Iran has launched a fiery condemnation of reported U.S. plans to take control of Gaza and relocate Palestinians, calling it a \"shocking violation\" of international law. The rebuke comes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced intentions to reshape the coastal enclave during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week.
\"This dangerous idea mirrors Israel’s goal to erase Palestinian identity,\" said Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, comparing the proposal to a plot straight out of a dystopian movie . He stressed the plan flouts the UN Charter and fundamental human rights, urging global leaders to \"reject this madness.\"
The controversy has reignited debates about self-determination in Gaza, where 2 million Palestinians face an escalating humanitarian crisis. Baghaei called on the UN to step up and protect Palestinian rights, framing the issue as a \"test of global conscience.\"
As tensions rise, activists worldwide are asking: Could this plan redraw Middle East geopolitics – or spark irreversible consequences?
