Trump's proposal for Gaza "bizarre" and "dangerous"

5 Feb 2025

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to Donald Trump's proposals for the US to 'take over' Gaza, which could then become the 'Riviera' of the Middle East, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Calum Miller MP said:

"Donald Trump’s proposal for Gaza is bizarre but also dangerous. It shows casual disregard for the rights and aspirations of Palestinians and threatens the basis for peace at this fragile moment.

"The UK cannot be silent - we must make clear that this proposal is damaging, wrong and would amount to a severe breach of international law. 

"Now is the moment for the UK to immediately recognise Palestine as a state, to make clear our commitment to a two-state solution based on 1967 borders."
