Statements by US President Donald Trump about a proposal for US control of the Gaza Strip and the displacement of Palestinians living there are "dangerous for stability and the peace process", a French government spokeswoman said.
"France is completely against population transfers," said Sophia Primas, emphasizing that France is sticking to its policy - no population transfers and calls for a temporary ceasefire moving towards a peace process and a two-state solution, Israeli and Palestinian.
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy reaffirmed that Palestinians should "live and thrive in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank," reacting to US President Trump's statements about a possible American control of Gaza and the displacement of Palestinians.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated that the Gaza Strip "belongs to the Palestinians, just like the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and should be part of a future Palestinian state."
"The civilian population of Gaza should not be expelled and Gaza should not be permanently occupied or recolonized," Baerbock said in a statement.
Turkey, a firm "No" to Trump on Gaza
Turkey's "no" to US President Donald Trump's plan to relocate the population in the Gaza Strip has also arrived.
“Trump’s statement on Gaza is unacceptable,” Hakan Fidan said in an interview with the Turkish Anadolu news agency. “The expulsion of (Palestinians) from Gaza is an issue that neither we nor the countries in the region can accept. There is no way and we will not even discuss it,” he insisted.
Fidan warned that any plan that leaves the Palestinians “out of the solution” will lead to more conflict. He added that Turkey would review measures it has taken against Israel, such as withdrawing its ambassador and cutting off trade relations, if they stop killing Palestinians and change their living conditions.
Saudi Arabia rejects Trump's plan
Saudi Arabia has rejected US President Donald Trump's plans to expel Palestinians from Gaza. Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its long-standing position that the Palestinians should have their own independent state.
"Saudi Arabia will continue its unremitting efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without this," the Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs refers to Prince Mohammed bin Salman's speech to the Shura Council on September 18, 2024, where he stressed that Saudi Arabia will continue its tireless work to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, adding that the Kingdom will not normalize relations with Israel without this.
During the Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh on November 11, 2024, Crown Prince Salman confirmed the continuation of efforts to establish a Palestinian state and called for an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.
He also called on more countries to recognize the state of Palestine, emphasizing the importance of mobilizing the international community in support of the rights of the Palestinians, which are expressed in the resolutions of the UN General Assembly, considering Palestine suitable for full membership in this world organization.
"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also emphasizes its previously announced categorical rejection of any violation of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, whether through Israeli settlement policies, annexation of Palestinian territories, or efforts to displace the Palestinian people from their land," the statement added.
Trump declared that he wants to take control of war-torn Gaza, displace its residents and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East."
