UAE among eight countries to condemn Ben-Gvir's call to remove all Gazans from territory

UAE joins eight nations in condemning Israel's call to remove Palestinians from Gaza. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, Pakistan, Turkey, and Indonesia also joined the condemnation, according to a joint statement by their foreign ministers. The ministers rejected any attempts to displace Palestinians, both within and outside the occupied Palestinian territory, stating that such proposals violate international law and pose a direct threat to the Palestinian people's rights.

They emphasized that Gaza is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory and called for preserving the unity of Palestinian territories, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The ministers urged the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to prevent attempts to alter the demographic or geographic reality in Palestine.

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir proposed an illegal plan to forcibly expel all Gazans, claiming it was "realistic." However, Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, have consistently rejected such a forced displacement. US officials, including Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, reiterated that there is no plan to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza.
