He UN Secretary General, António Guterreshe warned on Wednesday against any attempt to “Ethnic Cleaning” in Gazain response to the statements of US President, Donald Trumpwhich proposed to the Palestinians to leave the devastated territory. “The very essence of the exercise of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people is the right of the Palestinians to live simply as human beings in their own land,” Guterres said before the UN Committee on Palestinian rights.
But “the realization of these rights is increasingly further, more and more out of our reach,” he denounced, describing “the systematic and terrifying dehumanization and demonization of an entire people.” While “obviously, nothing justifies the atrocious attacks of Hamas of October 7,” nothing justifies “the catalog of destruction and unspeakable horrors” in the Gaza Strip In recent months, the UN boss repeated.
For the UN Secretary General, although the high fire in force since January 19 between Israel and Hamas allows a certain respite, “in the search for solutions, we must not aggravate the problem.” In his opinion, “it is essential to remain faithful to the foundations of international law. It is essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleaning.”
Asked specifically about the statements of the US President regarding Gaza, the spokesman for the general secretary, Stéphane Dujarric, stressed that “all forced displacement of a population is equivalent to ethnic cleaning.”
Trump’s proposal
Donald Trump He raised on Tuesday the possibility of taking control of the Gaza Strip and transferring to the Palestinians to Jordan or Egypt, who, he said, “they would love to leave the territory devastated by 15 months of war.” Trump’s proposal has caused one. “We must reaffirm the solution of two states,” Israeli and Palestinian, who live next to the other in peace and security, António Guterres repeated on Wednesday.
“Any lasting peace will require tangible, irreversible and permanent progress towards the solution of two states, the end of the occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, of which Gaza is an integral part,” he insisted.
The UN Secretary General is very far from the Israeli government -Netanyahu Hamas of that day “did not come out of nowhere (but) of 56 years of suffocating occupation for the Palestinian people.”
From Geneva, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, responded to Trump’s proposal to expel the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other countries remembering that “all deportation or forced transfer of people without legal basis is strictly prohibited. “
