Why it matters:
Donald Trump's plan for the Palestinians involves exerting maximum pressure on various countries to gain their support. However, if countries openly criticize this plan and do not back it, it could ultimately result in the decline of U.S. hegemony.
The bigger picture:
Recently, US President Donald Trump suggested that Palestinians should be resettled outside of Palestine and proposed that Palestinian territories, including Gaza, be placed under the U.S. administration. His statement has faced strong condemnation from governments and the public around the world.
What he's saying:
Professor Kamaruzaman Yusoff stated, "What Mr. Trump is saying violates international laws and indicates that he lacks humanity; he is behaving irrationally. Previously, other leaders expressed some reservations, but now this is seen as a continuation of the bombardment and what is happening in Gaza."
Key points:
- Trump's statement is a violation of International laws.
- This is the world's responsibility to talk for Palestinians' rights.
- Such moves will be the reason for the end of American hegemony.
