THE’Europe of nations rejects with disdain The plan of Donald Trump to transform Gaza in a resortprior Expulsion of the Palestinianswhile theEuropean Union chooses the strategic silence To avoid chasing the former US president in a Gorgo infinite of statements.
The first to reject the project of Gaza-sur-Mer was Parisimmediately followed by London And Berlin. The message is clear: Gaza is from Palestinians and the hypothesis of a expropriation by a third stateeven if they were United StatesAnd inadmissible.
International reactions: the no of Europe and the global condemnation
The future of Gaza passes through «a future Palestinian state» – warns the Quai d’Orsay in a note – underlining the “opposition to any forced transfer of the population», Which would represent a serious violation of international law.
The deportation to Jordan and Egyptalready rejected by the two countries, is dangerously approaching the definition of ethnic cleaning. Also the British Foreign Minister David Lammyvisiting Kievsaid that i Palestinians must be able to live and thrive in Gaza and the West Bank. However, he avoided a direct attack on Trump, recognizing that Gaza is in rubble but reiterating British support to Solution of the two States.
The German Foreign Minister Annalena Baertbock It was even more clear: “The civilian population must not be expelled and Gaza must not be occupied or restored permanently”. He then added: “Gaza, like the West Bank and Jerusalem Est, belongs to the Palestinians, since these lands are the basis for a future Palestinian state”.
The silence of the EU and the Trump strategy
Criticisms in Trump do not come only fromEurope: Also Australia, Türkiye, Brazil, Indonesia and China they joined the international conviction. In contrast, the leaders of theEuropean Union have chosen to do not comment officially.
“Our position does not change”said a high EU official, remembering the words of the president of the European Council Antonio Costapronounced during the meeting with the Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa last January 16th.
There is no lack of those who see one in the Trump plan precise strategy: submerge public opinion with increasingly controversial statements, generating confusion and reducing the possibilities of a coordinated reaction. But for Europe the priority remains clear: focus on concrete actions, not on words.
