“Trump thinks Gaza is a pile of garbage -- absolutely not,“ the 34-year-old said, attacking Trump’s choice of words when he told reporters last week of his plan to “clean out the whole thing”.
Both Egypt and Jordan have flatly rejected Trump’s idea, as have Gazans and other neighbouring countries.
“Trump and Netanyahu must understand the reality of the Palestinian people and the people of Gaza. This is a people deeply rooted in their land -- we will not leave,“ Azzam told AFP.
“We will remain on this land no matter what. Even if we have to live in tents and on the streets, we will stay rooted in this land,“ the 30-year-old said.
“The world must understand this message: we will not leave, as happened in 1948.”
Standing near crumbling buildings blocks destroyed by war in the northern Gaza city of Jabalia, Raafat Kalob is concerned about the consequences that the Trump-Netanyahu meeting will have on his life.
“I sincerely hope this plan does not succeed.”
In Jabalia and Gaza’s north, areas that were particularly hard-hit by the war, displaced Palestinians who returned after a ceasefire took effect on January 19 have taken residence in tents next to their destroyed homes.
Trump “will pressure Netanyahu to end this war” permanently, he said.
Zebda, a father of six who lost his home in the war, said neither he nor any Gazan would leave the coastal territory.
“We are the owners of this land; we have always been here, and will always be. The future is ours,“ he said.
