In light of the tense scene and the escalation of Arab and international rejection of US President Donald Trump’s plan to displace the Palestinians, the Palestinians in general and the people of Gaza in particular confirm their absolute rejection of the displacement plan, stressing their adherence to their right to remain on their land.
Thousands of Palestinians who left the Gaza Strip for Egypt are asking when they will return to their homes, more than two weeks after the ceasefire began in the Strip, but they agree to reject Trump’s proposal for mass displacement.
In this context, hundreds of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip participated in a protest today, Friday, rejecting US President Donald Trump’s plan to displace citizens from the Strip and seize it.
Palestinian sources reported that the event was held in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza at the invitation of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, where participants raised banners reading: (Gaza will foil your conspiracies), (We will not leave our land), and (This land only accepts its people).
During the protest, the protesters stressed their absolute rejection of the displacement plan, affirming their adherence to their right to remain on their land.
Hamas leader Abdul Rahman al-Jamal said in a speech: “We say no to the displacement conspiracies, and let the world hear that the Palestinian people are the rightful owners, and that Jerusalem is our city, and our land, and we will not abandon it.” He added: “We are rooted in our land and we will not leave it.”
Al-Jamal recalled that “the Zionist enemy committed massacres with American and Western weapons, and yet the Palestinian people remained in their land,” stressing his confidence that the Palestinians will one day return to their cities and villages from which they were displaced in 1948.
Participants in this event affirm their rejection of the displacement plan, saying: “We will remain in our land, and our people do not accept any Zionist project or any displacement.”
The Palestinians unanimously rejected not only US President Donald Trump’s proposal to transfer the residents of the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Egypt, but also refused to even discuss it.
On February 4, Trump revealed during a press conference with the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, Benjamin Netanyahu, at the White House, his country’s intention to seize Gaza after displacing the Palestinians from it to other countries, including Egypt and Jordan.
Trump’s plan for Gaza was met with widespread Palestinian, Arab and international rejection, while it was met with great praise at the political level of the Zionist enemy entity, including various orientations.
On January 19, a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and a prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and the Zionist enemy entity came into effect. It includes three stages, each lasting 42 days. During the first, prisoners will be exchanged and humanitarian aid will be brought in, while negotiations will begin to start the second and third, with the mediation of Egypt and Qatar and the support of the United States.
Trump proposed evacuating most of Gaza’s population en masse to Egypt and Jordan, but the proposal was widely condemned in the Arab world as a form of ethnic cleansing. “We’re talking about a million and a half people, and we’re cleaning up the whole area,” Trump said. Asked if it was a temporary or long-term solution, he said, “It could be one or the other.”
Egypt says it will never take part in the mass exodus of Palestinians, which President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has called an “injustice.” But there are already about 100,000 Palestinians in Egypt who say they do not know how or when they will be able to return to their homes.
During the Zionist-American war of extermination on Gaza, the borders of the Strip were closed most of the time, which made the vast majority of the population of 2.3 million people homeless, and they were forced to live in temporary shelters inside the Strip.
Although Gazans in Egypt may have different personal plans, they all agreed to reject any proposal by Trump to evacuate large numbers of Palestinians from Gaza.
Today, Friday, the Popular Conference of Palestinians Abroad announced the start of its preparations to hold a mass political conference on Friday and Saturday, April 11 and 12, 2025.
This conference, which bears the slogan “The Palestinian people reject displacement projects and there is no alternative to the right of return,” is being held on the sidelines of the annual session of the General Assembly of the Popular Conference, and at a time when the world, our region, the Palestinian arena in general, and the people of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in particular are witnessing major challenges related to the displacement process, the abandonment of the right of return, and the destruction of UNRWA, which requires national unity and consensus to confront the challenges and devise means to achieve our legitimate rights.
The Popular Congress indicated in its press release that hundreds of members of the General Assembly were invited to attend and participate in the conference, which will be held in person.
In the same context, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said during his participation in the Munich Conference today, Friday: There is work on an Arab proposal based on rebuilding the Gaza Strip without displacing its people. He added: “Achieving permanent and just peace is achieved by ending the occupation and establishing the Palestinian state on Palestinian soil.”
He stressed that “the Palestinians are attached to their land and do not want to leave it, and they want peace”, pointing out that “the Arab countries have contributed to the reconstruction of Gaza more than once.”
Hamas called on Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims to participate in a global movement on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, in rejection of US President Donald Trump’s plans to displace citizens from the Gaza Strip and seize it.
The movement said in a statement last night: “We call on the masses of our people, our Arab and Islamic nation, and the free people of the world, to go out in solidarity marches and events in cities and squares around the world, rejecting the plans to displace our Palestinian people from their land.”
She added: Let the coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday be a global movement against the plans of forced displacement and deportation called for by the occupation and its supporters.
She stressed that these activities represent support and endorsement of his fixed and legitimate rights to defend his land, foremost among which is his right to freedom, independence, self-determination, and liberation from occupation.
Hamas appreciated the international positions in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Between October 7, 2023 and January 19, 2025, the Zionist enemy, with American support, committed genocide in Gaza, leaving about 160,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing, and one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
