US President Donald Trump's plan to resettle Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip violates international law. This opinion was expressed by the chairwoman of the independent commission established by the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), Navi Pillay.
„Trump has an extremely poor understanding of international law. „Forcibly resettling a group of people living in occupied territory is a violation of international law and constitutes ethnic cleansing“, she said in an interview with the European publication „Politico“. Pillay believes that “there is no legal way” to implement Trump's idea of resettling Palestinians from the enclave and transferring it to US ownership.
