GAZA: Hamas reacted with fury and defiance to a plan floated by United State President Donald Trump to “clean out” Gaza, where a fragile truce between Israel and Hamas aimed at permanently ending the war enters its second week.
“I’d like Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, adding that he expected to speak with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
In response, Bassem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, stated that Palestinians would “foil such projects” as they have done with similar plans for displacement and alternative homelands over the years. He emphasized that Gazans would reject any proposals or solutions, even if presented under the guise of reconstruction, as suggested by U.S. President Trump.
The Hamas leader called Trump’s idea “deplorable,” arguing that it would encourage “war crimes and crimes against humanity by forcing our people to leave their land.”
