Watan-The proposals and plans for displacing Palestinians from their lands, specifically from the Gaza Strip, have been escalating. Gaza has been subjected to brutal Israeli attacks since October 7th of last year.

In this context, Nikki Haley, the potential Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency, suggested resettling the residents of Gaza in other countries, claiming that they are supporters of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas.

Nikki Haley’s proposal came during a televised interview with the American channel ABC, where she defended the idea of resettling Palestinians in other countries.

Haley, the Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential elections, stated, “As I always say, Palestinians in Gaza can cross the Rafah border into Egypt, and from there, they can head to countries that support Hamas, such as Qatar, Iran, and Turkey.”

Egypt does not accept them

In response to the American channel’s inquiry about the possibility of resettling the residents of Gaza in Qatar while being unable to cross into Egypt with their children, Nikki Haley claimed that Egypt does not accept them because it doesn’t know whether they are Hamas militants or not, according to her statement.

Haley asserted that Arab countries always take precautions against the Iranian threat and argued that the world should engage with Turkey, Iran, and Qatar to assist the Palestinians instead of criticizing Israel for its attacks in Gaza.

Israeli officials had previously mentioned plans to relocate over two million Palestinians in Gaza to the Sinai Desert in Egypt.

On several occasions, the United States, along with European and Arab countries, has declared its opposition to the forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other locations.
