AI Summary:
Wasayef Abed woke up on Wednesday to murmurs among her fellow displaced Palestinians in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah. The discussion was centred on United States President Donald Trump and his announcement that the US would “take over” Gaza. In Trump’s comments, made as he stood next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the US president even said that Palestinians should move from the enclave permanently. Imad believes that no matter the temptations of resettlement a person’s ultimate refuge is their homeland. Imad lived in Sudan for four years and in Libya for six years in the 1990s. “I would rather die where I stand. Even if they cut me and my children into pieces, I will not leave,” he said. Iman Maqbel, 52, fled from as-Saftawi neighbourhood in northern Gaza to Deir el-Balah. “God willing, he will be taken away,” she said. “We have no energy left to process anything – Trump or his statements,” Khaled said. Mahmoud Abu Ouda, 23, wants to leave the Strip as soon as possible. He rejects the idea of being forced out – but sees no alternative. “If leaving is the solution to our problems, then let’s go,” he continued. Amir Taleb agreed that life in Gaza has become unbearable after the war. He opposed forced displacement or the idea of trading the right to stay in Gaza. “No rational, self-respecting person would accept this. We are not subjugated to Trump or anyone else to be manipulated as they wish,” he said.
