I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposal for the United States to take over Gaza and displace millions of Palestinians. This plan would violate international law, cause immense human suffering, and undermine longstanding U.S. policy supporting a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Forcibly displacing over 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip would constitute ethnic cleansing and a grave violation of their human rights. It would tear families apart, deprive them of their homes and livelihoods, and subject them to severe trauma. As history has shown, such mass population transfers often lead to bloodshed, regional instability, and cycles of violence that last for generations. Furthermore, this proposal contradicts decades of U.S. diplomacy aimed at achieving a negotiated settlement establishing an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel based on the 1967 borders. It would destroy any remaining credibility for the United States as an honest broker for peace. Key U.S. allies like Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia have already rejected this idea, exposing how out-of-step it is with the international consensus. Rather than pursuing reckless, unilateral actions that inflame tensions, I urge you to redouble efforts toward a just and lasting resolution to this conflict through robust diplomacy and adherence to international law and human rights principles. The Palestinian people deserve self-determination and statehood, not forced displacement from their ancestral homeland. I strongly advise against moving forward with this misguided proposal.
