Trump Gaza remarks spark outrage and fears of escalation
Recent comments about taking control of Gaza by US President Donald Trump have sparked widespread condemnation. Palestinians view this as a clear endorsement of ethnic cleansing.
This comes on the heels of an already aggressive US stance, which has long aligned itself with Israeli expansionism, in violation of international law and Palestinian rights.
The looming threat now is Trump's push to annex the West Bank, which could dismantle the Palestinian Authority.
Palestinian leaders must unite through serious negotiations with Hamas to face this existential threat.

For decades the US has portrayed itself as a mediator in the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
However, its actions have often aligned with Israeli policies that expand occupation and intensify oppression of Palestinians.
The US is not a peace guarantor.
It stands as an obstacle to Palestinian Liberation, supporting Israel's push to control Gaza and displace its people.
Trump's disregard for UN resolutions, and silence on the West Bank annexation reveals his support for Israel's far right agenda.

With Trump's return to politics, his rhetoric only deepens fears of a more aggressive US stance on Gaza and the broader Palestinian cause.
This land is ours, and we will never leave it, even with destruction around us.
We prefer to die in our homes than be forced out.

We pray for Gaza and Palestine.
Trump's remarks will fail. The conspiracy against Palestinians has always existed.
We ask, what is our crime?
Palestinian Member of Public 02
For Palestinians, these statements are not just words, they represent a direct threat to their land, their existence, and, their right to self-determination.
As Trump's rhetoric intensifies, Palestinians brace for an uncertain future.
With the US once positioning itself as a Peace broker, many now question whether it will fully abandon all pretense of that role and push for Palestinian displacement.
