(Washington = Yonhap News) Correspondent Joon-hyung Cho = The US government has criticized statements by far-right Israeli politicians calling for the settlement of Israelis in the Gaza Strip and the need for local Palestinians to move abroad calling them “inflammatory and irresponsible”.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said on the 2nd (local time) that he “rejects” the statements of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gbir.
Spokesman Miller stressed: “We have repeatedly heard from members of the Israeli government, including the prime minister, that such comments do not reflect the policies of the Israeli government” and added: “Such comments must cease immediately.”
He continued: “We (the United States) are very clear that the Gaza Strip is Palestinian land and will remain Palestinian land, that Hamas no longer controls the future of the Gaza Strip, and that no terrorist group can threaten Israel.” been revealed consistently and clearly,” she said.
He added: “This is the future we pursue for the benefit of Israel and Palestine, the surrounding region and the world.”
The current position of the United States is interpreted as a reaffirmation of its opposition to reoccupation by Israel regarding the future of the Gaza Strip after the Israel-Hamas war.
On the 31st of last month, far-right minister Smotrich and others argued that Jewish settlers should return to the Gaza Strip, an autonomous Palestinian region, once the war between Israel and Hamas ends, and that Palestinians living in the Strip people from Gaza should be encouraged to move to other countries.
Israel occupied the Gaza Strip in 1967 during the Third Middle East War, but temporary autonomy for Palestine began in 1994 with the signing of the Oslo Agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1993.
In 2005, under a peace agreement, Israel renounced the remaining Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and withdrew its citizens and troops.
