President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has dismissed the U.S. proposal on Gaza, calling it politically motivated and “not worth discussing.” He reaffirmed that Gaza belongs to the Palestinians and warned against any attempt to separate them from their land.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has strongly criticized the U.S. administration’s proposal regarding Gaza, denouncing it as baseless and driven by external influence. Speaking in Istanbul, Erdoğan said that no force could remove the people of Gaza from their homeland, calling the plan an effort destined to fail.
"Palestine belongs to the Palestinians—with Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem," he stated, adding that the people of Gaza would continue to resist despite prolonged conflict.
The U.S. plan, introduced by President Donald Trump, has drawn widespread opposition. World powers including Russia, China, and Germany have criticized it, warning it could escalate tensions and worsen humanitarian suffering. Saudi Arabia also rejected the proposal outright.
The announcement, made just two weeks after Trump took office, outlined a vision for rebuilding Gaza as an international resort after 16 months of Israeli bombardment. Palestinian authorities report over 47,000 deaths since the conflict began. Critics argue that the plan lacks clear structure and ignores key political realities.
Erdoğan’s remarks further highlight growing global opposition to the proposal, with Türkiye positioning itself as a vocal critic of U.S. policy in the region.
