Why It Matters:
For decades the US has portrayed itself as a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, its actions have often aligned with Israeli policies that expand occupation and intensify the oppression of Palestinians.
The Big Picture:
Recent comments about taking control of Gaza by US President Donald Trump have sparked widespread condemnation. Palestinians view this as a clear endorsement of ethnic cleansing.
This plan has been denounced by many in the international community as a violation of international law.
What They are Saying:
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation in a statement also supported the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), describing it as an "element of stability in the region."
Key Points:
- Condemnation of Trump's Remarks on Forcibly Relocating Palestinians from Gaza.
- Emphasis on Gaza being an inseparable part of the Palestinian territories.
- Call for a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
