Palestinians won’t have right to return to Gaza: Donald Trump

The Hindu  

President Donald Trump said Palestinians in Gaza would not have a right to return under his plan for U.S. “ownership” of the war-torn territory, contradicting other officials in his administration who have sought to argue Trump was only calling for the temporary relocation of its population. Less than a week after he floated his plan for the U.S. to take control of Gaza and turn it into “the Riviera of the Middle East,” Trump, in an interview with FOX News’ Bret Baier that was set to air Monday, said “No, they wouldn’t” when asked if Palestinians in Gaza would have a right to return to the territory. Editorial | A call for chaos: On Donald Trump’s Gaza Strip proposal “We’ll build safe communities, a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is,” Trump said. After Trump’s initial comments last week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Secretary of State Marco Rubio respectfully insisted that Trump only wanted Palestinians relocated from Gaza “temporarily” and for an “interim” period to allow for debris removal, the disposal of unexploded ordnance and reconstruction. A senior Hamas official blasted Trump’s latest remarks about the U.S. ownership of Gaza as “absurd.” Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’ politico bureau, said these comments “reflect a deep ignorance of Palestine and the region.” In comments released by Hamas early Monday, he said Trump’s approach toward the Palestinian cause will fail.
