RAMALLAH, February 6, 2025 (WAFA) – Amnesty International said US President Donald Trump's proposal to transfer Palestinians from Gaza is "outrageous" and "a flagrant violation of international law".

"Any plan to forcibly transfer Palestinians from occupied territory against their will is a war crime," said Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard.

Trump said during a press conference in Washington with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu late on Tuesday that the US “will take over” Gaza after relocating Palestinians elsewhere under an extraordinary redevelopment plan that he claimed could turn the enclave into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

Trump’s proposal came after the ceasefire agreement took effect in Gaza on January 19, pausing Israel’s genocidal assault on the enclave which has killed over 47,500 Palestinians and injured more than 111,000, according to Palestinian Health Ministry.
