JAKARTA - France rejects US President Donald Trump's wishes to take control of Gaza and force Palestinians' relations to other regions.

Trump's wish, called France, could violate international law and disrupt regional stability.

"France reiterated its rejection of the forced transfer of Palestinians in Gaza, which is a serious violation of international law, an attack on the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, but is also a major obstacle to the two-state solution and the main destabilization factor for our close partners Egypt and Jordan and the rest of the region," said French Foreign Ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine.

Lemoine said Gaza's future must be in the context of a future Palestinian state and must not be controlled by a third country.

The same thing was previously conveyed by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. According to him, US President Donald Trump's proposal to re-imulate Palestinians elsewhere and take over war-torn Gaza is "absurd."

"Where will Palestinians live? This is something no human can understand," Lula said in an interview with a local radio station reported by Reuters, Wednesday, February 5.

"Palestinians are those who need to protect Gaza," he said.

President Donald Trump previously said the United States would take over the Gaza Strip, Palestine under the pretext of rebuilding it and not neglecting the delivery of its troops to the Palestinian enclave.

This was conveyed by President Trump in a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after a meeting in the Oval Room, White House.

"I see the long-term position of ownership, and I see it will bring great stability to the Middle East, and maybe throughout the Middle East as well," President Trump told reporters in the East Room.

"This is not a decision that is made easily. Everyone I talk to likes the idea that the United States owns that piece of land, develops and creates thousands of jobs with something that would be extraordinary," he continued.
