Gaza Crisis Deepens: Netanyahu Backs Trump's Controversial Relocation Plan
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed support for Donald Trump's contentious proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, increasing tensions over regional stability and humanitarian concerns. As the war intensifies, the United Nations Chief condemned Israel's blockade of essential aid, labeling Gaza a "killing field."
The humanitarian situation has worsened since the resumption of Israeli military operations on March 18, resulting in nearly 1,500 Palestinian fatalities and over 3,600 injuries. The cumulative death toll since the war began has surpassed 50,500. Amidst this turmoil, Netanyahu met with Trump and emphasized the need for relocating Gazans, voicing concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and opposing Turkish military bases in Syria.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres rejected Israel's recent proposal for controlling aid deliveries, asserting that humanitarian principles must be upheld. He criticized the proposed mechanisms as potentially limiting aid, which has not reached the 2.1 million residents of Gaza since March 2. Meanwhile, Hamas officials indicated the necessity of achieving a ceasefire after weeks of bombardment.
In a show of solidarity, French President Emmanuel Macron visited Egypt to highlight the urgency of delivering humanitarian aid. He criticized using such aid as a weapon of war, reinforcing the need for unimpeded access for all aid workers.
As vital supplies remain blocked due to the closure of the Rafah corridor, protests erupted in Cairo against the displacement of Palestinians, reflecting widespread anger over the crisis. The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, underscoring the urgent need for a viable solution to restore peace and support humanitarian efforts.
