‘We Will Not Leave’ Say Gazans As Trump Meets With Netanyahu (10810 Views)

Like most Palestinians, Hatem Azzam, a resident of the southern Gaza city of Rafah, was incensed by US President Donald Trump’s remarks suggesting Gazans should relocate to Egypt or Jordan.

Trump thinks Gaza is a pile of garbage — absolutely not,” the 34-year-old said, attacking Trump’s choice of words when he told reporters last week of his plan to “clean out the whole thing”.

Calling him “delusional”, Azzam said that Trump “wants to force Egypt and Jordan to take in migrants, as if they were his personal farm”.

Both Egypt and Jordan have flatly rejected Trump’s idea, as have Gazans and other neighbouring countries.

Azzam’s outrage comes as Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet in Washington later Tuesday and discuss plans for the Palestinian territory ravaged by more than 15 months of war.

Trump and Netanyahu must understand the reality of the Palestinian people and the people of Gaza. This is a people deeply rooted in their land — we will not leave,” Azzam told AFP.

Ihab Ahmed, another Rafah resident, deplored that Trump and Netanyahu “still don’t understand the Palestinian people” and their attachment to the land.

We will remain on this land no matter what. Even if we have to live in tents and on the streets, we will stay rooted in this land,” the 30-year-old said.

Ahmed told AFP that Palestinians had learned lessons from the 1948 war that followed the British mandate, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were chased from their homes at the creation of Israel, and never allowed to return.

The world must understand this message: we will not leave, as happened in 1948.

-‘Owners of this land’-

Standing near crumbling buildings blocks destroyed by war in the northern Gaza city of Jabalia, Raafat Kalob is concerned about the consequences that the Trump-Netanyahu meeting will have on his life.

I expect Netanyahu’s visit to Trump to reflect his future plans to forcibly displace the Palestinian people and redraw the Middle East,” he said.

I sincerely hope this plan does not succeed.

Behind him, rows of tents provided by charity organisations line a patch of land at the foot of concrete buildings whose facades still bear marks of war: bullet holes, blown away windows and facades stripped of their stone finishing.

In Jabalia and Gaza’s north, areas that were particularly hard-hit by the war, displaced Palestinians who returned after a ceasefire took effect on January 19 have taken residence in tents next to their destroyed homes.

Some were nevertheless optimistic, like Majid al-Zebda, a 50-year-old resident of Jabalia.

Trump “will pressure Netanyahu to end this war” permanently, he said.

The first phase of the ceasefire brought a fragile end to fighting in Gaza and started the process of a hostage and prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas, but negotiations have yet to begin for a permanent end to war.

Zebda, a father of six who lost his home in the war, said neither he nor any Gazan would leave the coastal territory.

We are the owners of this land; we have always been here, and will always be. The future is ours,” he said.

Noisemakers grin!!

No one owns any land, it depends on military might/conquest! Lands are like barracks, soldiers go soldiers come but barracks remain!!

Even all of us claiming indigenes of a particular settlement today are offsprings of our forebears, who were immigrants centuries ago..

And about Gaza, I solely Israel and Donald Trump's decision. In other words, I think terrorists whether Islamic or otherwise, would put wisdom into serious consideration when planning to cause mayhem next time..

The world would witness relative peace and prosperity if, and only if there are dire consequences to any decision made...

Most Christians believe the source of their power is Israel that's why they turn blind eyes to the evil being committed. Religion is a very powerful tool to control people .

The acclaimed moral police of the world are openly ing genocide and ethnic cleansing and are blocking ICC judgement but wait till countries like Russia ,China ,Syria, Myanmar or the likes do less than this ,thats when you hear different negative words .

Power rules the world ,not right or wrong .

Ok noted.

If hamas had known that the Oct 7 attack would've ended so disastrously, would they've attacked Israel

Is hamas regretting their actions or still believing they won the war with?

I am a Christian and I condemn the abhorrent October 7 attack in its strongest form.

However, Trump could not forcibly displace millions of people from their ancestral land with an off the cuff remark, said casually. It was an height of injustice which will make Israel less safer.

I was shocked that Netanyahu was grinning from ear to ear despite the fact that Israelis had had similar experience when they were forcibly forced from their land by Hitler.

Trump just said it for the camera, he knew it would never fly

In the scheme of things. Hamas's opinion counts for nothing.

When it's time to leave; Gazans will know.

The Gaza genocide is looming. The Rwandan genocide will be a childs play. The rest of the world either comes together to stop Trump the same way Hitler was stopped or we are going to witness the worst genocide in human history.

Stand your ground Palestinians, and don't let anyone including the "delirious" Trump use style to chase you out of your generational home.

Let Trump concentrate on deporting Nigerians back home, so they can enjoy this milk and honey our President Tinubu gave us

So why then will Egypt and Jordan accept them into their lands? Or is Israel the only country with a sovereignty to protect? Some of you are fundamentally incapable of thinking beyond 2 + 2. Ethnic Germans were forcefully migrated to their ancestral homeland of . Palestine is their ancestral homeland. They're going nowhere.
