislocation.
Given the current tensions, the rejection of this troubling proposal reflects the deep divisions regarding Gaza’s future and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
