UK will oppose any effort to forcibly displace Palestinians, minister says
Britain will oppose any efforts to move Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to neighboring Arab states against their will, a foreign office minister says.
“There must be no forced displacement of Palestinians, nor any reduction in the territory of the Gaza Strip,” minister Anneliese Dodds tells parliament.
Dodds’s remarks come after US President Donald Trump proposed earlier this week resettling Palestinians and taking over Gaza to develop it. He said he envisioned building a resort where international communities could live in harmony.
