00:00Earlier on this week, the U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. would, quote,
00:04take over and own the Gaza Strip.
00:07It sounds a little bit like the White House is backtracking on that.
00:11How does it sound to you?
00:12Well, actually, you know, such a statement is ludicrous because President Trump knows very well
00:19that the previous administrations have accepted the two-state solution,
00:23including Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem.
00:26And here he comes with a crazy proposal of trying to occupy Gaza and turning it into
00:33another Singapore and what have you. So the forcing of Palestinians out of their territory,
00:41in my opinion, could destabilize the entire Middle East region.
00:45He is asking for escalation of conflict. And of course, you know, such an act will basically
00:54mobilize also the entire Arab world, let alone the Islamic world.
00:59The Europeans have expressed their dissatisfaction with such a proposal because they still stick
01:06to their guns on the question of a two-state solution.
01:09So there is no acceptance by this proposal, except the far right wing of Israeli government.
