Hamas official: Trump’s Gaza relocation plan a ‘recipe for creating chaos’ in Mideast
A senior Hamas official slams Donald Trump’s remarks as a “recipe for creating chaos” in the Middle East after the US president claimed that Palestinians have “no alternative” but to leave Gaza during the Strip’s lengthy reconstruction.
“We consider it a recipe for creating chaos and tension in the region. Our people in the Gaza Strip will not allow these plans to pass. What is required is an end to the occupation and aggression against our people, not their expulsion from their land,” says Sami Abu Zuhri in a statement.
