Hamas called Trump's words on Gaza a recipe for creating chaos and tension
The Palestinian radical movement Hamas considers US President Donald Trump's statement on the Gaza Strip as a recipe for creating chaos and tension in the region. This follows a statement by Sami Abu Zuhri, a member of the movement's leadership, on Tuesday, February 4.
"We consider unacceptable Trump's statements saying, 'There is no alternative but to leave the Gaza Strip for the residents of the Gaza Strip.' We consider them a recipe for creating chaos and tension in the region," Zuhri was quoted as saying by Qatari TV channel Al Jazeera.
He added that he believes the people of Gaza will not allow the plans to come to fruition.
Earlier in the day, Trump proposed resettling refugees from the Gaza Strip to more livable places. Trump told reporters that a hypothetical Palestinian resettlement could take place in Egypt or Jordan, two countries that have repeatedly rejected the idea of accepting more Palestinian refugees, or to "other places" that "could be very beautiful, safe and nice."
On this day, WP revealed details of the upcoming meeting between Netanyahu and Trump. The Israeli prime minister's visit to the US is reportedly to take the form of a "series of business talks" in which he will discuss with top US officials the Gaza ceasefire, as well as a number of other regional conflicts that Trump would like to "resolve or mitigate."
Earlier, on February 1, Netanyahu intends to announce his desire to fly out to meet with Trump. The Israeli prime minister's office indicated that Netanyahu had agreed with Trump's special envoy for the Middle East to begin talks on the second phase of the Gaza deal in the United States on Feb. 3.
The situation in the Middle East escalated on the morning of October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a massive rocket attack from the Gaza Strip into Israel. On the same day, Israel began retaliatory strikes.
