 North Korea Condemns U.S. Plan to Relocate Gaza Residents


North Korea on Wednesday criticized the United States over former President Donald Trump’s proposal to redevelop the Gaza Strip by taking control of the war-torn territory and relocating its residents.


In an editorial, Pyongyang’s state media outlet, KCNA, described the plan as a "bomb declaration", adding that global opposition is growing against the U.S. stance.


“The U.S. must wake up from its outdated delusions and immediately cease actions that violate the dignity and sovereignty of other nations,” the editorial stated.


KCNA further accused the U.S. of pursuing hegemonic ambitions, citing Trump’s past remarks about making Canada the 51st U.S. state and taking over Greenland.


“The sovereignty, right to self-determination, and territorial integrity of nations should never be treated as bargaining chips or the subject of U.S. mockery,” the report emphasized.


Trump has recently reaffirmed his position on a potential U.S. involvement in Gaza, a proposal that has drawn widespread criticism.


Meanwhile, the United Nations has warned that any forced displacement of people constitutes ethnic cleansing.
