US President Donald Trump's suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan has been met with widespread criticism. Trump envisions Gaza as a 'Riviera of the Middle East,' but the proposal has been rejected by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas. Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris condemned the idea as a 'clear contradiction' to UN Security Council resolutions, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution and international support for Gaza's civilian population.
Democrats in the US are accusing Donald Trump of 'openly calling for ethnic cleansing' over his plans for Gaza .He has also proposed relocating Palestinians to a"beautiful area" where they can"resettle permanently".However, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Palestinian authority have all rejected his suggestion to relocate its two-million citizens to Egypt and Jordan. Hamas has described the idea as 'absurd' and 'ridiculous'.
"It's very clear the direction of travel here. We need a two-state solution. The people of Palestine and the people of Israel, both have a right to live in states safely, side by side, that's where the focus has to be. "I always adopt the approach, when it comes to the US administration to judge them based on what they do, and not what they say.
