Israeli move to set up new agency to displace Gazans condemned by Arab countries

Arab countries have condemned Israel’s move to establish an agency to enable the exit of Gazans who “voluntarily” want to leave the enclave. Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry said the kingdom “expresses condemnation of the Israeli occupation authorities’ announcement on the establishment of an agency that aims to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip”. Saudi Arabia also condemned the approval of the separation of 13 illegal settlement neighbourhoods in the occupied West Bank in preparation for legitimising them as colonial settlements. “The kingdom reiterates its firm rejection of Israel’s continuous violations of international law and international humanitarian law,” the ministry added.
