The United Arab Emirates on Wednesday rejected any attempts to displace Palestinians after US President Donald Trump proposed taking over the Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Wednesday, the foreign ministry emphasised its categorical rejection of any infringement on the Palestinians’ unalienable rights and any attempts at displacement.

Recall that Trump has said that the US will take over the Gaza Strip to level it and rebuild the area.

Trump’s proposal, which was announced during a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, sparked criticism from around the world, including close US allies Britain and France.

“The UAE underscored the importance of finding a serious political horizon to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and establish an independent Palestinian state, reflecting the UAE’s belief that regional stability can only be attained through the two-state solution,” the statement said.
