“It’s unlawful, immoral and completely irresponsible,” says Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, when asked about US President Trump’s suggestion to remove Palestinians from Gaza and have the US take ownership, Al Jazeera reports.

“What he proposes is … nonsense,” Albanese said at a news conference in Denmark’s capital Copenhagen. “It will make the regional crisis even worse.

“It’s incitement to commit forced displacement, which is an international crime,” she added. “The international community is made up of 193 states and this is the time to give the US what it has been looking for: isolation.”
