Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has issued his first public comment on US President Donald Trump’s plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza. Speaking to “The Rest is Politics” podcast, hosted by Alastair Campbell, Al-Sharaa firmly rejected the idea, stating that no force can uproot an entire people from their land.
“I believe there is no power that can uproot a people from their land. Many countries have tried to do so and have all failed, especially during the last war in Gaza. Over the past year and a half, people have endured pain, killing, and destruction, yet they refused to leave their land,” he said.
Al-Sharaa emphasized that for over 80 years, all attempts to displace Palestinians have failed. “Those who left regretted their decision. The lesson every Palestinian generation has learned is the importance of holding onto the land. It would be neither wise nor morally or politically right for Trump to lead an effort to force Palestinians out of their land, in my opinion,” he added.
Drawing a comparison to US policies on immigration, the Syrian President questioned Trump’s stance. “Why does he expel Mexicans from America? And now he is doing the same thing here. I believe this is a serious crime that will ultimately lead to disastrous consequences and will not succeed,” he warned.
Trump recently reiterated his plan to “own and buy” Gaza, dismissing Palestinian objections and framing the issue as a real estate matter. He also suggested reallocating parts of Gaza to neighboring countries, further fueling controversy over his proposal according to the Quds News Network.
