Sa'ar confirms Israel will not expel Palestinians from Gaza Strip during visit to Slovenia
Sa’ar was present in Slovenia for the opening of the first Israeli embassy in the capital of Ljubljana and to meet with his Slovenian counterpart for the signing of a cooperation agreement
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar affirmed that Israel is not planning to expel any Palestinians from the Gaza Strip when asked if Slovenia would support efforts to move Gazans out of the territory, during a joint press conference with Slovenian Foreign Minister Tone Kajzer on Wednesday.
“First of all, we are not planning to expel or to deport anyone from the Gaza Strip,” Sa’ar emphasized, stating that his position is in line with international norms and laws.
He added that Israel would not force anyone to stay in Gaza and would not oppose Palestinians choosing to leave Gaza of their own volition if they are provided with an opportunity to do so.
