France finds any forced relocation of Gaza residents unacceptable
On Tuesday, January 29, France announced that any forced relocation of Gaza residents is unacceptable
These statements were made in response to a proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting the relocation of Gaza Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan
The French Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that such an action not only constitutes a serious violation of international law but also poses a significant obstacle to the realization of the two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. He also warned that this plan could be destabilizing for France’s close allies, Egypt and Jordan
On Monday, Trump announced that he would like to move Palestinians from Gaza to safer places like Egypt or Jordan
Qatar, which played a role in mediating a ceasefire alongside the United States and Egypt, stressed on Tuesday that the two-state solution is the only path forward. Egypt and Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, have also strongly opposed Trump’s proposal
