The UN reminds Trump that “all deportation from occupied territory is prohibited” before its plans for Gaza

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, responded on Wednesday to the proposal of US President Donald Trump to expel the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other countries recalling that “all deportation or forced transfer of people from people from An occupied territory is strictly prohibited. ”

“International law is very clear, self -determination is a fundamental principle and must be protected by all states, as the International Court of Justice has recently stressed,” Türk said in a written message in response to an EFE question. “The suffering of people in the occupied Palestinian territory and in Israel has been unbearable, we must enter a new phase to guarantee the peace and security of Palestinians and Israelis on the basis of dignity and equality,” he adds.

Türk insists on this regard by continuing with the successive phases of the current high fire, in order to free all the hostages and prisoners arbitrarily detained, “and end the war to rebuild Gaza with complete respect for international humanitarian law and the human rights ”.

Previously, the president of the National Palestinian Authority (ANP), Mahmud Abás, rejected Trump’s proposal on Wednesday, remembering that Gaza is “integral part” of the Palestinian State.

Trump said Tuesday, at a press conference with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamín Netanyahu, that the United States will take control “of the Gaza Strip in the long term and rebuild it, making it the new” Riviera de Oriente Medio ” After permanently resetting the Palestinians in other countries.
