Alon-Lee Green, co-director of Standing Together says the Israeli army is “implementing ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza” with the aim of building illegal Israeli settlements, Al Jazeera reports.

“In other words, colonisation. Yes, our army is forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from northern Gaza to flee south by starving them, bombing them, killing dozens daily, leaving no choice,” he said in a video posted on X.

“Then, they claim people chose to leave, but the reality is they’re forced out to make way for new Israeli settlements,” Green charged.
