The White House said, Tuesday, that the US is not backing any “forced relocation” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports.
“We’re supporting efforts for safe passage for civilians in Gaza and those wishing to depart while making it clear that we will not support any forced relocation of Palestinians outside of Gaza,” National Security Council spokesman, John Kirby, told reporters.
