The UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, Balakrishnan Rajagopal, said that the idea of mass deportation of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip is “a mere fantasy . ”
He warned in a press interview last night that this would be considered "one of the biggest violations of international law in recent centuries."
During his speech, which comes on the sidelines of his participation in the 58th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva (Switzerland), which began on February 24 and will continue until April 4, Rajagopal addressed the plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Strip, in addition to the ceasefire efforts in the Strip and the process of rebuilding it.
He stressed the difficulty of achieving an effective reconstruction process in Gaza, if the Israeli occupation continues, and the risk of a large-scale confrontation remains.
