Arab countries dismiss Trump's idea of relocating Palestinians from Gaza

Representatives from six Arab countries, while emphasizing the necessity of implementing the two-state solution, firmly opposed the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, proposed by Trump, in a meeting held in Cairo.

Hawzah News Agency- A six-nation Arab ministerial meeting in Cairo on Saturday firmly rejected the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and reiterated the call for the implementation of a two-state solution.

The meeting, held at Egypt's invitation and attended by representatives from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Jordan, Palestine, and the Arab League, issued a joint statement stressing the importance of working toward a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.

The participating countries voiced their strong opposition to any attempts to infringe on the inalienable rights of Palestinians. This includes settlement activities, forced expulsions, house demolitions, land annexations, or any measures encouraging the displacement or uprooting of Palestinians from their land.

The six nations called on the international community, particularly global powers and the UN Security Council, to take immediate action toward implementing the two-state solution.

This meeting comes in the wake of repeated statements from Trump suggesting to "clean out" Gaza and resettle Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan, describing the enclave as a "demolition site."

The two countries, however, vehemently rejected any call for the displacement or relocation of Palestinians from their land.

Trump's proposal came after a ceasefire agreement took effect in Gaza on Jan. 19, suspending the Israeli war, that has killed more than 47,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023.

Trump's proposal has received widespread condemnation, with critics calling it "ethnic cleansing" and a "war crime." Many countries in the Muslim and Arab world as well as European nations such as France have firmly rejected the idea.
