Hamas has sharply criticized former President Donald Trump for his recent statements about taking over Gaza.

The news emerges after remarks from Trump suggesting that the US should take full control of Gaza, relocating the Palestinian people to other regions, igniting disapproval and concern globally.

The proposal didn’t sit well with many, especially in Arab countries, who viewed his comments as a violation of human rights and unjustified.

Gaza has remained a focal point of international attention following the severe turmoil that erupted on October 7, 2023.

Despite appeals for a ceasefire, Trump, standing alongside Israel’s Prime Minister, shared his vision for the future of Gaza. He stated that he has a clear plan, claiming he could ensure the area is safely cleared of unexploded ordnances and rebuilt.

His plans also included aims to demolish damaged infrastructure, creating opportunities for jobs and new housing developments.

In response, a spokesperson for Hamas firmly dismissed these claims. They emphasized that Hamas and the residents of Gaza would never accept US intervention.

The spokesperson underlined that the residents should resist such measures, focusing on halting the ongoing occupation and aggression, rather than introducing new challenges. He reminded Trump that Hamas has maintained governance over Gaza for the last 15 years.
