Trump Wants to ‘Take Over’ Gaza; Germany Fires Back | Olaf Scholz Calls Trump’s Plan a ‘Scandal’

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has strongly condemned former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to "take over" Gaza and relocate Palestinians elsewhere, calling it a "scandal" and a violation of international law.

Speaking during a televised debate ahead of Germany’s February elections, Scholz emphasized that forced resettlement is unacceptable, citing opposition from Egypt and Jordan.

CDU leader Friedrich Merz also criticized Trump’s remarks but urged caution, noting that much of Trump's rhetoric may not translate into action.

The controversy adds to rising tensions as Germany's political landscape heats up ahead of the crucial vote.

'All Hell Will Break Loose': Trump's Biggest Threat After Hamas Halts Hostage Release [Video]

'All Hell Will Break Loose': Trump's Biggest Threat After Hamas Halts Hostage Release

Donald Trump has warned of severe consequences if Hamas fails to release hostages by Saturday, stating, "All Hell is going to break out." He also suggested the US should "own" Gaza, calling it a potential "Riviera of the Middle East." His remarks have drawn strong criticism from Arab nations, particularly Jordan and Egypt, who reject any forced relocation of Palestinians. Hamas has dismissed Trump’s proposal as "absurd," accusing him of treating Gaza like a real estate project. The White House insists relocation would only be temporary, but Trump's stance raises serious geopolitical concerns. #Trump #Israel #Hamas #Gaza #MiddleEast #Hostages #Ceasefire #Palestine #USPolitics #Jordan #Egypt #RealEstate #Geopolitics #USForeignPolicy #War #Diplomacy #Tensions #ArabWorld #Negotiations #BreakingNews #Peripheral Also Read Cancel Israel and Hamas Ceasefire Deal If...: US Prez Donald Trump's Big Statement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/cancel-israel-and-hamas-ceasefire-deal-if-us-prez-donald-trumps-big-statement-4067971.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump To Announce 25% Tariffs On Steel And Aluminum Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-to-announce-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-on-monday-4066973.html?ref=DMDesc US Prez Trump Says He's Revoking Biden's Security Clearance, Ending Intelligence Briefings In Payback Move :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-says-hes-revoking-bidens-security-clearance-ending-intelligence-briefings-in-paybac-4065405.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

EU Threatens Trump With Trade War After New Metal Tariffs | France Vows No Hesitation In Retaliation [Video]

EU Threatens Trump With Trade War After New Metal Tariffs | France Vows No Hesitation In Retaliation

The European Union is gearing up for a fierce trade battle after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports. French Finance Minister Jean-Noël Barrot issued a stark warning, declaring that the EU will take reciprocal measures and will not hesitate to defend its economic interests. Barrot recalled that when Trump imposed similar tariffs in 2018, the EU swiftly retaliated—targeting iconic American exports such as Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Levi’s jeans, and bourbon. With tensions escalating, Brussels is now preparing countermeasures, potentially igniting a fresh transatlantic trade war. Will the EU’s response deter Trump, or is the world on the brink of another economic showdown? Stay tuned for updates on this high-stakes trade conflict. #TrumpTariffs #EUTariffs #FranceTrumpTariffs #TradeWar #TrumpVsEU #SteelTariffs #AluminumTariffs #USTradePolicy #TrumpEconomy #EuropeRetaliates #TradeConflict #TariffBattle #GlobalTrade #TrumpTradeWar #EUResponse #EconomicShowdown Also Read Cancel Israel and Hamas Ceasefire Deal If...: US Prez Donald Trump's Big Statement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/cancel-israel-and-hamas-ceasefire-deal-if-us-prez-donald-trumps-big-statement-4067971.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump To Announce 25% Tariffs On Steel And Aluminum Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-to-announce-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-on-monday-4066973.html?ref=DMDesc US Prez Trump Says He's Revoking Biden's Security Clearance, Ending Intelligence Briefings In Payback Move :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-says-hes-revoking-bidens-security-clearance-ending-intelligence-briefings-in-paybac-4065405.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~GR.122~HT.318~PR.152~

Trump Vs EU BIG Face-off On Tariff War: US Braces For Major Impact As Europe Vows Retaliation

The European Union has strongly responded to President Donald Trump’s warning about tariffs, vowing to retaliate if the US imposes new trade barriers. Trump’s administration is set to target the EU with tariffs, building on previous moves against Canada, Mexico, and China. In a sharp response, EU leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, emphasized that Europe would not back down, warning that a trade war would harm both sides. While Trump has argued for fairer trade contributions from European nations, the EU insists that any new tariffs will disrupt both economies. With escalating tensions, the EU has made it clear that it will act in defense of its interests, signaling a potential showdown in global trade relations. #EUTariffRetaliation #TrumpTariffs #TrumpTradeWar #TrumpTariffThreat #TrumpOnTariffs #DonaldTrumpTariffs #TariffsOnChina #EUTradeWar #TariffWarEscalates #TrumpCanadaTariffs #TrumpMexicoTariffs #TrumpVsEU #TradeWarEscalates #TrumpTariffWarning #EUTradePower #GlobalTradeTensions #USVSEurope #TariffShowdown #EuropeFightsBack #TradeWarImpact #EUTariffRetaliation #TrumpTariffs #TrumpTradeWar #TrumpTariffThreat #TrumpOnTariffs #DonaldTrumpTariffs #TariffsOnChina #EUTradeWar #TariffWarEscalates #TrumpCanadaTariffs #TrumpMexicoTariffs #TrumpVsEU #TradeWarEscalates #TrumpTariffWarning #EUTradePower #GlobalTradeTensions #USVSEurope #TariffShowdown #EuropeFightsBack #TradeWarImpact Also Read PM Modi, Trump Likely To Meet On Feb 13: Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-trump-likely-to-meet-on-feb-13-reports-hint-at-high-profile-dinner-4061201.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Threatens Action Over Chinese 'Influence' In Panama Canal, Warns Of 'Powerful' Consequences :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-threatens-action-over-chinese-influence-in-panama-canal-warns-of-powerful-consequences-4060803.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Accuses South Africa Of 'Human Rights Violations'; Suspends Aid, Demands Probe :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-accuses-south-africa-of-human-rights-violations-suspends-aid-demands-probe-4060725.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

BREAKING | Hamas Suspends Release of Israeli Hostages, Accuses Israel of Multiple Truce Violations

Hamas has announced an indefinite suspension of Israeli hostage releases, citing multiple ceasefire violations by Israel. The militant group accused Israel of delaying the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza, targeting civilians with shelling, and blocking humanitarian aid. The latest hostage exchange, scheduled for Saturday, has now been halted. In response, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz condemned Hamas’s decision as a “complete violation” of the truce and ordered the IDF to prepare for potential military action. The ceasefire agreement, which has facilitated previous hostage swaps, now faces growing uncertainty. #Hamas #Israel #HostageCrisis #HamasIsraelBreaking #CeasefireViolation #BreakingNews #MiddleEastTensions #GazaConflict #IsraelDefenseForces #TruceCollapse #HostageRelease #IsraelHamasWar #MilitaryAlert #PeaceTalks #HumanitarianCrisis #WarUpdates ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~
