North Korea Condemns Trump's Gaza Proposal as 'Ludicrous'

North Korean state media criticized the U.S. proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, calling it ludicrous and extortionate. The commentary accused the U.S. of violating the sovereignty of other nations and called the proposal an international scandal akin to other U.S. initiatives, like taking over the Panama Canal.

In a bold rebuke, North Korean state media has denounced U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza as 'ludicrous,' describing Washington's actions as extortionate. This comes as a shock amid dwindling hopes for peace in the region.

Korean Central News Agency's commentary criticized the proposal, labeling it a 'bombshell declaration' akin to other controversial U.S. initiatives, such as renaming the Gulf of Mexico and taking over the Panama Canal. The agency urged the U.S. to stop its anachronistic delusions and respect other nations' sovereignty.

Despite previously friendly summits between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Pyongyang's state media has focused on condemning the U.S.'s international stance. North Korea has vocally blamed Israel and the U.S. for the ongoing bloodshed in Gaza, calling the United States an 'accomplice.'
