Europe and America split over Gaza's future

The French Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the forced displacement of Palestinians is a clear violation of international law and would be a serious obstacle to a two-state solution. Christophe Lemmon, a spokesman for the ministry, stressed: "France opposes any forced expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza. Such a measure would be a serious violation of international law and a threat to the stability of the region, including our partners such as Egypt and Jordan."

German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock also rejected Trump's proposal, stressing: "Gaza belongs to the Palestinians and any action to expel them is unacceptable and contrary to international law." She warned that such policies would only lead to increased suffering and hatred in the region.

British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy also stressed: “We have always insisted on the two-state solution. The Palestinians should live in their homeland in Gaza and the West Bank and develop in their own land.” Speaking at a press conference in Kiev, he added that any change in the status of Gaza should be made by the will of the Palestinian people, not unilateral decisions by other countries.

Meanwhile, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Álvarez rejected Trump’s plan and stressed that Gaza is the land of the Palestinians who live there and they should stay there. “Gaza is part of a future independent Palestinian state and Spain is committed to achieving this goal,” he said at a press conference in Madrid. Álvarez also stressed that the Palestinian people can count on Madrid’s support, as Spain, in addition to sending humanitarian aid, supports the two-state solution and international action to prevent impunity for crimes in Gaza.

Trump recently claimed at a press conference at the White House and during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "the Palestinians have no choice but to leave Gaza." He claimed that living conditions in the region have become very dangerous and a solution must be found to transfer its people to other countries.
