Arab foreign ministers have categorically rejected the displacement of Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan as well as Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip.

Arab foreign ministers have categorically rejected the displacement of Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan as well as Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip, and called for “holding Israel accountable for its crimes against the Palestinian people before the relevant international courts,” the Middle East Monitor reported.

During a meeting in Riyadh on Wednesday, headed by Saudi Foreign Minister, Faisal Bin Farhan, the ministers discussed the Israeli aggression on Gaza, ways to stop it and prepared draft resolutions related to this single item to be presented at the League’s extraordinary meeting at the summit level, scheduled to be held tomorrow.

In a joint statement issued after the meeting, the ministers condemned “the Israeli occupation and its aggression against the Gaza Strip and called for it to be held accountable for its crimes against the Palestinian people and rejected Israel’s reoccupation of the Gaza Strip and any other Palestinian lands.”

On October 17, the Israeli think tank, the ‘Misgav Institute for National Security & Zionist Strategy’, published a position paper, in which they outlined their proposed ethnic cleansing plan, declaring that “there is at the moment a unique and rare opportunity to evacuate the whole Gaza Strip in coordination with the Egyptian government.” 

The plan openly advocated the ethnical cleansing of Gaza of its Palestinian civilian population, and blatantly sought to take advantage of the situation at hand to create a ‘solution’ to Israel’s ‘Gaza problem’. 

Israel has, thus far, killed over 10,569, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women, and wounded 26,475 wounded. Palestinian Ministry of Health reports and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
