US President Donald Trump proposed relocating Palestinians from Gaza after calling it a 'demolition site'. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas condemned the idea, vowing to resist any forced displacement. The proposal sparked international debate, with the Arab League denouncing it as ethnic cleansing. Meanwhile, a potential solution to a dispute linked to hostage-prisoner swaps under the Israel-Hamas truce deal emerged, possibly allowing Palestinian returns to northern Gaza.
Gaza City -Youssef Hassouna with Adel Zaanoun in Cairo and Jay Deshmukh in Jerusalem Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and armed group Hamas vowed on Sunday to defy proposals for the forced displacement of Gazans, after US President Donald Trump floated a plan to"clean out" the war-battered territory.
"We say to Trump and the whole world: we will not leave Palestine or Gaza, no matter what happens," said displaced Gaza resident Rashad al-Naji. The Arab League rejected the idea, warning against"attempts to uproot the Palestinian people from their land". Israel said it would prevent Palestinians' passage until the release of Arbel Yehud, a civilian woman hostage.
"We want the agreement to continue and for them to bring our children back as quickly as possible -- and all at once," he said.
