GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad strongly condemned the recent remarks made by US President Donald Trump, in which he called for the displacement of Gaza’s residents to Egypt and Jordan. It added in a statement on Monday that this proposal reflects a continuation of the colonial agenda aimed at eradicating the Palestinian cause and forcibly uprooting its people.
Following is the remaining text of the statement:
“These remarks are yet another desperate attempt to break the will of the Palestinian people. However, through their steadfastness and unwavering resistance, our people repeatedly prove that any attempt to eliminate or displace them from their land is destined to fail. This morning’s awe-inspiring return of Palestinian masses to northern Gaza stands as a bold challenge to the occupation and all plans of forced displacement, reaffirming their commitment to their land and their right to remain on it, no matter the sacrifices.
The call to displace Palestinians from Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem constitutes an additional crime in a long list of international violations. It reveals a profound ignorance of the balance of power and the resilience of peoples. Such displacement and eradication schemes violate international law and human rights and will not go unchallenged.
We, at the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, affirm that Egypt and Jordan, as vital pillars of the Arab and Islamic world, understand the grave implications of these remarks and their catastrophic consequences. They stand firmly with the Palestinian people and their just cause. We call upon the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nations to confront these conspiracies by all possible means.
We firmly believe that this plan, like those before it, will be buried under the unwavering determination of the Palestinian people and their resistance, which will persist until the liberation of the land and the restoration of their rights.”
