After meeting with Binjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, Donald Trump said, “Gaza is now hell.” This was before the Israeli bombings due to Hamas' terror. The American president wants to relocate 2 million people in Gaza to neighboring countries — especially Egypt and Jordan — to rebuild the country. What does U.S. allies, Trump critics and another participants in the mediate East conflict say?
Hamas' terrorist organization, which started a war in the Gaza Strip by attacking Israel on 7 October 2023, reacted immediately.
— We consider these plans to be a recipe for causing chaos and tension in the region due to the fact that Gazans will not let this “Sami Abu Zuhri, a typical of the organization, commented. Hamas is terrified of losing power.
The representatives of the Israeli government view this completely differently. "This is what happens erstwhile 2 courageous leaders meet," wrote Minister of Transport Miri Regew. In turn, Eli Kohen, Minister of Energy, described this as “a historical morning for the State of Israel, the mediate East and the World.”
Beni Ganc, opposition politician and erstwhile chief of the army, besides praised Trump in his statement: “President Trump showed — and not for the first time — that he is simply a actual friend of Israel and will proceed to stand by his sideon crucial issues to strengthen its safety." According to Ganca, the president of the United States presented "a creative, first and interesting way of thinking".
Jordan and Saudi Arabia against Trump's plan
Jordan, where 3,000 American soldiers are stationed, rejected the resettlement of Palestinians. A fewer days ago, Trump invited King Abdullah II to the White home for mid-February, and the plan will most likely be the subject of a heated debate.
A large part of the Jordanian population are Palestinians. However, the government is very worried that radicalized people in the Gaza Strip can come to their country. Since the beginning of the war, the kingdom has refused to accept refugees.
Saudi Arabia, another major U.S. ally, seems Surprised by this move. Leaders in Riyadh reject "interference in the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, whether through Israeli settlement policy, I annex Palestinian territories or efforts to drive Palestinians out of their land".
The leaders of Saudi Arabia are opponents of Hamas and would like to improve relations with Israel. But they fear the reaction of their own people. Despite good relations between the Saudi royal household and Washington, the Arabs have no choice but to criticize Trump's plan.
Even Republicans respond with caution
There is besides criticism in the West. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said its country continues to support a two-state solution. "I am not going to comment on the statements of the president of the United States daily," said Albanese, known for Israel's criticism.
"He completely lost his mind," wrote Chris Murphy, Democratic organization Senator from Connecticut, on platform X (formerly Twitter). "US invasion of the Gaza Strip would have killed thousands of American soldiers and decades of war in the mediate East. It's like a bad, sick joke."
Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, accused Trump of “ethnic cleansing”. On the another hand, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a Republican senator and presidential ally, commented in a conversation with CNN: “We will see what our arabian friends will say.” He added that citizens of his state most likely "They wouldn't be enthusiastic. Set to send Americans to take over the Gaza Strip."
