Palestinians transfer to South Africa could help Israel reach 'genocidal aims', UN rapporteur warns

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Whatever they do today, they are coerced, including in getting on plane, going somewhere else,' Francesca Albanese says UN's special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, on Wednesday warned that the "mysterious" chartered flight that brought 153 Palestinian refugees to South Africa is "extremely serious." Speaking at a press conference organized by the Left group in the European Parliament, Albanese responded to Anadolu's question regarding the transfer of Palestinians to South Africa and whether she believes Israel is using this as a tool to empty Gaza.
50% : Israel had previously discussed with several countries, including South Sudan, the possibility of relocating Palestinians there.
48% : "I share your concern," she said, noting that Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has repeatedly referred to "voluntary migration," and the latest transfer aligns with such rhetoric.
39% : "But there is nothing as far from voluntary that what Israel is coercing the Palestinians into.
37% : I've already said before that I do believe that any suspension of active hostilities against Gaza or against the Palestinians without the enforcement of international law, might lead to helping Israel achieve the goals it was not able to achieve through the genocide, meaning continuing the ethnic cleansing through other means," Albanese said.
