TEHRAN – Iran has strongly condemned a so-called \u201cplan\u201d by U.S. President Donald Trump to relocate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, saying it is an extension of the Israel\u2019s broader scheme to erase the Palestinian identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan to cleanse Gaza and forcibly displace the Palestinian people [from there] is an extension of Israel’s calculated agenda to wipe out the Palestinian nation,\u201d Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Wednesday, Press TV reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe recent claim by the U.S. to seize Gaza represents an unprecedented assault on the core principles of international law and the UN Charter,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n
He insisted such actions are incompatible with \u201cfundamental principles of international law and human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman called on the international community to strongly reject the plan.<\/p>\n
He went on to emphasize the deep-rooted resistance of the Palestinians against Israeli occupation and aggression, noting, \u201cFor 76 years, the Palestinian people have stood firm against the most severe crimes and violations by the occupying regime, refusing to abandon their ancestral land.\u201d<\/p>\n
Accordingly, the Palestinians would never allow the United States and the Israeli regime to erase their historical and national identity, he stressed.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the White House on Tuesday alongside visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the United States would oversee clearing up of destroyed buildings, removing of unexploded ordnance, and \u201cresettling\u201d of Palestinians elsewhere as part of the scheme.<\/p>\n
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We\u2019ll own it,” he said. He also did not rule out to deploy troops to the territory.<\/p>\n
The comments faced widespread rejection by countries, even by Washington\u2019s allies.<\/p>\n
Baghaei urged the global community to unite in opposition to such schemes, particularly highlighting the responsibility of all governments to support the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and freedom from occupation.<\/p>\n
He also reiterated the importance of support for Palestinians on the part of international bodies, asserting, \u201cWe call for a firm rejection of this proposal by the United Nations Security Council, the UN General Assembly, and the UN Secretary-General.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
