Egypt and Seven Key Allies Condemn Israeli Ministers' Gaza Displacement Proposals
The ministers said forced displacement would violate international law and threaten stability as Israeli officials backed plans affecting 250,000 Palestinians in the first year.
- On Sunday, eight Islamic and Arab countries condemned Israeli plans to remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, warning such moves threaten regional stability and violate international law.
- The statement followed proposals by Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to displace residents, which they described as "voluntary emigration."
- Ben Gvir proposed a seven-year plan targeting the territory's roughly two million residents, while Katz stated Israel was prepared to move Palestinians "by sea, by air, by every way possible."
- Ministers declared these actions directly challenge United States President Donald Trump's Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which explicitly rejects forced displacement.
- The eight countries called on the United Nations Security Council to confront attempts to impose a "new demographic or geographic reality" in the occupied Palestinian territory.
