UN Chief Warns of Ethnic Cleansing Risk in Gaza
In a striking statement to The Guardian, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted that only Palestinian resistance to displacement and Arab nations’ refusal to accept refugees are preventing ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Guterres speculated that there might be intentions to force Palestinians out of Gaza to allow others to occupy the territory. He praised the courage and resilience of Palestinians and the Arab world’s determination in preventing ethnic cleansing from becoming a reality.
The UN chief pledged maximum effort to support Palestinians in remaining in their homeland, warning that ethnic cleansing could occur without strong international community intervention. Israel has denied all allegations of ethnic cleansing.
