France goes against Trump proposal for Gaza control, Palestinians' shift

France on Wednesday rejected US President Donald Trump's comments, which suggested that the United States could take control of Gaza and Palestinians could move elsewhere, saying that such a thing would distort international law and destabilise the region.

“The repeated support of its opposition to any shift in the Palestinian population of Gaza, which could constitute serious violations of international law, attacks on legitimate Palestinian aspirations, but also major obstacles to two states' solution and a destabilising factor for our close partners Egypt and Jordan, as well as for the entire region” ) said in a statement French Foreign Ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine, news agency reports “.

He added that Gaza's future should be in the context of a future Palestinian state and that it should not be controlled by a third country.
