In a dangerous escalation of the United States' unconditional support for the Zionist occupation state and war criminal Netanyahu in his war of genocide against Gaza and the Palestinian people, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a plan for the direct occupation of the Gaza Strip, imposing "permanent ownership" over it, and forcibly displacing two million Palestinians from the area.
This new crime against humanity, targeting the Palestinian people through forced displacement and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, will only deepen the tragedies caused by Israel’s war of genocide and its war crimes. It also exposes the Trump administration’s determination to proceed with implementing the so-called "New Middle East" project, as well as its blatant support for Netanyahu’s plan to "redraw the region’s map." This includes resuming normalization agreements between Israel and Arab states, primarily Saudi Arabia, while expanding Zionist colonial settlement in the West Bank and threatening to annex parts of it to Israel.
This criminal plan will only further inflame the already volatile situation in the Middle East. There can be no peace or security in the region without ending the Zionist occupation and enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their right to self-determination in accordance with international legitimacy, by establishing their independent national state on their homeland, with Jerusalem as its capital.
The Iraqi Communist Party strongly condemns the forced displacement and ethnic cleansing plans announced by the U.S. administration. It also salutes the positions of regional countries and many nations worldwide that have rejected these plans. The Party calls on Palestinian national forces to strengthen their unity and end internal divisions, as this is an urgent and decisive requirement to thwart the conspiracy of displacement and ensure the victory of the Palestinian people’s just cause.
