Istanbul: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that no strength has the power to evict Palestinians from their motherland. Erdogan said at a press conference at Ataturak Air Port on Sunday before visiting three countries in Asia, “No power can exclude the Gazivas from their ancient motherland. The Gaza, the west coast and the eastern Jerusalem belong to all the Palestinians. Erdogan said, “Despite the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, we are seeing that the Israeli government has more dangerous schemes.” He said, “The suggestions of the new US administration on the issue of Gaza under the pressure of Jayoni lobby have no importance to us.”

According to the report by the news agency Xinhua, on January 4, US President Donald Trump introduced his ‘Gaza Plan’ during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington. Trump said that the United States would capture the Gaza strip devastated by the war and develop it financially after the Palestinians are settled elsewhere. While proposing to develop Gaza, it was clearly stated that the displacement of Palestinians would be permanent. However, it was later clarified in the White House that any displacement from Gaza would be temporary.

Trump once again repeated his views on Truth Social Platform on Thursday. He wrote, “At the end of the fight, Israel will hand over Gaza Patti to the United States.” He also claimed that no American soldier would be needed on the ground to rebuild the region. On January 6, Netanyahu said in an interview with Israeli’s Channel 14, ‘A Palestinian kingdom can be established in Saudi Arabia. They have a lot of land there. The comments of both Trump and Netanyahu have increased the opposition at regional and international levels. Many countries have denied their support for Palestinians out of their motherland and their resolution of two-state.
