Summary
Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza and resettle its Palestinian population was widely condemned by allies and adversaries alike.
Arab nations, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia, firmly rejected the plan, reaffirming support for Palestinian sovereignty. U.S. allies like Australia and New Zealand reiterated their backing of a two-state solution.
Critics, including Palestinian leaders and Hamas, denounced the move as illegal and destabilizing.
U.S. lawmakers also opposed it, with some calling it “dangerous” and “ethnic cleansing.”
“ethnic cleansing"
That is the correct phrase here. Start there and keep going.
There’s no such thing as ethnic cleansing. It’s just a weasel word for genocide. It’s all it ever has been. When “ethnic cleansing” was going on in the Balkans in the 90s, it was just a genocide that nobody was intervening to stop. Same for Myanmar in the mid 2010s And for Karabakh in 2020.
Genocide is a wider term. It covers killing people based on religion, country of origin, color of skin, size of nose, etc etc.
Ethnic cleansing is genocide but specifically done towards people of a specific ethnicity.
