German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the idea of displacing Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt or Jordan is unacceptable.

This came in response to a question about why Germany provided weapons to Israel, which committed war crimes, during an election event for his party in the capital, Berlin.

Claiming that Germany provided military support to Israel to defend itself, Scholz said: "We evaluated each decision individually. We did not discuss each decision publicly on this issue."

He added that they will continue to support Israel with weapons, adding that "respect for international law is at the heart of everything that includes civilian assistance to the people of Gaza, the two-state solution and a just vision for the future."

Scholz said, "The perspective on this issue must be a two-state solution through which peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine can take place."

"From my point of view, this means concretely that the Palestinian Authority administration must also take responsibility for Gaza, and the possibility of a two-state solution must develop from there," he added.

The German Chancellor added that living together can only be achieved in this way, and that his country will not give up defending it.

In response to US President Donald Trump, without mentioning his name, who raised the idea of displacing Palestinians in Gaza to Arab countries, especially Jordan and Egypt, Scholz said: “Any plans for resettlement, and the idea of deporting the people of Gaza to Egypt or Jordan, are unacceptable.”

Scholz stressed that hopes for peace should not be risked now, saying: "This is very important. It is not just a pause. A lasting peace must emerge from a ceasefire."

During the event, two people protested against Scholz because Germany supplies weapons to Israel.

On Saturday, Trump called for the displacement of the Palestinians of Gaza to neighboring countries, such as Egypt and Jordan, citing the "lack of habitable places in the Gaza Strip" as a result of the Israeli genocide.

With American support, Israel waged a genocidal war against the Palestinians in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and January 19, leaving about 159,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
