Trump Statements are Fascist, Aggressive: Palestinian Factions

Palestinian factions on Sunday strongly condemned statements made by US President Donald Trump concerning the deportation of Gaza’s residents from their homeland.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)

The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine issued a statement strongly condemning Trump’s remarks, describing them as “aggressive and fascist,” and aligning with the most extreme agenda of the Zionist far-right.

The movement characterized the remarks as “an extension of a longstanding policy aimed at erasing the existence, undermining the will, and denying the rights of the Palestinian people,” emphasizing that such remarks “encourage the perpetuation of war crimes and crimes against humanity by forcing our people to abandon their land.”

The Islamic Jihad statement urged nations, particularly the Egyptian and Jordanian governments, to “reject Trump’s plan,” affirming that “our people, through their resilience and resistance, will thwart this plan just as they have overcome many others before.”

Palestinian Resistance Committees

In a statement, the Palestinian Resistance Committees strongly condemned Trump’s statements, which mentioned “transferring parts of the population of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan,” stressing that they are “aggressive, fascist statements that are in line with the plans of ‘Israeli’ criminals in the extremists’ government and the implementation of their Talmudic myths and legends.”

The statement urged the brotherly governments of Egypt and Jordan to reject Trump’s “malicious” remarks and to “stand firmly against the displacement and uprooting plans targeting our people and our cause.”

The Resistance Committees’ statement concluded, “Our message to the criminal enemies of the nation in the American and Zionist administrations is clear: The Zionist-American failure to displace our people, despite thousands of tons of bombs and missiles, will never succeed in imposing any criminal decisions upon them.”

Palestinian Mujahideen Movement

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement declared in a statement that “Trump’s remarks endorse the plans of religious Zionism and its criminal leaders in the enemy government.”

The statement indicated that these statements reflect “the insistence of the new US administration (the Trump administration) to continue the aggression against our people and the displacement plans that include all Palestinian lands and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.”

The statement continued, “What the previous US administration (the Biden administration) failed to achieve—supporting genocide and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people in Gaza—the new administration will not succeed in either. Our people remain steadfast in their land, and their plans will fail.” The statement also called on the Arab and Islamic world to reject Trump’s statements.

DFLP statement

The Democratic Front released a statement as well:

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine denounced in a statement the calls of US President Trump to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Egypt, under the pretext of preventing chaos in the Strip, where destruction is widespread.

The Democratic Front saw Trump’s call to displace the residents of the Strip to Egypt and Jordan as a malicious attempt to exploit the state of mass destruction that is sweeping the Strip, in addition to ignoring “Israels” responsibility for the destruction, and its moral and legal responsibility to bear responsibility for the reconstruction project.

The Democratic Front wondered: Why does Trump propose Jordan and Egypt as a place to displace the people of the Strip, and provide them with shelter for a short or long period, according to him, and ignore the fact that most of the residents of the Strip are refugees who are guaranteed the right to return to their homes from which they were displaced since 1948, and therefore they were supposed to return to their homes and not be subjected to additional displacement campaigns.

The Democratic Front said: Our people in the Gaza Strip are not flocks of sheep, who are being transferred from one place to another, without any consideration for their humanity, and their legitimate national rights, to remain in the Gaza Strip, for the people of the Gaza Strip, and to return to the 1948 lands for the refugees in the Gaza Strip. The Democratic Front warned that Trump’s statements and corrupt calls would constitute a pretext that the “Israeli” enemy would cling to to obstruct its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, under the pretext of the “chaos” that Trump spoke about, and under the pretext of “Israels” alleged security interests. The Democratic Front also warned that Trump’s calls to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Egypt would turn the issue of rebuilding the Gaza Strip into an “Arab-Arab” issue, which would absolve Israel of its responsibility for the destruction of the Gaza Strip, and at the same time absolve the United States of its responsibility in the same context, as it is a partner of Israel that provided it with the mass killing machine throughout 15 months of the genocidal war. In the same context, the Democratic Front condemned Trump’s decision to resume supplying “Israel” with 2,000-pound bombs, and saw it as a green light for the occupying state to continue its aggression against its Arab neighbors, especially brotherly Yemen, whose army and Ansar Allah were included on the terrorism list by Trump.

‘Clean out’ Gaza: Trump

Earlier today, Trump suggested a controversial plan to “just clean out” Gaza through the mass expulsion of its population to neighboring Egypt and Jordan, framing the proposal as a step toward “Middle East peace.”

Labeling Gaza a “demolition site” in the aftermath of the Zionist genocide, Trump revealed he had discussed the idea with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and planned further talks with Egypt’s leadership.

“I’d like Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

He estimated that “probably a million and a half people” could be moved, adding, “We just clean out that whole thing. You know, over the centuries it’s had many, many conflicts, that site. And I don’t know, something has to happen.”

Trump suggested “the relocations” could be temporary or potentially permanent. “It’s literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there,” he remarked.

Proposing collaboration with Arab nations, Trump said, “I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
