Hamas Calls on Trump to Retract “Irresponsible” Statements
CrossFireArabia- February 5, 2025
Hamas said, Wednesday, that the Palestinian people will not allow any country in the world to occupy their land or impose guardianship over them.
This came in a statement by the movement, commenting on US President Donald Trump’s latest announcement of his intention to seize the Gaza Strip after displacing Palestinians from it.
“We condemn in the strongest terms and reject Trump’s statements for the United States to occupy the Gaza Strip after displacing our Palestinian people from it,” the Hamas statement read.
It added that Trump’s views are hostile to the Palestinian people and their cause, and don’t create stability in the region and only “pours oil on the fire.”
The statement continued: “We affirm that we, our Palestinian people and their living forces will not allow any country in the world to occupy our land or impose guardianship over our great Palestinian people who have offered rivers of blood to liberate our land from occupation and to establish our Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”
Hamas called on the US administration and President Trump to retract these “irresponsible statements that contradict international laws and the natural rights of our Palestinian people in their land.”
The movement also called on the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the United Nations to “convene urgently to follow up on Trump’s statements and take a firm and historic position that preserves the national rights of our Palestinian people, their right to self-determination, and the establishment of their Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital,” according to the statement.
Since January 25, Trump has been promoting a plan to transfer the Palestinians of Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which was rejected by the two countries, and was joined by other Arab countries and regional and international organizations as stated in Quds Press.
