President Trump's suggestion that Jordan and Egypt take more Palestinians from Gaza has been met with rejection from Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls the enclave. Palestinians have expressed concerns that this plan would lead to their permanent displacement from their homeland.
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from war-ravaged Gaza , a suggestion rejected by Hamas , the Palestinian militant group that runs the enclave. Asked if this was a temporary or long-term solution for Gaza , where Israel's military assault has caused a dire humanitarian situation and killed tens of thousands, Trump said on Saturday: 'Could be either.
' A Hamas official reacted with suspicion to the remarks, echoing long-standing Palestinian fears about being driven permanently from their homes. Palestinians 'will not accept any offers or solutions, even if (such offers) appear to have good intentions under the guise of reconstruction, as announced in the proposals of U.S. President Trump,' Basem Naim, a member of the Hamas political bureau, told Reuters. Another Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, urged Trump not to repeat 'failed ideas' tried by his predecessor Joe Biden. 'The people of Gaza have endured death and refused to leave their homeland, and they will not leave it regardless of any other reasons,' Abu Zuhri told Reuters. Palestinian analyst Ghassan al-Khatib said Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, as well as the Jordanians and Egyptians, would reject Trump's plan. 'I don't see any realistic scenario where this plan would be accepted,' he said. 'It's a plan that seeks to displace Palestinians and undermine their right to self-determination.' Al-Khatib added that the plan was 'flawed' and 'unrealistic' and that it was unlikely to achieve its stated goals of 'achieving lasting peace' in the region
