EU Rejects Demographic or Territorial Changes in Gaza Strip

Brussels, MINA – The EU rejects any attempt to make demographic or territorial changes in the Gaza Strip, a European Commission spokesperson said Friday, responding to an Anadolu Agency question about statements by Israeli officials concerning plans to displace Palestinians from the enclave.

Christian Wigand stated that in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2735, “we reject any attempt at demographic or territorial changes in the Gaza Strip.” He also reaffirmed the bloc’s support for bringing Gaza and the occupied West Bank under a unified Palestinian Authority. “There should be no forced displacement of Gazans. Gaza is part and parcel of a future Palestinian state,” he added.

Wigand described inflammatory rhetoric as “unacceptable,” stressing that all parties should focus their efforts on de-escalation rather than fueling tensions.[]
