My dear, sweet country, Gaza.. Children sing for joy at their return to the northern Gaza Strip
While a child was holding a tambourine and beating In joy at their return to the northern Gaza Strip, the Palestinian children sang: My dear, sweet country, oh Gaza, land of glory, and land of pride… Gaza, oh Gaza… my country, oh My country.. Gaza, oh Gaza.
The scene was majestic, fulfilling the dreams of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Zionist Prime Minister of occupied Palestine, when he said: We will change the Middle East by displacing the residents of the Gaza Strip. To leave their country and eliminate the right of the Palestinians to live on their lands. 15 months have passed of pain and blood in a war of extermination committed by a ruthless and well-funded military arsenal. One of the greatest powers on the ground is the United States of America, but with the effort and determination of the Palestinian resistance with all its factions, the Israeli plan was broken forever.
What is happening today, Monday, is a majestic scene as the people of Gaza return to the ruins. Their cities and villages in the northern Gaza Strip confirm the saying of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat: “The people of the mighty,” when he described the heroic Mujahid Palestinian people. What is happening today makes the dream of return since the first displacement after the establishment of the Palestinian entity, in 1948, a dream that is not far-fetched and will be achieved one day as long as the Palestinians cling to the land, generation after generation, as the crime of displacing the Palestinians at the hands of the Zionists from their original homeland “Palestine” was not a crime. The result of current events or the recent Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023 until now. Rather, it is an extended crime in the history of the Zionist movement, which began before the establishment of the Israeli occupation state and its obtaining international recognition.

In light of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the crime of displacement has returned to the forefront, as former US President Donald Trump’s proposal to deport large numbers of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, with the aim of expelling its entire population, which sparked widespread controversy and great rejection by US allies in The region.
Lawyers and activists considered this proposal dangerous, illegal and unenforceable, while The Guardian described it as a war crime.
Trump, during In his statements to reporters on board the presidential plane, he indicated his desire to transfer hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to neighboring countries, either temporarily or permanently.
He said: “I prefer to work with some Arab countries to build housing in new locations where these people can live in peace.” We are talking about at least a million and a half people, and we can simply cleanse the sector completely and say: It is over.”
Both Egypt and Jordan made it clear They categorically rejected this proposal, due to its serious consequences for the Palestinian issue.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs confirmed Jordanian Ayman Al-Safadi’s position rejects any attempts to displace Palestinians from Gaza, describing this position as “firm and resolute.”
Inside the Gaza Strip, reports showed that the residents of Gaza, who… They have lived through more than 15 months of continuous fighting, and do not show any desire to leave their homeland, either temporarily or permanently.
And on Sunday, they headed Thousands of people reached Israeli checkpoints, hoping to return to their homes in the northern Gaza Strip, under the terms of a temporary ceasefire, but Israel prevented them from crossing, accusing Hamas of violating the agreement.
Hassan Jabareen, director of the “Adalah” organization, described… For Palestinian human rights, Trump proposed that the war continue in another form, considering that “cleansing” Gaza represents ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
The idea of mobilizing the Palestinians began in Zionist and American studies and proposals, and developed into plans and projects presented at international conferences, such as the “Herzliya” conference. ;, in which American and international officials participated, where the idea of finding an alternative homeland for the Palestinians was discussed as a solution to ending Their case.
Defeating the will of the occupation…the dream of displacement:
Historically, this proposal brought to mind memories of the Nakba in 1948, when about 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from Their homeland With the establishment of Israel, at that time, many believed that the exodus would be temporary, and kept the keys to their homes in the hope of returning one day. What.
False claims:
Therefore, any proposal for reconstruction outside Gaza will face significant skepticism, due to the long history of forced displacement to which Palestinians have been subjected.
False claims: p>
Well-thought-out plans:
The idea of displacement was not just passing thoughts, but was discussed in the councils of the Zionist movement from its beginnings.
It was suggested These plans displace Palestinians to distant regions such as Sinai, Jordan, Iraq, Libya, and even distant countries such as Argentina. The Zionist movement sought to pressure Western powers, especially Britain, to support these plans and push the Arab countries to accept them.
This is evidenced by the 1937 partition project for Palestine, which proposed the deportation of the Arab population from areas designated for Jews.
Among the most prominent of these plans was the Yigal Allon plan in 1967, which was proposed after the Six-Day War. The plan sought to strengthen Israeli control over the Jordan Valley, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, while displacing the Strip’s population to Sinai. Although this plan was opposed by broad sectors inside and outside Israel, it remained part of the Israeli Labor Party’s vision for resolving the conflict.
In 1970, Ariel Sharon tried to implement the plan. To empty the Gaza Strip of its population.
The plan included transporting Palestinian families to areas such as Sinai, in addition to providing financial incentives and travel permits to encourage Palestinians to leave the Strip. However, these attempts faced great difficulties, and did not fully achieve their goals.
By 2004, Israeli National Security Advisor Giora Eiland proposed a plan that included expanding the Gaza Strip by annexing lands from Sinai with an area of 720 square kilometers, with Egypt compensating with lands in the Negev.
The plan aimed to reduce the population density in Gaza, but it was met with Egyptian rejection.
In 2013, Joshua Ben Ariyeh presented a project aimed at establishing a Palestinian state in Sinai. The project focused on creating a large city that includes Palestinians, with advanced infrastructure that includes a seaport and energy and water desalination projects. Despite these proposals, the plan was not implemented due to continued Egyptian opposition.
In 2023, the idea of displacement returned strongly to the scene. A secret document issued by the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence revealed a three-stage plan to displace Gazans to Sinai. The plan included setting up tent cities, then establishing resettlement areas that would prevent refugees from returning to the Strip. The “Misgav” Institute also published A study calls for exploiting the current war to achieve the final displacement of the population of Gaza, with a proposal to settle them in Egyptian cities such as the 6th of October and the 10th of Ramadan.
These plans indicate that the Israeli goal is not Only temporary displacement, but the complete liquidation of the Palestinian cause. Despite international pressure, the Palestinian people and Egyptian society remained steadfast in rejecting these plans, stressing that the Palestinian issue will remain the focus of an ongoing struggle against liquidation attempts.
The “Statistics Authority” explained: Despite the displacement of about one million Palestinians in 1948 and more than 200,000 Palestinians after the June 1967 war, the total number of Palestinians in the world reached 14.63 million. population at the end of 2023. Today, 5 million and 500 thousand of them reside in Palestine.
The Palestinians in the Arab countries amounted to about 6 million and 560 thousand, and about 772 thousand in the countries Thus, the number of Palestinians in their homeland reached approximately 7 million and 300 thousand, while the number of Jews is estimated at approximately 7 million and 200 thousand by the end of the year. 2023, which means that the number of Palestinians exceeds the number of Jews in Palestine.
