Trump Says Palestinians Should Not Return to Gaza

WASHINGTON, D.C.

n

Former President Donald Trump ignited controversy Tuesday evening, stating Palestinians should not be allowed to return to Gaza. Trump made the remarks during an interview on CNN, where he discussed ongoing tensions in the Middle East. His comments drew immediate criticism from Palestinian officials and international organizations.

Trump’s statement comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Palestine, with recent escalations leading to increased violence and civilian casualties. The former president’s stance appears to disregard international calls for a peaceful resolution and the fundamental rights of Palestinian refugees.

Palestinian officials condemned Trump’s remarks, accusing him of promoting harmful rhetoric that perpetuates discrimination and undermines peace efforts. Human rights groups expressed deep concern, arguing that Trump’s statement risks further marginalizing Palestinians and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The international community has consistently advocated for a two-state solution, with Palestinians and Israelis living peacefully side-by-side. Trump’s comments appear to contradict this goal, raising fears that his rhetoric could further divide the region and hinder progress towards lasting peace.
