France considers 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 U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Gaza Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan
The spokesperson for the French Foreign Ministry emphasized that such an action not only constitutes a serious violation of international law but also poses a significant obstacle to achieving a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. He also warned that this plan could be a destabilizing factor for France’s close allies, Egypt and Jordan
On Monday, Trump announced that he would like to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to safer places like Egypt or Jordan
Qatar, which played a role in mediating the ceasefire along with the United States and Egypt, emphasized on Tuesday that the two-state solution is the only way forward. Egypt and Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority, have also strongly opposed Trump’s proposal
