Palestinian stubbornness and rejection of settlement and displacement

After all the previous displacement and settlement plans and projects that were thwarted by the Palestinian people who were holding on to the embers of survival and return, the dealmaker and real estate merchant, US President Donald Trump, came to propose a plan to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip outside their land, in an unexpected service even for the most extreme Zionist right, after failing to achieve this goal through a war of extermination and destruction, and turning the Gaza Strip into an uninhabitable place. The goal of this proposal is also to plunder the wealth of the Gaza Strip, and liquidate the refugee issue, as it is one of the most prominent elements of the conflict with the occupation since the Nakba in 1948.
This proposal also targets the presence of camps that represent the solid nucleus of resistance in the face of the occupation, and this is what Operation Iron Wall focuses on, which targets the camps in the northern West Bank to force the displacement of their residents through a comprehensive war of destruction, against the backdrop of their role in confronting annexation, displacement and settlement projects.
While talking about confronting Trump’s plan for forced displacement, we must be careful of the concepts of voluntary migration promoted by the occupation, especially after the shock that struck the Israeli political and military level as a result of the majestic and inspiring scene of the return of the people from the south and center of the Gaza Strip to the north, that is, from Palestine to Palestine, crowned with stubbornness, joy, crying and songs.
Since the refugee issue is the most obvious title for the suffering and the Palestinian cause, Trump’s thesis to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip came as a prelude to liquidating the issue of six million Palestinian refugees through their displacement and settlement in their places of residence. Displacement includes the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the 1948 territories, while settlement includes the countries hosting the Palestinian refugees, namely Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. This plan cannot be confronted with statements and declarations. Rather, the coming danger requires more than ever the existence of a unified strategy with new and serious no’s to confront the Palestinian stubbornness that bitterly asks what came before, what is the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Arab vision and plan to support the Gaza Strip, and are the Arab countries together serious in confronting Trump’s proposal of decisive and unambiguous no’s, without retreat or compromise.
With appreciation that these noes require rearranging relations and alliances, especially with Islamic countries, foremost among them the Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey, and arriving together at a common vision that overcomes areas of agreement over areas of disagreement, and serves the interest of supporting the Palestinian people and their resistance, and confronting all the challenges that the American administration is working to impose on the region, by strengthening and reinforcing Palestinian stubbornness, patience and steadfastness in resisting displacement and settlement projects, and liquidating the Palestinian cause in its entirety, as the Israelis and the American administration imagine.
