Iran Slams US President’s ‘Ownership’ Remarks as Ethnic Cleansing Scheme for Gaza
In a recent statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, has strongly criticized US President Donald Trump’s controversial plan regarding Gaza, labeling it as a shocking move that aligns with Israel’s agenda against Palestinians. This alarming proposal has raised concerns about the potential for ethnic cleansing in the region.
Baghaei condemned Trump’s remarks during a press conference held on Tuesday alongside Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. He described the plan as an unprecedented assault on the core tenets of international law and the United Nations Charter.
Key points from Baghaei’s statement include:
- The plan is a direct attack on the rights of the Palestinian people.
- It aims to erase the historical and national identity of Palestinians who have endured severe oppression for 76 years.
- Baghaei asserts that the Palestinian people will not allow their ancestral land to be taken from them.
Trump’s proposal suggests that Palestinians would “love to leave” Gaza, indicating a long-term US ownership of the area, which he envisions transforming into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” This assertion has further fueled fears of a potential ethnic cleansing campaign in the besieged enclave.
As the situation continues to evolve, the international community is closely monitoring the implications of Trump’s plan for Gaza and its impact on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
