Experts say that Gaza’s acquisition of Trump will be illegal under international law

President Trump an offer Experts say that in order for the United States to take over Gaza, its inhabitants to Egypt and Jordan are transferred and re -development to the “Riviera in the Middle East” will undoubtedly be a severe violation of international law.

Forced deportation or the transfer of civilian population is a violation of international humanitarian law, war crime and a crime against humanity. the ban Against the forced deportations of civilians have been part of the law of war since the Layer Law, a set of rules related to the behavior of hostilities were issued by the Union forces during the American Civil War. It is prohibited through multiple provisions of the Geneva Conventions, and after the Second World War, the Nuremberg Court defined it as a war crime.

The Rome Law in the International Criminal Court lists forced population transfers as a war crime and a crime against humanity. If the displacement focuses on a specific group based on its ethnic, religious or national identity, then this is persecution – an additional crime. (As Palestine is a party to the International Criminal Court, the court has a judicial authority over these crimes if it occurs inside Gaza, even if the citizens of the United States are committed, and it is not a member of the court.)

When Mr. Trump was asked about the amount of Gaza residents who wanted to move, he said: “All of them,” adding, “I think they will feel overwhelmingly.” And when it was pressed if he would force them to go even if they didn’t want it, Mr. Trump said: “I don’t think they will tell me no.”

“The size of this pledge, the level of coercion and the required strength, and then gravity, made this a clear crime against humanity,” said Janina Del, the participating director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict, in a statement.

Another violation of the United States will be to seize permanently on the territory of Gaza. Marco Milanovich, a professor of international law at the University of Reading at England, said that the details of this violation are partially dependent on whether Palestine is a state. The United Nations has recognized the Palestinian state, but the United States did not do so.

The ban on one of the countries that includes all or part of the region of another country is one of the most Important basic principles International law. “There is a clear base,” said Milanovich. “You cannot overcome another person’s region.” It is rare for countries to violate this rule, and when it was, as in the case of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the response was a widespread global condemnation.

The aggression, which is known by the International Criminal Court as a state that uses force “against sovereignty, regional integrity, political independence of another country, or in any other way that does not contradict the United Nations Charter,” is also a crime. The court will not be able to prosecute Mr. Trump or other US officials because of this crime, because unlike other war crimes, it can be tried only if a citizen of a member state committed it. But the lack of judicial jurisdiction does not mean that the behavior itself is legal.

Even if Gaza is not considered part of a country, the inclusion of the United States for the region will continue to violate the right of the civilian population to self -determination. The International Court of Justice ruled twice that the Palestinian people have the right to obtain this right inside Gaza.

Mr. Milanovich said: “If I take it without her consent, you violate her right to self -determination,” said Mr. Milanovich. “There is no doubt about it.”
