President Trump has threatened to withdraw aid from Jordan and Egypt if they do not accept Palestinian residents from Gaza as part of his relocation plan. This proposal, which asserts that Palestinians would have no right of return, faces strong opposition from these countries and international bodies, citing legal concerns over forced displacement.
Tehran, IRNA – President Donald Trump has issued a warning that the United States may terminate financial aid to Jordan and Egypt should they decline to accept Palestinian individuals from Gaza, who are to be forcibly relocated under his contentious proposal. In a recent interview with FOX News, Trump stated that Palestinians would have “no right of return” to Gaza under this plan, underscoring the controversial nature of his approach.
Trump’s vision for U.S. control over Gaza, involving the transfer of its current residents to neighboring nations, has drawn significant backlash from both the Arab world and other international entities. Leading United Nations officials have declared that any forced removal of Palestinians would violate international law, potentially classifying it as a war crime or ethnic cleansing.
When queried about the prospective destinations for displaced Palestinians, Trump expressed optimism, stating, “I think I could make a deal with Jordan. I think I could make a deal with Egypt.” However, both Jordan and Egypt, which benefit from considerable U.S. financial and military support, have categorically rejected the idea of accommodating additional Palestinian refugees within their territories.
In conclusion, President Trump’s controversial plan to relocate Gaza’s residents and the associated threats to cut aid to Jordan and Egypt have elicited strong criticism and legal concerns. The staunch opposition from both countries and international laws against forced displacement highlight the complexities and potential ramifications of this proposed policy. The situation remains tense as stakeholders assert their positions on this sensitive issue.
