U.S. President Donald Trump has once again shocked the world by declaring his intention to fully take over Gaza. Trump doubled down on this plan over the weekend, stating he is “committed to buying and owning Gaza,” adding that Palestinians would not be able to return and would instead be forcibly resettled elsewhere. 

On Wednesday, North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) strongly condemned the new U.S. administration’s plans for Gaza, stating that “A nation's sovereignty, self-determination, and territorial integrity cannot be America's bargaining chips or objects of ridicule.” The article called for America to “wake up from these anachronistic delusions and immediately stop violating other nations' dignity and sovereignty.”
