UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned US President Donald Trump's suggestion that the US take control of Gaza and displace its inhabitants, calling it tantamount to ethnic cleansing. Guterres emphasized the Palestinian right to live in their own land and criticized the dehumanization of Palestinians. He reiterated the importance of a two-state solution and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Agence France PresseUnited Nations, United States—The UN chief warned Wednesday against ethnic cleansing in Gaza as he rejected US President Donald Trump ’s bombshell proposal for the United States to take control of the Palestinian territory and displace all its people.
Guterres said nothing justified the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel that sparked the war in Gaza but “the catalogue of destruction and unspeakable horrors” that came as Israel attacked Gaza relentlessly in reprisal could not be justified either. After an international outcry, Trump administration officials tried Wednesday to walk back the Trump proposal, saying any displacement of the Palestinians of Gaza would be temporary while the largely destroyed territory is rebuilt.Guterres insisted on the idea of a two-state solution with Israel and the Palestinians living side by side in peace.
