For the moment, we have not noted any reactions from the NGOs or the United Nations concerning Donald Trump’s proposal for ” to clean “ the Gaza Strip and ask Egypt and Jordan to ” take “ Refugees from the Palestinian enclave. He will return to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to seize this question or not. An arrest warrant has already been issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, and his former defense minister for crimes against humanity and war crimes.
To answer your question, legally, the “Exact term in international humanitarian law is that of” forced transfer “” “as explained to Monde In November Shai Parnes, spokesperson for the Israeli NGO for the Defense of Human Rights B’tselem, who also uses the expression of “ethnic cleansing”, “More familiar” for the general public. “The responsibility of these atrocities is not only incumbent on Israel, but also to the international community which endorses them”said Mr. Parnes.
The deportation and forced transfer of population are crimes recognized by the ICC in the status of Rome.
At this stage, nor Israel, Jordan or Egypt officially reacted to the words of the American president.
The idea should be well received by Israel, where the far -right partners of the Prime Minister have long advocated what they describe as the migration of a large number of Palestinians and the restoration of the Jewish colonies in Gaza.
Human rights groups have already accused Israel of ethnic cleaning, which the United Nations experts have defined as a policy designed by an ethnic or religious group and aimed at chasing the civilian population of another ethnic group in certain areas “By violent means and inspiring terror”.
Before and during the Israeli-Arab war of 1948-1949, launched in the aftermath of the creation of Israel, some 700,000 Palestinians-more than half of the pre-war population-fled or were driven from their home , an event that they commemorate under the name of Nakba, a Arab term which means “disaster”.
During the 1967 Middle East war, when Israel seized the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, 300,000 additional Palestinians fled, mainly in Jordan.
-The refugee crisis, several decades, is one of the main engines of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and one of the most thorny problems of peace talks that failed in 2009. The Palestinians claimed a right to return, while That Israel claims that they should be absorbed by the surrounding Arab countries.
Many Palestinians consider the last war in Gaza, during which entire districts were bombed and 90 % of the 2.3 million inhabitants were driven from their home, such as a new Nakba. They fear that if a large number of Palestinians leave Gaza, they too can never come back to it.
Staying resolutely on your land is at the heart of Palestinian culture, and this was clearly demonstrated in Gaza on Sunday, when thousands of people tried to return to the most destroyed part of the territory.
Egypt and Jordan fiercely rejected the idea of accepting refugees from Gaza at the start of the war, when this idea had been mentioned by some Israeli officials.
The two countries have made peace with Israel but support the creation of a Palestinian State in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, territories conquered by Israel during the War of the Middle East of 1967. They fear that permanent displacement of the population of Gaza does not make this creation impossible.
Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sissi also warned against the security implications for the transfer of a large number of Palestinians to the Sinai peninsula, Egypt, on the Gaza border.
