German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated on Wednesday that the Gaza Strip “belongs to the Palestinians,” in response to President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the United States should take control of the territory.
She emphasized that the forced displacement of Gaza’s civilian population would be “unacceptable and contrary to international law,” and would lead to further suffering and resentment.

Baerbock affirmed that Gaza, along with the West Bank and East Jerusalem, is part of Palestinian territory, which forms the basis for a future Palestinian state.
She reiterated that a two-state solution remains the “only” path to peace.
Trump had proposed to “take over” Gaza during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, without providing specifics on how he would manage the displacement of over two million Palestinians or control the region.
Baerbock also acknowledged the shocking scale of destruction in Gaza and stressed that Europe is ready to work with the U.S. and regional partners to help rebuild.
However, she emphasized that Hamas, the militant group responsible for triggering the conflict, must no longer have a role in Gaza’s future.

*”American presidents are being held by the jugular by Netanyahu, making them make decisions that negatively affect Palestinians and the rest of the world. George Bush, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump went to war against Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan and attacked Iran, reportedly at the prompt of Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders. It’s really absurd that the US can destroy the world institutions it helped build just to satisfy the Zionist regime in Israel.”
