TEHRAN \u2013 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has strongly denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s suggestion of establishing a Palestinian state within Saudi Arabia, calling it an unprecedented act of aggression that threatens regional stability and security.<\/p>\n
During a phone conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Monday, Araghchi criticized Netanyahu\u2019s remarks as a \u201cblatant provocation\u201d and a clear reflection of Israel\u2019s expansionist ambitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He warned that such rhetoric demonstrated the \u201crecklessness of the occupying regime\u201d and posed a direct challenge to peace in West Asia. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Araghchi accused Israeli officials of attempting to erase Palestinian identity through forced displacement and the continued expansion of illegal settlements. He also condemned the broader US-Israeli plan, which, he argued, was designed to eliminate Palestinian sovereignty under the guise of \u201crebuilding\u201d Gaza. \u00a0<\/p>\n
His remarks followed a statement by former US President Donald Trump, who suggested that Gaza should come under US \u201cownership\u201d and that Palestinians should be permanently relocated elsewhere. Trump further claimed that displaced Palestinians would find \u201cbetter housing\u201d outside their homeland. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Araghchi rejected these proposals as part of a colonial project aimed at dismantling Palestinian statehood. He urged the international community to take immediate action to prevent what he described as a \u201csystematic attempt to erase the Palestinian liberation struggle through Western-backed Israeli aggression.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
Iran has proposed holding an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to address this escalating crisis. Araghchi emphasized that regional and international cooperation was crucial to countering the \u201cnormalization of genocide and lawlessness by the Israeli regime.\u201d He called on Muslim-majority countries and the global community to ensure accountability for Israeli war crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. \u00a0<\/p>\n
During their conversation, bin Farhan reaffirmed Saudi Arabia\u2019s firm opposition to the forced displacement of Palestinians, dismissing Netanyahu\u2019s remarks as \u201ccompletely unacceptable.\u201d The Saudi foreign minister reiterated Riyadh\u2019s commitment to Palestinian self-determination. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The Popular Resistance Committees, a coalition of Palestinian Resistance movements, also condemned Trump\u2019s remarks, calling them \u201cdelusional\u201d and a continuation of American \u201carrogance\u201d toward oppressed nations. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGaza is not real estate to be bought and sold. It is soaked with the blood of thousands of martyrs and wounded civilians. It will never be for sale and will remain a nightmare for occupiers and tyrants,\u201d the group said in a statement. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua also rejected Trump\u2019s comments, insisting that Gaza is an inseparable part of Palestine and not a commodity to be bargained over. In an interview with Al Jazeera, he reaffirmed that the Palestinian Resistance would continue its struggle, regardless of attempts to displace its people. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, five Arab countries\u2014Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, and Jordan\u2014have formally rejected Trump\u2019s plan to relocate Gaza\u2019s population. In a letter to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nations emphasized that any reconstruction of Gaza must involve Palestinian participation and international support, rather than displacement. \u00a0<\/p>\n
