ABU DHABI/AMMAN/CAIRO: The UAE and the Arab Parliament on Saturday both strongly condemned remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggesting that Palestinians in Gaza should be allowed to voluntarily leave, warning that such comments amount to a violation of international law and threaten regional stability.
Israel on Saturday called on residents of Gaza City to leave as its forces advance deeper into the enclave’s largest urban area.
The Israeli army told people to flee to a “humanitarian zone” in the south ahead of a planned offensive to occupy the urban center.
In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed the country’s support for Egypt’s efforts to stand with the Palestinian people, prevent displacement, and push for an immediate ceasefire, the Emirates News Agency reported.
The ministry described Netanyahu’s remarks as “a dangerous continuation of occupation policies” and stressed that any attempt to uproot Palestinians from their land constitutes “a flagrant violation of international law and United Nations resolutions.”
