German Chancellor rejects the idea of relocating Palestinians from Gaza.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz strongly rejected the idea of relocating Palestinians from Gaza, a proposal previously suggested by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
At an election event in Ludwigsburg on Friday, February 7, Scholz stated, “What President Trump has put out there is something I completely reject. We cannot relocate the population of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, that’s not okay.”
In his remarks, Scholz also addressed U.S. sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), calling them harmful to an important global institution. "I don’t think it’s right to impose sanctions on the ICC," Scholz said. He stressed the significance of the ICC in protecting human rights and preventing global conflicts.
Scholz’s comments come as Germany’s foreign ministry reaffirmed the country’s support for the ICC, despite uncertainty over the impact of U.S. sanctions on the court’s operations.
Additionally, Scholz spoke about Germany’s relationship with the United States, acknowledging the U.S. as the world’s most powerful democracy and a key ally, but emphasized that Europe should maintain its own strength. "The European Union is a large economic area," he said, stressing that Europe could protect its interests while still cooperating with the U.S. "We can also protect ourselves," he concluded, referencing potential responses to economic pressures such as tariffs.
