Eight foreign ministers have expressed their strong condemnation of plans by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to forcibly relocate Palestinians from Gaza. The ministers from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt issued a joint statement denouncing the proposals, stating that they constitute a clear breach of international law and threaten the fundamental rights of Palestinians.
Ben Gvir outlined a seven-year plan for the displacement of Palestinians through voluntary emigration and pledged to establish a ministry dedicated to managing this emigration process in the upcoming government. The foreign ministers strongly urged the international community, with a particular emphasis on the UN Security Council, to firmly oppose any attempts to alter the demographic or territorial landscape of Gaza.
