(Washington = Yonhap News) Correspondent Joon-hyung Cho = The U.S. government criticized remarks by Israeli far-right politicians calling for the settlement of Israelis in the Gaza Strip and the need for local Palestinians to move abroad as “inflammatory and irresponsible.”
U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement on the 2nd (local time) that he was “rejecting” the remarks made by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gbir. It was clear.
Spokesperson Miller emphasized, “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 stop immediately.”
He continued, “We (the United States) are 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.” “It has been revealed consistently and clearly,” he said.
He added, “That is the future we pursue for the benefit of Israel and Palestine, the surrounding region, and the world.”
The United States’ current position is interpreted as a reaffirmation of its opposition to Israel’s reoccupation in relation to 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, a Palestinian autonomous region, once the war between Israel and Hamas ends, and that Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip should be encouraged to resettle in other countries. did.
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, according to a peace agreement, Israel gave up the remaining Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and withdrew its citizens and troops.
