Hamas responds to Trump’s suggestion of US takeover in Gaza: ‘crime against humanity’

Terror organization Hamas is reacting to President Donald Trump’s plan to “take over” Gaza and turn it into a United States territory.

During a White House press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, Trump announced the proposal that would leave Palestinians with “no choice but to leave” the region. The logistics of this would be very difficult, as Egypt and Jordan are already on record as having refused to take in the area’s nearly two million residents, who would be displaced under this plan.

On Wednesday, Fox News’s Trey Yingst reported on Hamas’s response to Trump’s statement, ironically calling it a “crime against humanity.”

“What President Trump stated about his intention to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip outside it and the United States’ control over the Strip by force is a crime against humanity, and a reinforcement of the law of the jungle at the international level, and we consider it an interference in a topic which should not be of his concern, and accordingly we emphasize the following,” a senior Hamas official’s statement read.

“First: Over the course of 15 months, the previous administration tried to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip with its unlimited support, especially militarily, for Netanyahu and his fascist government in carrying out genocide against our people, and failed to achieve this goal in the face of our people’s steadfastness and adherence to their homeland. Hence, with the previous administration failing to accomplish, no upcoming administration will succeed in implementing,” it continued.

“Second: Gaza is in urgent need of comprehensive reconstruction plans after the systematic destruction caused by the aggression against it during 15 months, but the problem of reconstruction is not in the presence of the Palestinian people on their land, but rather in the continuation of the Zionist occupation and the stifling siege of the Gaza Strip for more than 17 years with American support.”

“Third: We demand urgent regional and international action to put an end to these malicious plans, because any attempts to implement such plans will destabilize security in the region and beyond,” the terror group added.

“Fourth: We demand that the mediators, especially the United States, oblige the occupation to implement the ceasefire agreement in its three stages without procrastination or manipulation, as we are committed to implementing the agreement as long as the occupation commits to it, and any manipulation in implementing the agreement may cause it to collapse,” the statement concludes.
