Nataindonesia.com • International reactions to President Donald Trump’s plan to take over the Gaza Strip and develop it into the “Riviera Middle East” are heating up. Several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Palestine, and Australia, have strongly condemned Trump’s plan, which they consider a form of oppression and expulsion.
Widespread Criticism from Arab Countries
Arab countries have issued statements asserting that they will not negotiate relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state. They also strongly oppose Trump’s plan, which they see as a form of oppression against the people of Gaza.
The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Foreign Affairs opposed Donald Trump’s stance on taking over Gaza, stating that it cannot be justified for any reason.
“A firm rejection of any form of violation of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, whether through Israel’s settlement policies, land annexation, or attempts to expel Palestinians from their land,” reported AFP.
Palestine and Hamas Do Not Agree
Palestine and the Hamas organization strongly reject Trump’s plan and state that the people of Gaza will not allow the plan to proceed. They view this plan as a form of expulsion that could further escalate tensions in the region.
“We will not allow violations of the rights of our people. We have fought for their rights for decades. Such a proposal is a serious violation of international law. Peace and stability in the region will not be achieved without the establishment of a Palestinian state,” said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Australia and Germany Voice Criticism
Australia and Germany also condemned Trump’s plan, with both countries reaffirming their commitment to the two-state solution as a legitimate and just way forward. They consider Trump’s plan a violation of international law.
Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and develop it into the “Riviera Middle East” has drawn widespread criticism from various countries and international organizations. The long-term impact of this plan remains unclear, but it is certain to affect the political dynamics in the region. It could also influence the power of Russia and China to dominate, further worsening the situation and leading to Trump being opposed by all countries.
