“The proposal to relocate the Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries is a forced displacement that would violate international humanitarian law,” Michael Becker, Professor of International Human Rights in Trinity College in Dublin, who had previously worked in the International Court Al Jazeera.

Becker added that Trump's proposal, if acted, could also clear the soil for the subsequent annexation of Israel of Gaza, an act that Becker said would be a “violation of the ban on the basis of the acquisition in territory”.
