Eight countries have condemned Israeli plans to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza. The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, and Qatar issued a joint statement rejecting the proposals. They denounced comments made by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Defense Minister Israel Katz regarding the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
The ministers characterized the proposed plans as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and a direct threat to the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. According to the Malay Mail, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Israel had plans to remove Palestinians from Gaza, while Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said the plan aimed to remove 250,000 Palestinians from Gaza in the first year.
The foreign ministers warned of severe consequences if calls for forced displacement are translated into declared policies or actionable measures aimed at uprooting Palestinians from their land. They stated that such actions present a direct challenge to international peace efforts, particularly US President Donald Trump's comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza, which includes an absolute rejection of forced displacement.
