The US president\u2019s bid to relocate Palestinians is meaningless and politically motivated, according to the Turkish leader<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has denounced US President Donald Trump\u2019s proposal to take control of Gaza, calling it a meaningless plan pushed by the \u201cZionist lobby.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump floated the idea of the US owning the Palestinian enclave last week at a press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He reiterated his previous call to relocate the Palestinians outside Gaza, shifting the burden onto neighboring countries.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Erdogan expressed Ankara\u2019s firm opposition to any plan that would forcibly expel the Palestinian population from their homeland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposals put forward by the new American administration regarding Gaza with the pressure of the Zionist lobby have nothing worth considering or discussing,\u201d<\/em> Erdogan told a news conference at Istanbul Airport before flying to Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s plan proposes transforming Gaza into what he describes as \u201cthe Riviera of the Middle East.\u201d<\/em> Under the plan, displaced Palestinians would first relocate to Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab countries, with some eventually resettling in the newly developed area. Netanyahu has voiced support for the proposal, calling it the \u201cfirst good idea\u201d<\/em> he has heard concerning the region\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Erdogan described the idea as \u201ccompletely futile.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u201cNo one has the power to remove the people of Gaza from their eternal homeland that has been around for thousands of years. Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem belong to the Palestinians,\u201d<\/em> he argued.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye has been one of Israel\u2019s most vocal critics throughout the Gaza conflict. In May, Erdogan severed trade ties with the Jewish state in response to the war, which he has consistently compared to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s initiative has been strongly opposed by key regional players, with Jordan, Egypt, the Arab League, and Hamas all rejecting it. Global powers, including Germany, France, Brazil, Russia, and China, have also condemned the displacement proposal.<\/p>\n

Opponents of the plan argue that forced relocation would violate international law, with human rights groups calling it \u201cethnic cleansing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite the criticism, Trump is reportedly pressing forward with diplomatic talks, seeking input from Arab leaders to refine his approach.<\/p>\n

Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Fox News on Sunday that the US president is set to meet with key Arab leaders, including the king of Jordan, the president of Egypt, and potentially the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, to negotiate the relocation of Palestinians.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia\u2019s Foreign Ministry earlier strongly rejected the proposal, arguing that Palestinians are the rightful owners of their land, not \u201cintruders\u201d<\/em> or \u201cimmigrants\u201d<\/em> who can be expelled at the will of the \u201cIsraeli occupation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
