Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş said that the lands of Palestinian Muslims and Christians are not lands for sale to US President Donald Trump and his companies, but rather they are the property and homeland of the Palestinian people.

This came in a speech he delivered during an educational forum in the southern Turkish province of Antalya on Saturday, commenting on Trump's plan to seize the Gaza Strip and forcibly displace Palestinians from their lands.

Kurtulmuş stressed that the Gaza Strip belongs to its Palestinian residents and will remain so until the Day of Judgment.

He stressed that "the lands of Palestinian Muslims, and the lands of Palestinian Christians, are not plots of land for sale to Trump and his companies. They belong to the Palestinian people, and they are the homeland of the Palestinian people."

He pointed out that the Israeli army, which possesses the most deadly weapons and machines in the world, failed to implement its plan to occupy Gaza in the face of the resistance that has been ongoing for a year and a half, after it had believed that it would be able to do so in a few days.

He stated that there are attempts to save Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his aides after he became embarrassed before world public opinion after a year and a half, especially with regard to the issue of prisoner exchange.

Kurtulmuş also criticized Trump's pressure on the International Criminal Court over its decisions against Netanyahu and Israeli military leaders.

On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on International Criminal Court officials in response to the latter’s issuance in November 2024 of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Galant for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Trump claimed that the ICC "baselessly and unlawfully targets the United States and its close allies like Israel."

Last Tuesday evening, Trump revealed in a press conference with Netanyahu at the White House that his country intends to seize Gaza after displacing Palestinians from the Strip to other countries, before announcing on Friday that he was “in no hurry” regarding the plan amid a flood of angry international reactions.

Since January 25, Trump has been promoting a plan to transfer the Palestinians of Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which was rejected by both countries, and was joined by other Arab countries and regional and international organizations.
