The Palestinians challenge the Trump plan

For most Palestinians who live in the Gaza Strip, there is already a painful history of forced displacement that is at the heart of their response to US President Donald Trump's plan to take over the war torn.

Speaking to the BBC, residents of a tent camp in the town of Deir Al -Bala expressed his shock and challenge to the idea of ​​resettlement permanently abroad.

Mahmoud Bahgat, from the north, said: “Even if that costs us our souls, we will not leave Gaza.” “We are against Trump's decision. He ended the war, but our displacement will end our lives.”

On the other hand, many Israelis were satisfied with radical ideas from the White House, especially those on the extreme right who seek to resettle Gaza.

Since the ceasefire in Gaza – on the eve of Trump's inauguration last month – there were dramatic scenes for the Palestinians who returned to the remainder of their homes.

Families accumulated property in cars and donkeys or long distances along the coastal road, and often reach piles of rubble.

According to the United Nations, at least 1.9 million people, or about 90 % of the population, across Gaza, arose within 15 months of the war.

The scenes of the Palestinians in this step have echoed black and white shots since 1948 and the collective evacuation that occurred during the fighting before and after the establishment of the State of Israel.

Then he forced more than 700,000 people from their homes. The majority of Ghazan are the descendants of these indigenous refugees.

The valley of the valley stands between the rows of plastic covers in the Deir Pala Camp, that her family has now sacrificed enough and that she is determined to build a new house.

“We have endured a year and a half of the war. When the (Israeli army) finally withdraws from here, we want to remove the rubble and live on the ground.”

“After the United States made Israel our homes in Gaza, it tells us that Gaza has been destroyed and we have to leave?” Mrs. Wadi Talul. “If only one drop of blood remains in our children, we will not leave Gaza. We will not abandon it!”

Many Palestinians who we spoke to are calling to Jordan and Egypt – which Trump presses to take the displaced invaders – and for Saudi Arabia – who wants to normalize relations with Israel – to pressure us.

Since its foundation, Israel has rejected the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their historical homeland, because this would have left the Jewish people as a minority within its borders. Today, there are about 5.9 million Palestinians registered by the United Nations, with most of them live in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

Israel has long argued that those who were stripped by the Arab states should be absorbed, noting that thousands of Jews left these people to come to Israel during regional turmoil after it became a state.

Israeli officials suggest that, through the suggestion of the war -torn Gaza, and the creation of “Riviera in the Middle East” after resettlement of the Palestinians elsewhere, the Trump administration presents the new thinking in a long -term conflict.

While Trump did not support the re -establishment of settlements in Gaza, the reaction of settler leaders enthusiastically to the idea of ​​displacement, and called on the Israeli government to act immediately.

Israel occupied Gaza and the West Bank in the Middle East War in 1967 and began building settlements in both of which are widely seen as illegal under international law. In 2005, Israel withdrew its forces and settlers from Gaza, although the United Nations still considers an Israeli region.

“Assuming Trump's statements about the transfer of Ghazan to other countries around the world, we need to move quickly and build settlements throughout the Gaza Strip,” said Nachhala Settlement, which claims to have hundreds of activists ready to move there.

“The Jews should not leave any part of Israel unstable. If we leave any deserted area, it is the exhibition to be overlooked by our enemies,” Nachhala added.

In contrast, Israeli NGOs, anti -anxiety, has now rejected peace, Trump's plan. It supports the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel as part of the long international form of peace in the region, known as a two -state solution.

Peace now said that “there is no possible way to transport two million Ghazan” abroad.

“It is time to stop imagining about ethnic cleansing, forced displacement in Gaza and facing reality – there is only one solution that can guarantee security and stability in the Middle East: two states of two peoples and an end to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict,” commenting.

Many Israelis and Palestinians are concerned about what the latest advertisements can mean for the current talks about the extension of the ceasefire in Gaza.

The next stage of the deal aims to see the return of about 60 remaining Israeli hostages – not all alive – and a more permanent end to fight.

However, the brother of the Israeli hostage held by Hamas told us: “I do not take what Trump says seriously. He is unrealistic. He shoots the stars.”

He added that this was “as with Canada” – referring to the American leader's suggestions that he should become the “51st country” in his country.

Some Ghazan admitted that they felt that one aspect of President Trump's announcement was dependent on reality – his comments that the small coastal strip “is not applicable.”

Last month, the assessment of the United Nations damage showed that clearing more than 50 million tons of the remaining rubble in Gaza as a result of heavy Israeli bombing may take 21 years and relate to $ 1.2 billion.

Bilal Rantisi, a former customs worker, is shocked after his arrival in Gaza City with his wife and four children spent more than a year in the south.

He said: “We have returned to a disaster, the worst in history.” “I did not find my home or my brothers’ homes stand. Trump does not speak in vain. He knows that Gaza is no longer a suitable place for human housing. ”

He said that he was hoping to sell his car and his golden wife's jewelry to raise money.

“I will leave Gaza as soon as possible. Yes, every Ghazan opposes displacement, but put emotions aside, if people are given the opportunity, many will choose to leave.”
