Qasem urged Trump "not to align with the vision of the extremist Zionist right-wing."

Earlier, Trump stated that no one wants to expel the residents of Gaza, and no one would force them to leave, in his latest statement that reflected a contradiction in the U.S. stance regarding Gaza.

Trump had repeatedly expressed his desire to relocate Gaza's residents to neighboring countries, with the goal of asserting U.S. control over the area after taking it from Israel, beginning reconstruction, and transforming it into the "Riviera of the Middle East."
