Israel plans to relocate residents of Gaza to Africa, the UN reminds

Mondo International Updated on 2024-01-31

During the three months of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, women and children in Gaza account for 70 per cent of the total, or sadly, more than 2 percent20,000 people in Gaza lost their lives during this period. Not only that, but Israel** is also planning to relocate people from Gaza to Africa in order to solve the Gaza problem. However, this action was opposed by the United Nations and the international community, who pointed out that the move violated international law and reminded Israel** to stop implementing the plan.

After the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel carried out "indiscriminate strikes" on Gaza, resulting in the death of thousands of people in Gaza. However, Israel** did not stop its retaliatory actions against Gaza, on the contrary, they developed a plan called "Let Palestinians in the Gaza Strip Emigrate". According to reports, Israel is secretly negotiating with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and other countries in Africa in an attempt to relocate people from Gaza to these countries in the hope of being accepted by them. However, countries such as the United States, the European Union and Saudi Arabia have all expressed opposition to the plan, and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has reminded Israel that the movement of people is not permissible and violates international law.

However, despite the opposition of the international community, Israel** has stuck to its plan to forcibly relocate the people of Gaza to Africa. They are trying to find a new home in an African country to solve the problem of Gaza. Among them, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is seen as a potential option because of its large land area and sparse population, which can accommodate a larger population. Israel** is likely to give the DRC some economic and political support to induce them to accept the residents of Gaza.

Although Israel** insisted on implementing the relocation plan, they faced opposition from all sides. U.S. spokesman Miller said the U.S. opposes the relocation of Palestinians beyond Gaza, which should be part of Palestinian territory. Saudi Arabia and the European Union have also expressed opposition to Israel's move.

More importantly, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights reminded Israel that the relocation of Gaza residents violated international law and that forced population relocation was not permitted. The reminder underscored that the people of Gaza should have the right to choose where they live, and called on Israel** to halt the implementation of the relocation plan.

In the early days of the Gaza conflict, Israel claimed that it was only interested in Hamas and not in Gaza territory. However, over time, Israel occupied southern Gaza and gradually drove the northern inhabitants to the south. Today, the north has been completely emptied by Israeli forces. Subsequently, the Israeli army demanded that the southern population leave Gaza or face air strikes. However, Israel did not specify where they should relocate, raising questions and concerns.

Israel** has previously put forward two proposals to deal with Gaza, one is to establish a 5-kilometer-wide "separation zone" on the Israeli border, which does not allow residents to live, and Israel will resettle new immigrants and establish a "buffer zone";The second is to drive the inhabitants of Gaza to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and build a "tent city" there. These plans all mean that Gaza will be ceded to Israel.

Despite the opposition Israel faces from allies and the international community, they have not changed their position and continue to try to relocate the population of Gaza to Africa. They are trying to take advantage of the poverty and the need for foreign investment in African countries to achieve their goals. While African countries face many challenges, some countries may consider accepting this relocation plan if Israel can provide economic and political support.

Israel's plan has attracted international attention and condemnation, with both human rights organizations and the United Nations clearly opposing the action. The lives of the people of Gaza, whose lives have been greatly damaged, should have the right to choose where they live, rather than being forced to move to other countries. Israel** should stop implementing the relocation plan and engage in dialogue and exchanges with the Palestinian side in order to jointly find a solution and achieve peace and stability in the region. The international community should also continue to pay attention to and support the rights and interests of the people in Gaza and fight for their dignity and freedom.
