The Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestine (SLCSP) has condemned US President Donald Trump’s plan to evict Palestinians from their homes and lands in Gaza.
Issuing a statement, the SLCSP called on the people of the world to reject this plan and also demanded leaders of Israel be tried for crimes against humanity for the deaths of Palestinian people.
“A fragile peace process based on the exchange of prisoners is now in operation between Hamas and the Israeli government. The exchange of prisoners is not complete with Israel holding out releasing a number of Palestinians. Despite the ceasefire Israel continues carrying out random raids into Palestinian territory,” the SLCSP said.
The Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestine has accused Trump’s plan for peace in Gaza of ethnically cleansing Gaza of its Palestinian population and for the US to take over Palestinian territory.
“Gaza’s marine field holds an estimated 1.6 trillion cubic feet in recoverable natural gas resources. The offshore Gaza territory also holds additional energy resources. Trump’s ‘peace plan’ is to gain control of these resources of the Palestinian people,” it said.
The Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestine, in solidarity with the people of Palestine and the neighbouring Arab states, has rejected Trump’s plan to cleanse the Palestinian city of Gaza of Palestinians as well as to hand over Palestinian territory to the US.
“US President Trump’s so-called ‘peace plan’ in reality, is simply a means of delivering the whole of Palestine into Israeli hands on the one hand and rewarding those who commit mass murder and genocide on the other,” it added. (Newswire)
