Thousands of the Egyptians held a protest against Trump’s initiative to move the Palestinians from Gaza

Thousands of the Egyptians held a demonstration of protest against the initiative of US President Donald Trump to move the Palestinians from the Gaza sector to neighboring countries near the Rafiah checkpoint. Demonstrations in Egypt are rarely held, their holding is limited by the authorities. Earlier, Egyptian President Abd al-Fatta al-Sisi has already expressed his negative attitude to this American initiative.

On Thursday, January 30, at a meeting with journalists in the White House, US President Donald Trump returned to the idea of ​​relocating residents of Gaza to neighboring Arab countries, although the authorities of Egypt and Jordan have already stated that they would not participate in this.

“They will do this. They are going to do it. We do a lot for them, and they will do it,” Trump said.

For the first time, Donald Trump expressed the idea of ​​resettlement of Gaza residents last weekend, talking with journalists aboard the Air Force One. He talked about his vision of how the problem of Gaza should be solved. He talked about the distress of Palestinians in the Gaza sector, about large -scale destruction there and that tens of thousands of inhabitants were left without shelter. He stated that part of the sector’s population should be moved to Arab countries, in particular, to Egypt and Jordan. “Something should happen.-but now it is literally a place of demolition (demolition site). Almost everyone is demolished, and people are dying there … Therefore, I would prefer to enter into relations with some Arab countries and build housing in another place where they Perhaps they will be able to live in the world so that changes occur, ”the media quotes Trump.
