The US president Donald Trump’s plan to “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip was “strongly rejected” by Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas on Wednesday.
“President Mahmud Abbas and the Palestinian leadership expressed their strong rejection of calls to seize the Gaza Strip and displace Palestinians outside their homeland,” Abbas’s office said in a statement, adding that “legitimate Palestinian rights are not negotiable.”
Reading the statement on Palestinian public television, Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina stressed that the Gaza Strip “is an integral part of the State of Palestine.”
The Palestine Liberation Organization, an alliance of factions headed by Abbas, also condemned Trump’s proposal to relocate Gazans to Egypt or Jordan.
It rejected “all calls for the displacement of Palestinians from their homeland,” its secretary general, Hussein al-Sheikh, said.
