Palestinians will not leave Gaza Or the West Bank for an 'alternative homeland'; The future will be decided on the battlefield, not in the capitals of the West Or East
Head of Hamas abroad Khaled Mashal rejected Trump’s Gaza relocation plan at an event for released Hamas prisoners in Egypt and uploaded to Hamas’s Telegram channel on March 10, 2025.
He said that it is the "path of jihad and resistance" that will take back people's homeland, restore honor, and liberate the prisoners. Mashal stressed that Palestinian rights will be drawn up on the battlefield, not determined in foreign capital cities.
He rejected the notion that Palestinians would find an "alternative" homeland, have a political regime imposed upon them, or surrender their weapons.
