Germany Rejects Trump’s Proposal to Move Palestinians from Gaza to nearby Countries

Speaking at a press briefing in Berlin, Foreign Ministry spokesman Christian Wagner said that Germany maintains its commitment to the international consensus regarding Gaza's status.

“There is a common position shared by the EU, our Arab partners and the United Nations, which is very clear: The Palestinian population cannot be expelled from Gaza, and Gaza must not be permanently occupied or resettled by 'Israel',” he said.

Wagner added that the G7 group of the world's leading economies, which includes the US, has so far consistently supported this position in multiple joint statements.

“Expulsions from Gaza, and establishing new settlements here is not possible. This is also something that we made very clear during the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Tokyo in 2023. In this respect, I think our position is more than clear,” he told reporters.

Wagner went on saying, “You have probably also taken note of the comments made by the foreign ministers of Egypt and Jordan. In this respect, I would like to point out that for us what is crucial at the moment is the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.”
