UN Raises Alarms on Israeli Plot to Forcibly Relocate Gazans
Spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani raised alarms about reported proposals that the Israeli regime is working with other countries, including the US, to potentially facilitate the so-called voluntary movement of Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip, warning that such plans could amount to forcible transfer under international law.
"This raises concerns with regard to forcible transfer," Shamdasani told reporters at a UN press briefing in Geneva.
"The concept of voluntary transfers in the context that we're seeing in Gaza right now -- it's very questionable," she added.
The UN has previously warned against statements -- including US President Donald Trump's remarks -- that suggest the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza.
