Hamas Calls on Trump to Retract “Irresponsible” Statements

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.

Trump’s Wishful Thinking For Gaza

This is a take from media personality Ahmad Mansour:

“Statements #ترامب regarding #غزة pour oil on fire, and reveal old malicious plans that the Palestinians have been resisting since the thirties of the last century, as they resist and sacrifice their blood to preserve their survival in their country.

They will remain [on the land] and will not leave it, as homelands flow in their veins and blood, and what Trump and Netanyahu want is nothing but wishful thinking, and what they were unable to achieve in war, they will not succeed in achieving in peace, as possessing power does not mean that you are capable of everything, because God alone, the Almighty Creator, is capable of everything, and tomorrow is near for those who see it.

Russia Rejects Trump Plan For Gaza

Russia on Wednesday slammed US President Donald Trump’s plan to take over the Gaza Strip as a manifestation of the Western “cancel culture.”

Speaking at a roundtable meeting on Ukraine with ambassadors in Moscow, Sergey Lavrov argued that this “culture of cancellation” has now become particularly evident in relation to the situation in the Middle East.

Highlighting the decisions of the UN Security Council, he said that these decisions, “which were recognized by everyone without exception a month and a half ago as a necessary basis for actions to create a Palestinian state, have simply been canceled,” according to Anadolu.

During a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on Tuesday, Trump said that the US “will take over” Gaza after relocating Palestinians elsewhere under a redevelopment plan that he claimed could turn the enclave into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

Stop Spewing ‘Fanatical Bulls…’ Rashida Tlaib Tells Trump

US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib on Tuesday denounced President Donald Trump’s recent controversial proposal for Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip, saying: “Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.”

“This president can only spew this fanatical bulls because of bipartisan support in Congress for funding genocide and ethnic cleansing. It’s time for my two-state solution colleagues to speak up,” Tlaib, the first Palestinian American woman to serve in Congress, wrote on X.

Earlier, rebuffing Trump’s comments on Gaza during a Monday White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Tlaib said the president is “openly calling for ethnic cleansing while sitting next to a genocidal war criminal.”

“He’s perfectly fine cutting off working Americans from federal funds while the funding to the Israeli government continues flowing,” she added, referring to Trump’s federal funding freeze ordered last week.

During his meeting with Netanyahu, Trump suggested that Jordan and Egypt should take in Palestinians from Gaza, calling the enclave a demolition site and uninhabitable.

He later doubled down on his proposal at a press conference with Netanyahu, saying the US “will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” according to Anadolu.

“We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, (and) create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area,” Trump said as reported in the Turkish Anadolu news website.

Jordan, Egypt, and other regional players strongly rejected the proposal, while both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas condemned Trump’s remarks and rejected any attempt to displace Palestinians from their homeland.

Hamas called Trump’s proposal “a recipe for generating chaos and tension,” adding: “Our people in the Gaza Strip will not allow these plans to pass.”

Forcibly displacing a population without justification under international law constitutes a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

Trump Wants The US to “Take Over” Gaza!

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will visit Israel, Gaza, Saudi Arabia and other places in the Middle East.

“I love Israel. I will visit there, and I’ll visit Gaza, and I’ll visit Saudi Arabia, and I’ll visit other places all over the Middle East,” he said during a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

“The Middle East is an incredible place, so vibrant. It’s just one of the really beautiful places and with great people. And I think a lot of bad leadership has taken place in the Middle East that’s allowed this to happen. It’s just terrible,” he said.

“And that includes on the American side, by the way. We should have never gotten in there a long time ago, spent trillions of dollars and created so much death,” he added.

Trump’s remarks came as he hosted Netanyahu at the White House as the first foreign leader since his inauguration.

Netanyahu’s visit came amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza that took hold on Jan. 19, halting Israel’s war, which has killed more than 47,500 people and left the enclave in ruins since an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, according to Gaza’s health authorities.

Nearly 1,200 people were killed in the cross-border attack led by Hamas, according to Israeli figures.

During the news conference, Trump made controversial remarks, saying the US will “take over” the Gaza Strip, which came shortly after he suggested a permanent resettlement of Palestinians outside Gaza according to Anadolu.
