Tampering with the fate and future of the Palestinian people is unacceptable

The tone of the Israeli statements calling for the voluntary and self-displacement of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip to other countries has increased in light of the deliberations being discussed the day after the war on the Strip, especially what was presented by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who said that it is in Israel’s interest for them to emigrate a large number of Gaza Strip citizens abroad.

These statements coincide with what was revealed by Channel 12 of Israeli television, that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was assigned to work to displace the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, and that he met secretly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leader of the National Camp, Benny Gantz, for this purpose, despite the denial of a close source to Blair reported this news in statements to the Jerusalem Post newspaper, but the response of the Palestinian presidency was firm when it announced its rejection of such suspicious attempts to displace the citizens of the Gaza Strip. The presidency stated that this matter is considered a "condemnable and rejected act."

This attempt aims for Blair to be the mediator regarding "Israeli desires regarding 'the next day', and he will also examine again the possibility of receiving refugees from Gaza in countries around the world."

What is required from Palestine is to urgently and very urgently convey this rejection to the British government and demand that it not allow this tampering with the fate and future of the Palestinian people and demand that the United Nations do what it can, in order not to allow such actions that violate international law and international legitimacy.”

As the Palestinian presidency says that Blair’s participation in the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza “represents an intervention and an action that only serves Israel’s interests, and harms the Palestinian people and their rights, and pushes them to abandon their land.” This appears as if Tony Blair will complete the Balfour Declaration issued by the British government with the participation of American (1917), which paved the way for a historical tragedy for the Palestinian people.

We also appeal to the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which announced yesterday that it will continue to follow up on this dangerous issue in partnership with Arab, Islamic and friendly countries to confront it at all popular, partisan and official levels, and at the level of the national courts in the countries concerned, hoping that it will succeed in its efforts to stop the Israeli government’s plans to deepen genocide and forced displacement among the Palestinians, emphasizing that this attempt to tamper with the fate, history and future of the Palestinian people is rejected and condemned at all levels...
