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. #Trump #Gaza #OlafScholz #GermanyVsTrump #MiddleEastCrisis #InternationalLaw #Palestine #USForeignPolicy #TrumpPlan #GermanyPolitics #CDU #FriedrichMerz #ScholzVsTrump #GlobalTensions #BreakingNews Also Read 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 Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's Washington Visit Aims to Establish Trust with President Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/japan-ishiaba-washington-trip-trump-connection-011-4065309.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.124~
