On 4 February 2025, US President Donald Trump declared that the United States would take over Gaza and own it, to realise the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’. This statement is shocking even by the standards of his presidency: through his words, Trump endorsed the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Trump wants to deport almost two million people who are traumatised by more than one year of war and who are still suffering because they are deprived of food, water and other objects necessary for survival. Moreover, he does not say where they should go.

Considering that any forcible deportation of people from occupied territory breaches international law:

  • 1.Will the VP/HR stand firmly against this plan presented by the President of the United States?
  • 2.Will the VP/HR reaffirm the need to achieve the two-state solution?
  • 3.What does the Commission intend to do to support the Palestinian people?
