“All of Palestine, from the river to the sea, belongs to the Palestinian people,” a post published in the X account of khamenei.ir said on Thursday.
It came after Donald Trump said that the US will “take over” and “own” Gaza after an ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the besieged enclave under an extraordinary plan that he claimed could turn the enclave into “the Riviera of the Middle East”.
Hamas, the Palestinian group that governs Gaza, swiftly condemned the proposal as a “recipe for creating chaos and tension in the region”.
