Macron criticizes Trump plan: 2 million Palestinians cannot be asked to leave Gaza
Wednesday, February 12, 2025Macron stressed, in an interview with the American network "CNN", that the solution to Gaza "cannot be through a real estate deal, but rather the best way is through a political process," so that "two million Palestinians cannot be asked to leave the Strip."
Macron stressed, in the interview conducted by "CNN" last Thursday (published on Tuesday), the need to maintain the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and resume the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, expressing his "respect for the Palestinians' desire to have their own independent state."
Two days ago, the US president said he was "thinking of the Gaza Strip as a real estate deal," saying he would "own this land and keep the Strip for himself." Trump added on Monday that "the Palestinians will not have the right to return under the Gaza Strip control plan," claiming that they would "get much better housing."
It should be noted that French leaders, including former leaders, have expressed serious concerns about the way the war in Gaza was carried out, criticizing the deliberate killing of women and babies; a war they considered to impact the standing of their country and the West in general.
