Trump Declares No Plans to Displace Palestinians from Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict

Trump Declares No Plans to Displace Palestinians from Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict

U.S. President's remarks come as regional leaders discuss humanitarian efforts and political solutions.
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that there are no intentions to displace the residents of Gaza, addressing the issue during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin at the White House.

Trump emphasized, "No one is going to be thrown out of Gaza." This declaration coincides with ongoing tensions in the region and calls for peace.

In his opening remarks, Martin reiterated the need for a cease-fire in Gaza, expressing a desire for peace and the release of hostages.

He highlighted the necessity of delivering humanitarian aid to the affected areas, underscoring the urgency of addressing the situation.

Following Trump's statements, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasim welcomed what appeared to be a retraction from the U.S. President regarding proposals for the displacement of the Gaza population.

Qasim urged Trump to refrain from aligning with the views of extremist right-wing factions in Israel.

In a parallel development, foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and Jordan, along with the UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and the Secretary-General of the Palestine Liberation Organization, convened in Doha to discuss the situation in Gaza and the broader region.

The meeting included U.S. Middle East envoy Stephen Wittenfeld, focusing on the latest developments.

The ministers presented a reconstruction plan for Gaza, initially approved at the Arab League summit in Cairo and further endorsed at an extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Jeddah.

They emphasized the critical importance of establishing a cease-fire in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories and reiterated the need for a genuine effort toward a comprehensive and just peace based on a two-state solution, which would ensure the Palestinian people’s aspirations for freedom and independence are met.

The Arab ministers expressed their commitment to ongoing dialogue to strengthen ceasefire efforts and collaborate towards establishing security, stability, and peace in the region through intensified diplomatic endeavors and coordination with international and regional stakeholders.

Additionally, President Trump announced that American negotiators would immediately travel to Russia, as Washington seeks Moscow's acceptance of a proposed thirty-day cease-fire in Ukraine, following discussions with Ukrainian representatives in Saudi Arabia.

Trump expressed hope that Russian President Vladimir Putin would agree to the cease-fire proposal.

During the meeting with Martin, Trump reiterated his stance on tariffs, justifying their implementation and asserting that the U.S. would no longer tolerate mistreatment by its trade partners.

He reminded attendees that reciprocal tariffs would take effect on April 2, as previously announced.

Trump also affirmed his resolve to respond to the tariffs imposed by the European Union in retaliation for U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum.

When asked about potential responses to Brussels’ actions, Trump confirmed, "Of course we will respond," reiterating his claim that the EU was formed to take advantage of the United States.

Confident in the U.S. position, Trump expressed his belief that the nation would "win" the ongoing trade war with the EU, amid reciprocal tariff measures.
