While High positions of the White House tried Wednesday to clarify Donald Trump’s words about his plan to “take control” of the Gaza Strip, the president has published a message on his social network on Thursday, insisting on his illegal proposal of Ethnic cleaning: “Israel will deliver the Gaza Strip to the US when the fighting ends,” he said.
In addition, the president added that “US soldiers would not be needed” to carry out the operation. “It will reign stability in the region,” he said. The Palestinians and neighboring Arab countries have rejected Donald Trump’s occurrences, which makes it impossible to execute their plan peacefully.
These statements are produced in a context in which negotiations should have begun for the second phase of the high fire agreement in Gaza. On March 1, the first phase of high fire ends and, if Hamas and Israel do not agree an extension, the parties can resume the fighting. The agreement signed in January by Israel establishes that the objective of the second and third phase is the total release of hostages, the definitive cessation of hostilities and the total withdrawal of Israel’s troops.
With Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, and his extreme right -wing allies applauding Trump’s statements, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, has ordered the army to prepare to carry out the “voluntary exit” plan of the Inhabitants of the Gaza Strip.
The experts consulted by eldiario.es agree that it is very unlikely that this plan will be implemented and even argue that they are statements that are not “serious”, which does not mean that they are not dangerous. ” In addition, they explain that it is probably a Trump negotiating strategy to raise their demands before the Arab countries of the region in future conversations.
“The important thing is that it gives Israel much more margin of maneuver because it gives green light to ethnic cleaning as a political option. In addition, it will complicate the negotiations for the second phase of the Alto El Fuego Agreement since Israel will feel sure that the US accepts its most extreme goals, ”says Jørgen Jensehaugen, a researcher on Palestine of the Peace Research Institute of Oslo, a reference institution in studies in studies of peace.
In addition, the researcher argues that this complicates the perspectives of expanding Abraham’s so -called Abraham agreements to other Arab countries, an objective declared by President Trump himself. These agreements are an attempt for Arab countries to normalize relations with Israel, thus giving an implicit consent to Israel’s illegal occupation on Palestine.
Even Egypt, the first Arab country to normalize relations with Israel in 1979, has indicated that the Peace Agreement with Tel Aviv is in danger and they have informed both Israel and the US, according to Times of Israel citing Egyptian sources.
Trump sends this message hours after several US media quotes high positions of the government clarifying the president’s words. His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, even said that any displacement of Gazatis would be temporary and that there was no written plan about the president’s proposal. Almost at the same time, his secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said Trump was only offering the will of the US to clean all the destruction “so that people can return.” Both statements contradict Trump’s claims.
“Palestine, with its land, its history and its holy places, is not for sale or is an investment project. The rights of the Palestinian people are not negotiable or currency, ”said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for the Palestinian President. The Palestinian people “will not yield a centimeter of their land, either in Gaza or the West Bank. The Palestinian people and its leaders will not allow the catastrophes of 1948 and 1967 to be repeated and will disrupt any plan destined to liquidate their just cause through investment projects. ”
