    Anitta Hipper “Let me recall the European Council's conclusion from 21 March, where the Council is also reiterating its unwavering support to Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. And the last point on these referendums, that were a total sham and [conducted] at gunpoint. When it comes to the discussion on peace talks, our position is very clear, and I would like to reiterate two main points. One, the EU's position for peace is that it is for Ukraine to decide the actual conditions, and the second point that nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.” 11 hours ago

Considerations on Trump's Plan For Gaza

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Considerations on Trump's Plan For Gaza.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Jordan will survive economically if the US cuts aid over its refusal to accept forcibly displaced Palestinians from Gaza. The main pillar of Jordan's foreign policy is to establish a Palestinian state, not American aid. The most important things are intelligence cooperation, military cooperation, the use of military bases by US personnel. There are so many cards Jordan's government can play against the Trump policies. Trump tried to play this against Jordan during his first term when he tried to implement the so-called deal of the century. What's happening now is a continuation of that. The whole concept is to let the Israelis take over all of Palestine.”

“The mere suggestion of relocating two million Gazans is likely to complicate the cease-fire negotiations by making Hamas more cautious, and to destabilize the entire Arab world. Mr. Trump's declaration, he said, is the perfect recipe for recruiting more people to Hamas. Mr. Trump's new colonialism had given Hamas easy marketing tools.”

“I think what he [Donald Trump] did was throw the old checkers board off the table and replaced it with Monopoly. He didn't just change the rules of the game but the game itself. Mr. Trump's vision for a Gaza without Gazans could work as a threat and put significant pressure on Hamas to release more hostages. Conversely it could cause Hamas to walk away from the deal altogether. Mr. Trump is a businessman. He takes risks.”

“Surveys suggest most Israelis support Trump's idea to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza. And of the course, the right in Israel see this as a dream come true - not only in Gaza. [They think that] if they can resettle Gaza, then maybe they can move on and annex the West Bank, maybe push more Palestinians out of the West Bank, and basically fulfil the dream of 'Greater Israel'. And this is very dangerous. And to this, the [growing influence of pro-Israeli] Christian evangelists in the United States, and we are in completely new and uncharted territory.”

“US could already have begun to put its financial leverage over Egypt to use in the first days of the Gaza campaign. Egyptian reports suggest that the US offered financial incentives including debt relief to Egypt in exchange for accepting such a plan, which Sisi allegedly rejected. While the accuracy of these claims is uncertain, their circulation in the Egyptian press likely aims to reaffirm Egypt's long-standing stance on resettlement and rehabilitate Sisi's image as a defender of Palestinian rights. It is worth recalling that [former president and Muslim Brotherhood member] Mohamed Morsi was accused of colluding with Hamas in a land-sale and resettlement deal in the Sinai after being deposed by Sisi in 2013.”

“Any plan involving the mass movement of Palestinians from Gaza would be met with fierce resistance across the Arab world. The Arab states have opposed any idea of any resettlement or de-Palestinisation of Palestine, especially the occupied Palestinian territories - which is also one of the aims of the far-right Israeli parties. And that's been one of the mainstays of the Arab states' policies since 1967 - opposition to any large-scale displacement. Since the late 70s, when the Likud won the elections and became the ruling party for the first time, they always championed this idea that eventually - and this is one of the very early claims of this movement - eventually, Jordan should be the alternative state or homeland of the Palestinians. So any large-scale displacement of Palestinians to Jordan tends to support or validate this claim - that Jordan should be the alternative state of the Palestinians.”

“The Gaza Strip is not a free land for anyone to grab it. Those days in history are gone. Every piece of land in any country belongs to the people who live in this piece of land. Therefore, you know, we are determined to stay in the Gaza Strip.”

“In the search for solutions on Gaza, we must not make the problem worse. It is vital to stay true to the bedrock of international law. It is essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing.”

“Trump's position was not meant as a hostile move. What he's very generously has offered is the ability of the United States to go in and help with debris removal, help with munitions removal, help with reconstruction, the rebuilding homes and businesses and things of this nature so that then people can move back in.”

“The idea of Americans going in on the ground in Gaza is a non starter for every senator. So I would suggest we go back to what we've been trying to do which is destroy Hamas and find a way for the Arab world to take over Gaza and the West Bank, in a fashion that would lead to a Palestinian state that Israel can live with.”

“There's been across-the-board condemnation of [Trump's remarks] in the region. The Jordanian monarch has been very clear, repeatedly saying that Jordan would not allow for [displaced Palestinians to be moved from Gaza to Jordan] and would oppose it on every front. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is here meeting with the Jordanian monarch who is also speaking to other leaders in the region. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have also been very vocal about their opposition [to the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza]. This is something that no Arab leader can be seen to endorse, treating Palestinians as if they have no roots, no connection to the land, no rights to sovereignty and self-determination. It really upends the whole formula for which peace in the region has been sought for so many years. So, there's unnerved leaders in the region trying to figure out how they will act - not just react verbally - to what Trump is trying to do.”

“It would be a moral abomination. International humanitarian law forbids the forced displacement of the population of an occupied territory. When such forced displacement is widespread, it can amount to a war crime or a crime against humanity.”

“Forcing Gazans to leave would be a crime. The scale of such an undertaking, the level of coercion and force required, hence the gravity, make this a straightforward crime against humanity. Even if Mr. Trump's Gaza plan ultimately does not move forward, his attitude toward international law could have serious consequences for U.S. interests around the world. Trump is just casually making major international crimes into policy proposals. He just normalizes violating, or proposing to violate, the absolute bedrock principles of international law.”

“Trump's proposal to push Palestinians out of Gaza is an endorsement of ethnic cleansing and a blatant violation of international law. The US has no right to 'own' Gaza or dictate a future for the Palestinian people. This is not diplomacy and is not in America's interest.”

“I have news for you - we aren't taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.”

“Gaza is not a real estate development project for the United States government to own or take over. Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people. Distracting from the need to initiate political transformation to ensure that Hamas doesn't remain in control is unnecessary and harmful.”

“It would go against all norms and international law. This isn't something that would be permitted to happen. But at this point, you've got to ask yourself if you look at the past year and a half: how much does the international community, including Israel, really care about international law and norms?”

“He's [Donald Trump] essentially saying that, officially US policy now is the destruction of Palestinian society, the scattering of Palestinians to neighboring countries, and on top of that for US to come and own Palestinian territory indefinitely. I don't know what planet we are living on where these statements are coming out of the president of the United States.”
