Displacing Palestinians from Gaza “imaginary”- Lebanon PM
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on February 12th that calls to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza and relocate them to Egypt and Jordan are “imaginary,” the Middle East Monitor reported.
US President Donald Trump has more than once called for the US to take over Gaza and displace Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan, a proposal extensively rejected by Palestinians and Arab leaders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said last week that Palestinians should have a state in Saudi Arabia instead of their homeland, rejecting the idea of Palestinian independence.
Salam told Lebanese state television: “I find this talk outrageous.”
