Hamas calls for global resistance against Trump's plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza
- On Monday, a senior Hamas official, Abu Zuhri, speaking from Cairo, urged supporters worldwide to take up arms against U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to relocate more than two million Gazans to neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan.
- The call to action followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's suggestion a day prior that Hamas leaders could leave Gaza if they disarmed in the final stages of the war, as Israel works towards implementing Trump's plan.
- Trump's plan, initially floated in January and described as a "voluntary migration plan," proposed mass displacement of Gaza's 2.4 million residents and U.S. Takeover for redevelopment, though Trump later appeared to backtrack, stating he was 'not forcing' the relocation and 'nobody's expelling any Palestinians'.
- Hamas has stressed that its weapons are a "red line," while Netanyahu stated Israel would guarantee overall security in Gaza after the war to enable the implementation of Trump's plan.
- Trump's plan has faced widespread condemnation and rejection from Egypt, Jordan, other Arab nations, and Palestinians, with alternative proposals aiming to rebuild Gaza without displacement, while Israel resumed heavy bombing and a ground offensive on March 18 after a nearly two-month ceasefire in the conflict sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack, resulting in at least 50,357 deaths in Gaza and 1,218 in Israel.
