Ramallah, February 6 (RHC)-- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has rejected President Donald Trump’s proposal to take over the Gaza Strip, calling it a “serious violation of international law, and peace and stability in the region.” 

Hamas condemned Trump’s ideas as a “recipe for creating chaos and tension.”  

The leaders of Egypt and Jordan flatly rejected the idea, as did Saudi Arabia, which said it would not establish ties to Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state.  The vast majority of Gaza’s residents have also rejected the plan.  This is Rafida Aql, a displaced Palestinian in Khan Younis.

Rafida Aql: “We completely refuse to be displaced from Palestine. Palestine is our land, our country, the land of our ancestors and the land of our children, God willing. We reject this idea. I call on any Arab or foreign country to receive any Palestinian citizen.  This is our land, and we are staying here, and we will remain here, God willing.”
