Iran condemns US President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, warning it would amount to “ethnic cleansing.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei says the international community should help Palestinians “secure their right to self-determination… rather than pushing for other ideas that would be tantamount to ethnic cleansing.”
Arab foreign ministers on Saturday rejected the transfer of Palestinians from Gaza “under any circumstances or justifications,” presenting a unified stance against Trump’s call for Egypt and Jordan to take in residents of the Strip.
