 UAE Envoy To Washington Claims ‘No Alternative’ To Ethnic Cleansing Of Gaza

Donald Trump’s controversial plan aims to displace the Gaza Strip’s population and grant the US ownership of the enclave

The Emirati ambassador to the US said in an interview on 12 February that he does not “see an alternative” to US President Donald Trump’s plan to expel Gaza’s residents, take over the strip, and redevelop it.

When asked by a reporter at the World Government Summit in Dubai if the UAE can find “common ground” with Washington on the matter, Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba said: “We’re gonna try, I think the current approach is going to be difficult, but at the end of the day, we’re all in the solution seeking business. We just don’t know where it’s gonna land yet.”

In response to a question about whether the UAE has a plan or alternative, he said: “Not yet. I don’t see an alternative to what’s being proposed, I really don’t. And so, if someone has one, we’re happy to discuss it, we’re happy to explore it. But it hasn’t surfaced yet.”

Trump announced last week that the US will “take over” Gaza and relocate its population to neighboring countries, claiming that the plan aims to find a safer location for Palestinians while international development teams take charge of reconstructing the battered and besieged strip.
