Trump's Delusions... A Declaration of War

It is natural that the statements of US President Donald Trump after his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he reiterated his demand for the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and for the United States to control the Strip, topped other news, which is dwarfed by the Palestinian, Arab and international tremors caused by such dangerous statements, and the stormy reactions that criticized, denounced, condemned and denounced what Trump is seeking to achieve, to please Netanyahu and Israel, considering it a declaration of war against our Palestinian people.

The Palestinian position has been and continues to be clear throughout history on the issue of displacement, expulsion and ethnic cleansing, with a categorical rejection of such suspicious projects, foremost among which is the project that Trump insists on implementing, while emphasizing that the Palestinian people will continue to adhere to their homeland, land and holy sites, until the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital and the return of their refugees, and not to submit to any international authority or power.

Other Arab, Islamic and international positions, especially those of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, will contribute to repelling these bad and shameful statements, which are considered opportunistic and immoral, and will strengthen the Palestinian position with its leadership and people, and will forever reject any attempt to displace the Palestinian people from their land, whether in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, based on the contradiction of this with the Arab project and the fixed historical position on the Palestinian issue, and based on international law that prohibits the deportation or displacement of a people from their occupied land.

Trump's use of the hypothesis of destruction in the Gaza Strip, and his starting from humanitarian motives that life is very difficult in the destroyed Strip, cannot fool anyone, and they are considered a project ready for similar implementation by the ruling Israeli right-wing coalition in the West Bank. Just as Israel carried out the destruction in Gaza, and the task of displacement remained with Trump and the American administration, under the pretext that the Strip is an unfit and unsafe place to live, this will be an encouraging factor for Israel to complete the cycle of destroying the camps, cities and villages of the West Bank, with American cover, through which it gains American legitimacy in the hope that Trump will complete the cycle of ethnic cleansing of our people in the West Bank. There is no doubt that the statements of extremist Israeli ministers, led by Smotrich, who called for the village of Al-Funduq, Jenin and Nablus to become like Jabalia, are clear and tangible evidence of Israel's intentions to continue the destruction operations and to seek Trump's help for displacement.

The Palestinian people will remain steadfast, rooted in their land and homeland, and clinging to every grain of their soil. Trump will inevitably disappear, and will ultimately not remain in the White House. The ones who decide the fate of Palestine are its people, who are the only ones who have the right to do so. Gaza is not for sale, barter or trade, and its people, its people and its inhabitants have decided not to leave their places and temporary headquarters except to their cities and villages from which they were displaced.

What is required is a Palestinian national stance and consensus in the face of this step, provided that the Arab countries maintain their positions and reject all steps and conspiracies targeting the Palestinian cause, so that we can say loudly to Netanyahu: No to destruction, and to Trump: No to displacement, and only our people, on whose rock of steadfastness and perseverance all these projects will be shattered, are the ones who will decide the fate.
