Gaza displacement plan – US asked countries to « host » Palestinians

The Palestinian displacement plan by Gaza was admitted by Marco Rubio during his deposition with the Senate. And he argued that the aim of the Israeli military operation is « elements of Hamas ».

The US Secretary of State defended Washington’s stance on Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip and essentially repeated Donald Trump’s plan for the enclave. Without mentioning the phrase « Riviera of the Middle East », which sparked strong reactions, he defended the displacement of civilians.

Marco Rubio told the Foreign Affairs Committee that the US wants the Gaza war to end « with the elimination of Hamas. Because the people of Gaza deserve a peaceful future, with more prosperity, which will never have as much as Hamas. « 

Marco Rubio defended Israel’s operations in Gaza as « Hamas Caps »

The Senators’ questions about the ongoing Israeli military operation, which is stated in its full occupation, was cautious.

Marco Rubio said he does not believe that Israel is leveraging Gaza to keep it forever, ignoring the hundreds of dead.

« It targets Hamas’s elements, » he said. He also attributed Hamas the responsibility for a truce agreement, saying he has been a « obstacle » to multiple agreements in the past. She also said that she bypassed her foreign negotiators, having already reached agreements with the mediators.

‘We’ve talked to countries’

The US Secretary of State also confirmed that Washington has asked countries in the region to accept « temporary » residents of Gaza.

He said that the proposal concerns people who are interested in leaving because of the ongoing war, denying that there is an « displacement » initiative in progress.

Senators asked him if a plan could be voluntary when residents in Gaza are under pressure.

He was emphasized that Tel Aviv has cut off the assistance, he was constantly bombarded and his ministers are committed to being there permanently there.

Camp displaced in Gaza

Marco Rubio reiterated Donald Trump’s arguments: « You don’t want people to stay trapped there … They can live there in the future, but right now they don’t want … We asked the countries when they would be available to accept people. Not as a permanent situation, but as a bridge to rebuild. « 

He denied, however, that if one of the countries approached was Libya. According to reports, the US has stated that Libya will accept one million refugees from Gaza.

It should be noted that so far, there has been no country offered to host Palestinians. Obviously, the fact that Israel refuses to publicly pledge that it will allow those who leave to return.

In addition, government officials in Tel Aviv argue that the plan is for Israel to create settlements in Gaza.

A positive step is help, but…

Israel on Monday allowed five trucks to enter the Gaza, a drop of the real needs ocean, when about 2.3 million residents are threatened with famine. Asked in the Senate, Rubio replied that the US is « satisfied » by the decision. However, they recognize that this help is inadequate.

Humanitarian Truck

But he announced that 100 more trucks- if no more, he said- was going to enter Gaza. Israel has announced that it has allowed 93 trucks to enter.

« Ninety -three UN trucks carrying help, such as bakery flour, baby food, medical materials and medicines, » said Gaza, the competent authority said.
