North Korea condemns Trump’s Gaza takeover plan as ‘slaughter, robbery’

North Korea has called for the US to stop ‘encroaching upon the dignity and sovereignty’ of the Palestinian people.

North Korean state media has accused the US of “slaughter and robbery” over President Donald Trump’s proposed plan to occupy the Gaza Strip and expel its population of more than two million Palestinians.

“The world is now boiling like a porridge pot over the US’ bombshell declaration,” the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in a commentary published on Wednesday, in which Trump was not explicitly named.

The White House’s Gaza proposal was evidence of the US’s “hegemonic, invasive” ambition for world dominance, it said.

KCNA also called the US a “ferocious robber” over the Trump administration’s calls to take over the Panama Canal and Greenland, as well as its decision to rename the “Gulf of Mexico” the “Gulf of America.”.

“The US should awaken from its anachronistic daydream and stop at once the act of encroaching upon the dignity and sovereignty of other countries and nations,” KCNA said.

“It’s not an issue limited to the Gaza Strip only,” it added.

North Korea has been an outspoken critic of the situation in Gaza, condemning Israel for its “ruthless” massacre of Palestinians and calling the US an “accomplice” to its crimes.
