Germany
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier strongly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to "take over Gaza" and permanently relocate its Palestinian population to other countries.
Speaking to German media before meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Steinmeier stated that he encountered "disappointment, deep concerns, and in some cases, outright anger" over Trump’s proposal.
He stressed that any sustainable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must guarantee "security for Israel and the right of Palestinians to self-determination."
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed its "firm rejection of any form of violation of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, whether through Israeli settlement policies, land annexation, or efforts to expel Palestinians from their land."
Jordan
Meanwhile, Jordan’s King Abdullah warned of the dangers of attempting to relocate Palestinians, stressing that "any solution must not come at the expense of Jordan’s security and stability, or that of the region."
He also emphasized the importance of "enhancing Arab efforts to support Palestinian resilience on their land, maintaining the ceasefire in Gaza, and strengthening humanitarian response efforts in the region."
Egypt
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty highlighted the urgency of accelerating Gaza’s reconstruction projects, ensuring the distribution of aid, and clearing debris—without relocating the Palestinian population from their homeland.
Oman
Oman’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed its "firm stance and absolute rejection of any attempt to relocate Gaza’s residents and Palestinians from their occupied territories".
The ministry also underscored the importance of "respecting the Palestinian people's legitimate right to establish an independent state on their land.
Oman emphasized that any plan to relocate Palestinians from their homeland "constitutes a blatant violation of international law and UN resolutions, as well as a threat to regional security and stability."
