Benyamin Netanyahu judges Donald Trump’s plan for “revolutionary” Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu described on Sunday “revolutionary” the proposal of the American president Donald Trump providing for American control of the Gaza Strip and the trip of the Palestinians, displaying a triumphant tone in front of his cabinet after his return from Washington.
Despite the entry into force of a truce between Israel and Hamas on January 19 in the Palestinian territory devastated by 16 months of conflict, triggered by the attack on the Islamist movement on Israeli soil on October 7, 2023, the diplomatic tensions are lively in the post-war period.
Donald Trump’s recent announcement of a project to take control of Gaza by the United States and a displacement of its population to Egypt or Jordan has aroused a wave of convictions in the world and made a blow to The already fragile ceasefire agreement.
While certain Arab countries hostile to any forced displacement of Gazaouis try to coordinate to provide a common American answer, Mr. Netanyahu seemed to suggest Thursday in an interview that a Palestinian State could be established on Saudi territory, arousing the anger of Ryad.
Germany, Türkiye … The convictions of Donald Trump’s plan multiply
The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described on Sunday “scandal” the proposal of the American president Donald Trump providing in particular an American control of the Gaza Strip and the displacement of the Palestinians. “Population displacement is unacceptable and contrary to international law,” added Olaf Scholz during a television duel opponent before the German legislative elections on February 23 and his conservative rival Friedrich Merz. The latter abounded in this direction: “I share this appreciation,” said the head of the opposition.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that no one had the power to expel the Gazaouis from their territory devastated by the war, rejecting the plan of his American counterpart Donald Trump who aims to expel the Palestinians and to Let the United States take control of it.
“No one has the power to move the inhabitants of Gaza out of their eternal homeland that has existed for thousands of years,” he said at a press conference in the evening at the airport of Istanbul, before flying to Malaysia. “Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem belong to the Palestinians,” he said.
Israeli attacks in the West Bank give three dead
The Palestinian Ministry of Health has announced that Israeli forces had killed three people on Sunday, including an eight -month -old pregnant woman, in an occupied West Bank, the Israeli army claiming to have “targeted terrorists” in the sector.

Sunday evening, the Ministry of Health reported a third victim, Iyas Adli Fakhri al-Akhras, a 20-year-old Palestinian, killed “after being killed by Israeli forces” in the camp. The Israeli army told AFP that it examined these allegations.

At least 70 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, occupied by Israel since 1967, since the start of the year, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The violence exploded there since the start of the war in Gaza launched by the attack on Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023.
In the Gaza Strip, the fragile ceasefire holds
The Israeli army completed its withdrawal from the Netzarim corridor on Sunday, which cuts the Gaza Strip in two, allowing free movement between the north and the south of the territory as part of the fragile truce agreement with Hamas.
As soon as the Israeli removal was announced, endless lines of cars, trucks and carts overloaded with luggage were formed in both directions, in the middle of a landscape of ruins.
In the aftermath of a fifth exchange between Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, an AFP journalist present on the scene confirmed that Israeli forces had withdrew from this corridor, established in December 2023, whose reopening was already in late January Allowed hundreds of thousands of displaced people to return to the north of the territory.
On Saturday, a senior Hamas official told AFP that Israel had to withdraw from this passage after the fifth exchange, under the terms of the truce agreement in force since January 19 for a first phase of six weeks.
