Blogger’s Note: As South Africa’s legal bid to have Zionist Israel condemned as the genocidal regime it undoubtedly is looms at the International Court of Justice – all those hypocritical Western and Arab regimes (including the UN) that stood quietly by (at the behest of the US) and allowed the Zionist racists to murder over 20,000 Palestinian men, women and children (and wound over 50,000 overs) – are (like rats deserting a sinking ship) scrambling to salvage some kind of respectability in the face of being found guilty of “complicity” in the application of Israeli genocide! All these statements below are designed to create the illusion of “distance’ between these “enablers” of genocide and those Zionist-monsters who have “carried-out” their genocidal crimes – using weaponry supplied by the US, UK and EU! ISIS, Al Qaeda, Israel and Neo-Nazi Ukraine all have the United States (and its impotent lap-dog allies) as their progenitor! ACW (4.1.2024)

MUSCAT, Thursday, January 4, 2023 (WAFA) – The Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Oman has strongly condemned statements made by officials in the Israeli government, in which they called for relocating the people of the Gaza Strip to another country.
The Omani Ministry, in a statement, affirmed the firm Omani position in considering the Gaza Strip an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territories according to the UN resolutions, which binds Israel to withdraw from all the lands it occupied and return to the 1967 borders to ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
UPDATE: France Condemns Israeli Ministers’ Call for Palestinians to relocate out of Gaza, Foreign Ministry welcomes its position
PARIS, Wednesday, January 3, 2023 (WAFA) – France condemned today statements made by extremist far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, in which they called for relocating the people of the Gaza Strip to another country and to reestablish settlements there.
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, called for refraining from such statements, which it slammed as “inflammatory and irresponsible.”
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates welcomed the French position in rejection of the displacement of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip and the re-establishment of settlements there.
It called for real international pressure to stop the crimes of genocide and forced displacement committed against our people in the Strip and provide them with basic human needs despite the occupation’s arrogance and siege.
UN says “very disturbed” by Israeli calls for people of Gaza to migrate
GENEVA, Thursday, January 4, 2024 (WAFA) – UN human rights chief Volker Turk said today he was “very disturbed” against the backdrop of comments by senior Israeli officials calling for Palestinians to leave Gaza.
In a tweet on X he wrote: “Very disturbed by high-level Israeli officials’ statements on plans to transfer civilians from #Gaza to third countries. 85 percent of people in Gaza are already internally displaced. They have the right to return to their homes.”
He added that “international law prohibits forcible transfer of protected persons within or deportation from occupied territory.”
Earlier this week, Israel’s ultranationalist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for promoting “a solution to encourage the emigration of Gaza’s residents” and the re-establishment of Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip.
His comments came the day after far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also called for the return of settlers to Gaza, adding that Israel should “encourage” the territory’s approximately 2.4 million Palestinians to leave.
