Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi proposed on Tuesday that Israelis be relocated to Greenland in response to US President Donald Trump’s proposal to remove Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan.
In an interview with Sky News, Araghchi mocked Trump’s comments, which have sparked outrage across the region, and accusations of US plans to ethnically cleanse the decimated Palestinian territory.
“My suggestion is different. Instead of Palestinians, expel Israelis and send them to Greenland so they can kill two birds with one stone,” Araghchi told the news outlet.
Araghchi was also sarcastically referring to Trump’s recent comments on the US acquiring Greenland from Denmark.
This comes after Trump said on Saturday that he would like to “clean out” the civilian population of Gaza, relocating them to Jordan and Egypt.
