The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, confirmed his rejection of US President Donald Trump's proposal to seize the Gaza Strip, stating that the proposal to forcibly expel Palestinians from their lands is "absolutely unacceptable."

He added in a speech on Monday, during the opening of the 58th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in the Swiss city of Geneva, that "the suffering of the Palestinians has become unbearable."

He renewed his call for an independent investigation into the serious violations of international law committed by Israel during its recent war on Gaza.

The High Commissioner also stressed that “any sustainable solution must be based on accountability, justice and self-determination, while ensuring the human rights and dignity of both Israelis and Palestinians.”

Regarding Trump's proposal to "seize" Gaza and forcibly displace Palestinians, Turk stressed that "the proposal to forcibly expel people from their lands is absolutely unacceptable."

Since January 25, Trump has been promoting a plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which was rejected by both countries, and was joined by other Arab countries and regional and international organizations.
