Press Release
Trump’s Reckless Threats Will be Shattered Against the Rock of Gaza’s Resilience
(Translated)

As soon as Trump assumed the presidency of the United States, he began making threats left and right. The most outrageous of these was his announcement of his intention to forcibly displace the people of Gaza. He reaffirmed his support for the permanent expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other countries during his meeting with the Prime Minister of the Jewish entity on Tuesday, February 4, 2025. He even declared his desire to purchase Gaza’s land and turn it into an investment project! He reiterated this stance during his meeting with the traitor of Jordan, claiming that the solution to the conflict lies in the departure of Palestinians from Gaza, suggesting that countries other than Jordan and Egypt would be willing to receive them. He added that he wants the people of Gaza to find a suitable place to live because what is happening in the tunnels and elsewhere is chaos, and went on to say that "the people of Gaza have known nothing but death and destruction."

Although his statements turned him into a laughingstock and were met with Palestinian, Arab, and international rejection, with global newspapers calling his proposals fantastical and dangerous, he persisted in his threats. On Monday, February 10, 2025, he declared: "If all the hostages are not returned from Gaza by 12 noon on Saturday, I will call for the cancellation of the ceasefire."

This reckless man fails to realize that his bluster and threats only work on cowardly puppets who have sold out their Ummah for power and positions controlled by their masters—those whom Allah describes: [إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ] “That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters.” [Aal-i-Imran:175]

But such threats hold no weight against those who have dedicated themselves to Allah and made their struggle a matter of life and death, seeking either Nasr (victory) or martyrdom. Proof of this is the fifteen months of war that Gaza has endured at the hands of the Jewish enemy.

The unarmed people of Gaza, alongside the mujahideen, stood firm against brutal aggression and heinous crimes that targeted people, trees, and stones. The Jewish entity employed every criminal method at its disposal, supported by America and the West, while Muslim rulers betrayed their people and their armies remained idle in their barracks. Despite all of this, they failed to free their captives!

Is the American president now trying, through his statements, to distract the world from the defeat of the Jews at the hands of a small but faithful group?

Did he not witness with his own eyes tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians returning to northern Gaza, despite having no shelter, clinging to their land no matter the sacrifices? Or is his vision obscured?

O Muslims, O people of guidance and righteousness!

The Al-Aqsa Flood battle has exposed and unmasked many, dividing the Ummah into two camps with no third: The camp of those who stand firm upon the truth, as foretold by the Prophet (saw), who said that no harm will come to them from those who betray them. And the camp of falsehood, led by the hypocrites who abandon the people of truth and prioritize the rule of tyrants over the rule of Allah.

O Armies of the Muslim Ummah!

The people of Gaza have remained steadfast throughout this aggression, proving to the world—and to you—the duty that lies upon your shoulders. Allah will question you about every drop of Muslim blood spilled on this Blessed Land. Will you abandon them and leave them to face the vile conspiracies of America and the Jews alone? Or will you heed the call of Allah, crush the thrones of the traitors, and march to liberate Gaza and the entire land of Al-Isra and Al-Mi’raj from the filth of the Jews?

Hizb ut Tahrir calls upon you to rise to this great honor and immense duty—to be the Ansar (supporters) of Allah. Will you answer the call?
