U.S. REJECTS ISRAELI PLANS TO EXPEL PALESTINIANS
January 8, 2024U.S. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, at a press conference during his fourth trip to the Middle East, following the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel on Oct 7, unequivocally voiced America’s DISAPPROVAL OF ISRAEL’S intentions to expel 2.3 million Palestinian refugees from Gaza.
In what could be described as the U.S. Administrations sternest criticism of Israel since the war started, Blinken stated at a press conference in Qatar yesterday: ”We reject the statements by some Israeli officials and lawmakers calling for a resettlement of Palestinians outside of Gaza. These statements are irresponsible, inflammatory and make it harder to secure a future for a Palestinian-led Gaza…Palestinian civilians must be able to return home as soon as conditions allow. They cannot, they must not, be pressed to leave Gaza.”
He further went on to discuss the global impact of Yemen’s Red Sea blockade on the international economy and shipping companies. #GOYEMEN

English Script:
Antony Blinken: As Israel moves to a lower intensity phase of its military operation in the north, the United Nations can also play a crucial role in evaluating what needs to be done to allow displaced Palestinians to return home. Palestinian civilians must be able to return home as soon as conditions allow. They cannot, they must not be pressed to leave Gaza. We reject the statements by some Israeli ministers and lawmakers calling for a resettlement of Palestinians outside of Gaza. These statements are irresponsible, they’re inflammatory, and they only make it harder to secure a future, a Palestinian led Gaza with Hamas no longer in control and with terrorist groups no longer able to threaten Israel’s security. This is not just a regional issue. It’s a matter of global concern. And that’s certainly the case when it comes to the Houthi attacks on freedom of navigation in one of the world’s busiest trade corridors, the Red Sea. These attacks have directly affected the citizens, the cargo, the commercial interests of more than 40 countries. They disrupted or diverted nearly 20% of global shipping. More than a dozen shipping companies have had to reroute thousands of vessels around the Cape of Good Hope.
