Afrasianet - International rejection and condemnation of US President Donald Trump 's proposal for US control of the Gaza Strip after emptying it of its Palestinian population and displacing them to other countries continues.
Here are the latest reactions to Trump's proposal:
United Nations
The United Nations reiterated its rejection of Trump's plan, saying that "any forced displacement of people is equivalent to ethnic cleansing."
Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, quoted U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as saying: "When looking for solutions, we must not make the problem worse."
"It is essential that we adhere to the fundamentals of international law, and it is important to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing," Dujarric said, responding to a question about Trump's Gaza plan.
Dujarric said Guterres would reaffirm the UN's commitment to a two-state solution.
Germany
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stressed that peace in the Middle East requires a negotiated solution based on the principle of two states.
Baerbock said Gaza, as with the West Bank and East Jerusalem, was "Palestinian territory", warning that forcibly expelling civilians was a violation of international humanitarian law and spreading more hatred.
The United Nations, the European Union and the Group of Seven have consistently opposed the construction of Israeli settlements.
France
The French Foreign Ministry stressed in a statement that the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law and represents an obstacle to achieving the two-state solution.
The ministry added that Gaza's future must be part of a future Palestinian state under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority, warning of destabilizing the region if Trump's plans are implemented.
Britain
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said that Palestinians in Gaza should be allowed to return to their homes and rebuild their lives.
In his remarks to the British House of Commons, Starmer stressed the need for the international community to support the Palestinians in these efforts within the framework of the two-state solution.
Spain
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares strongly rejected the idea of US control over Gaza, saying that "Gaza is the land of the Palestinians, and they must stay in it."
Albares reiterated Spain's commitment to supporting the establishment of a future Palestinian state that includes Gaza as part of its territory.
Poland
Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Schina stressed the importance of Palestinian participation in the peace process and his support for the two-state solution.
"As in the case of Ukraine, where we say that decisions cannot be made without the Ukrainians, the same applies to Palestine, decisions cannot be made about Palestine without the Palestinians," he said.
Slovenia
Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Faiyun has criticized Trump's plans for Gaza, calling them a deep ignorance of the history of the Palestinian people.
Faillon stressed in press statements during a visit to Lebanon that these proposals may increase unrest and violence, noting the Palestinians' complete rejection of the idea of forced displacement from their homeland.
Scotland
Scottish First Minister John Sweeney has described any talk of Palestinian displacement as "unacceptable and dangerous".
Sweeney stressed that the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza should not be exacerbated by displacement plans, especially after the difficult months that have seen escalating violence and significant loss of life.
Belgium
The Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed via platform "X" that the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
Stabilizing the Middle East requires full adherence to international law and the implementation of the two-state solution.
Belgium also expressed support for mediation efforts led by the United States, Qatar and Egypt to ensure the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
Switzerland
The Swiss Foreign Ministry said it was closely following the statements of foreign governments, especially the new US administration, on international issues.
The ministry said Switzerland's position on the two-state solution was well known and had been repeatedly expressed.
Colombia
Colombian President Gustavo Pietro has sharply criticized US President Donald Trump's plan to seize the Gaza Strip and displace Palestinians to neighboring countries.
"They will start the worst wars, because they consider themselves God's people, but God's people are not white Americans or Israelis, God's people are humanity," Petro said in a post on X.
Iran
Iran's Foreign Ministry has rejected what it called a "shocking" plan by US President Donald Trump to take control of Gaza and forcibly "displace" Palestinians from the territory.
Ministry spokesman Ismail Baqaei said that "the plan to evacuate Gaza and forcibly displace the Palestinian people to neighboring countries is a continuation of the Zionist entity's plan aimed at the complete annihilation of the Palestinian nation, and it is categorically rejected and condemned."
Malaysia
The Malaysian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that any proposal for the forced displacement of Palestinians would constitute ethnic cleansing and a violation of international law, considering that such inhumane acts constitute ethnic cleansing and represent clear violations of international law and United Nations resolutions.
The ministry said it supports the two-state solution as the path to lasting peace and stability.
U.S. Congress
Two members of the US Congress criticized Trump's plans to seize the Gaza Strip, because they threaten the security of the United States and endanger its soldiers.
Republican Senator Rand Paul said on platform X that the pursuit of peace must be between Israelis and Palestinians.
"I thought we voted for the America-First principle (which Trump used as his campaign slogan), we have no interest in engaging in another occupation adventure that wastes our resources and sheds the blood of our soldiers," Paul said.
Democratic Representative Pete Aguilar said Trump's plans for Gaza were "not a deliberate strategy."
"It's very clear that what the president has talked about will make our country less safe, the invasion of Gaza by U.S. forces will not make Americans safer, it will make them a target," Aguilar told reporters.
Aguilar scoffed at Trump's plan, saying: "I'm going to make a bold guess: The president's plans include hotels, resorts and casinos, that's his nature, but that's not a strategy that will protect the security of Americans or reduce Defense Department expenses."
Since January 25, Trump has been promoting a plan to displace Palestinians in Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which both countries have rejected, and other Arab countries and regional and international organizations have joined them.
Trump did not rule out the possibility of deploying US troops to support Gaza's reconstruction, predicting that the United States would have a "long-term ownership" in Gaza.
