The world seems to be rejecting US President Donald Trump's plan to elongate his takeover list as he shared his wish to 'own' war-ravaged Gaa Strip and consequently undertake economic development there that will create 바카라unlimited numbers of jobs and housing바카라.
The arab countries, who also happen to be US allies, have rejected the proposal of relocating the Gazans to other countries while the war-tron state is rebuilt.
Trump made the remarks on Gaza during a joint press conference in the White House with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing beside him. He also suggested that the US develop the land but gave no details on who would be allowed to live there.
He proposed that all Palestinians currently living in Gaza 바카라 around 2 million people 바카라 should leave and be placed in other countries in the Middle East.
Trump has already made waves 바카라 and upset longtime allies 바카라 suggesting the purchase of Greenland, the annexation of Canada and the possible takeover of the Panama Canal. It was not immediately clear whether the idea of taking over the Gaza Strip was a well thought out plan, or a plan open to negotiations.
Egypt, Jordan and other Arab countries in the Middle East have rejected the idea of relocating more than 2 million Palestinians from Gaza elsewhere in the region as part of Trump's post-war rebuilding plan for the territory.
Saudi Arabia, an important American ally, weighed in quickly on Trump's expanded idea to take over the Gaza Strip in a sharply worded statement, noting that its long call for an independent Palestinian state was a 바카라firm, steadfast and unwavering position.바카라
바카라The kingdom of Saudi Arabia also stresses what it had previously announced regarding its absolute rejection of infringement on the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, whether through Israeli settlement policies, annexation of Palestinian lands or efforts to displace the Palestinian people from their land,바카라 the statement said.
Similarly, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters in Canberra, Australia, that his country has long supported a two-state solution in the Middle East and that nothing had changed.
바카라Australia's position is the same as it was this morning, as it was last year, as it was 10 years ago,바카라 he said.
Albanese, whose country is one of the strongest American allies in the Asia-Pacific region, seemed frustrated to even be asked about the Gaza plan, underscoring that his policies "will be consistent."
바카라I'm not going to, as Australia's prime minister, give a daily commentary on statements by the US president,바카라 he said. 바카라My job is to support Australia's position.바카라
New Zealand's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that its 바카라long-standing support for a two-state solution is on the record바카라 and added that it, too, 바카라won't be commenting on every proposal that is put forward.바카라
In the US, opposition politicians quickly rejected Trump's idea, with Democratic Sen. Chris Coons calling his comments "offensive and insane and dangerous and foolish.바카라
The idea 바카라risks the rest of the world thinking that we are an unbalanced and unreliable partner because our president makes insane proposals,바카라 Coons said, noting the irony of the proposal coming shortly after Trump had moved to dismantle the US Agency for International Development.
바카라Why on earth would we abandon decades of well-established humanitarian programmes around the world, and now launch into one of the world's greatest humanitarian challenges?바카라 Coons said.
Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian American member of Congress from Michigan, accused Trump in a social media post of 바카라openly calling for ethnic cleansing바카라 with the idea of resettling Gaza's entire population.
Hamas, which sparked the war with its October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, said Trump's proposal was a 바카라recipe for creating chaos and tension in the region."
바카라Instead of holding the Zionist occupation accountable for the crime of genocide and displacement, it is being rewarded, not punished,바카라 the militant group said in a statement.
In its attack on Israel, Hamas killed some 1,200 people, primarily civilians, and took about 250 hostages. On the other hand, Israel who claimed to have retaliated to Hamas' attacks, killed over 47,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to local health authorities through numerous airstrikes, bombs and guns.
The war has left large parts of several cities in ruins and displaced around 90 per cent of Gaza's population of 2.3 million people.
Trump's suggestion came at a White House news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who smiled several times as the president detailed a plan to build new settlements for Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, and for the US to take 바카라ownership바카라 in redeveloping the war-torn territory into 바카라the Riviera of the Middle East.바카라
바카라The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,바카라 Trump said. 바카라We'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, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs.바카라
The comments came amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, during which the militant group has been turning over hostages in exchange for the release of prisoners held by Israel.
