Iranian Minister Suggests Sending Israelis to Greenland in Response to Trump's Proposal
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi strongly reacted to Donald Trump's proposal to relocate Palestinians, suggesting instead that Israelis should be deported to Greenland. His statement sparked international controversy, further straining relations between Iran, Israel, and the United States.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sharply criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump's idea of relocating Palestinians to other countries. In response, he sarcastically proposed an “alternative solution” – sending Israelis to Greenland.
This statement is part of the long-standing hostility between Iran and Israel. Tehran has never recognized Israel and continues to support Palestinian groups, including Hamas.
Context of the Statement
Donald Trump, known for his strong support of Israel during his presidency, repeatedly proposed unconventional solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As part of his "Deal of the Century," he suggested that Palestinians relocate to other countries, a proposal that angered the Arab world.
In response, Abbas Araghchi stated that if the international community considers such ideas, it would make more sense to relocate Israelis instead. His mention of Greenland was likely a reference to Trump's 2019 attempt to purchase the island from Denmark.
International Reaction
Araghchi’s remarks triggered widespread reactions. Israeli politicians condemned his statement as "another example of Tehran’s anti-Semitic rhetoric." U.S. officials also denounced his words, emphasizing that such remarks "incite hatred" and hinder diplomatic efforts.
At the same time, some observers noted that Araghchi’s words were more of a sarcastic response to Trump’s controversial proposal, reflecting Iran’s frustration over what it sees as a disregard for Palestinian rights.
Escalating Tensions
Relations between Iran and Israel continue to deteriorate. In recent years, both sides have exchanged threats, and Israel has launched strikes on Iranian-backed forces in Syria. While Araghchi’s comments are unlikely to have direct diplomatic consequences, they add fuel to an already tense situation.
