U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza is illegal under international law and “amounts to ethnic cleansing,” the United Nations’ top investigator on human rights in Palestine told POLITICO.
“Trump is woefully ignorant of international law and the law of occupation. Forcible displacement of an occupied group is an international crime, and amounts to ethnic cleansing,” Navi Pillay, chair of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, told POLITICO in an interview.
“There is no way under the law that Trump could carry out the threat to dislocate Palestinians from their land,” Pillay said.
