The Palestinian Authority has strongly condemned US President Donald Trump's proposal to relocate Gaza residents to Egypt and Jordan, interpreting it as a potential act of ethnic cleansing. Palestinian citizens displayed firm resistance, insisting they would not abandon their homeland despite dire circumstances. Statements from both citizens and the PA emphasized the importance of holding on to their land and rejecting past traumas associated with displacement. They urged the US to uphold ceasefire agreements and support the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state.
"The weak might leave because of the suffering they have endured, but the idea of us leaving our country it's absolutely impossible." - Palestinian citizen Nafiz Halawa from Nuseirat.
"If we wanted to leave, we would have done that a long time ago. The genocidal war they are waging will achieve nothing against the Palestinians and we will remain despite what happens." - Elham al-Shabli.
"The plan constitutes a blatant violation of the red lines we have consistently warned against. We emphasise that the Palestinian people will never abandon their land or their holy sites." - Palestinian Authority statement.
"Our people will remain steadfast and will not leave their homeland... we will not allow the repetition of the catastrophes (Nakba) of 1948 and 1967." - Palestinian Authority statement.
