Abbas Araghchi has mocked Trump’s proposal to “clean out” Palestinians from Gaza, saying in an interview with Sky News that Israelis instead should be sent to Greenland.

“My suggestion is something else. Instead of Palestinians, try to expel Israelis – take them to Greenland so they can kill two birds with one stone,” the Iranian foreign minister said.
- Trump has expressed an interest in making Greenland a part of the United States since his election win in November, arguing that the autonomous territory of Denmark is critical to his country’s national security.
In the interview, Araghchi also acknowledged that Iran’s regional allies have been weakened during the fighting with Israel, but insisted that they remain standing.
- “Hamas and Hezbollah have been damaged. But at the same time, they are rebuilding themselves, because as I said, this is a school of thought, this is an idea, this is a cause, this is an ideal that will always be there,” he told Sky News.
