PNN – The former head of Saudi Arabia’s intelligence said to US President Donald Trump: If the Palestinians are to be expelled from Gaza, they must be allowed to return to their homes, to the orange and olive groves in Haifa, Jaffa and other towns and villages from which they were forced out by the Israelis.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing “Al-Khalij Online” news site, Prince Turki al-Faisal added in a letter addressed to Trump after US President Donald Trump’s request to evacuate Palestinians from Gaza, that the Palestinian people are not illegal immigrants to go to other lands.
He emphasized: The lands in which Palestinians live are their lands and the houses destroyed by the Israeli [regime] are their houses and they will rebuild their houses just like the previous attacks by the [regime] of Israel.
The former head of Saudi Arabia’s intelligence emphasized that most of the residents of Gaza are refugees who were expelled from their homes in what is now Israel (Occupied Palestinian Territories) and the West Bank due to Israel’s previous genocidal attacks against them in the 1948 and 1967 wars.
He added: If they are to be expelled from Gaza, they should be allowed to return to their homes, to the orange and olive groves in Haifa, Jaffa and other cities and villages from which they fled or were forced out by the Israelis (Zionists).

Referring to the Zionist settlers in the Palestinian lands, this Saudi prince said: Tens of thousands of immigrants who came to Palestine from Europe and other places after the Second World War, stole the houses and lands of Palestinians, terrorized the people and started a campaign of ethnic cleansing.
In this letter, he pointed out that America and England, the victors of the war at that time, supported and even helped to facilitate the deadly expulsion of Palestinians from their homes and lands.
Turki al-Faisal emphasized about Trump’s announcement of efforts towards peace in the region that the way to achieve this goal is to give the Palestinians the right to determine their own destiny and to have a country with East Jerusalem as its capital, as stated in resolutions 181 and 194 of the United Nations General Assembly and resolutions 242 and 338 of the Security Council and the Arab Peace Initiative.
In controversial statements, US President Donald Trump called for the complete evacuation of the area and the settlement of Palestinians in neighboring Arab countries in order to solve the problems in Gaza.
Emphasizing his directive proposal to the leaders of Egypt and Jordan, Trump asked them to cooperate in the implementation of this plan.
Trump’s statement is that during the days when the Zionist regime was encircling the northern part of the Gaza Strip by dividing the northern and southern parts of Gaza into two halves, about 500,000 people lived in the northern region of the Gaza Strip.
