In a strong rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial proposal to displace Palestinians from Gaza, Palestinian Ambassador to Ghana, Abdulfatah Alsattari, emphasized the violation of international law and the historical rights of the Palestinian people.

Why it matters:
Trump's suggestion to "take over" Gaza and resettle its population has sparked widespread condemnation from various global leaders and organizations. This proposal not only threatens the rights of Palestinians but also undermines international law, raising serious ethical concerns about the treatment of displaced populations.

 

The big picture:
The Zionist regime's genocide in Gaza has drawn international attention, with calls for justice and sovereignty for the Palestinian people. The ambassador's remarks highlight the long-standing issues of occupation and displacement, which provoked responses from Arab and Muslim leaders worldwide.

 

What he is saying:
Alsattari stated, “Trump should ask Israel to leave the Palestinian land.” He further elaborated on the historical context, saying, “People around the world are asking Israel to leave the Palestinian land not only to stop the war against Gaza and the West Bank... I think anyone who knows what has been happening in Palestine from 1948 would ask Israel to leave the Palestinian land because this is our historical land.”

 

Key points:

  • The Palestinian envoy firmly rejected any plans for the forced displacement of Palestinians, asserting that "nobody will leave."
  • Arab and Muslim leaders have reiterated their commitment to Palestinian sovereignty.

 

Go deeper:

The international community's response to Trump's proposal reflects a growing concern over the humanitarian implications of displacement and occupation. As the situation in Gaza continues to evolve, the call for justice and recognition of Palestinian rights remains a central issue in global diplomacy.
