GENEVA: UN rights chief Volker Turk insisted Wednesday that deporting people from occupied territory was strictly prohibited, after US President Donald Trump’s shock proposal for the United States to take over Gaza and resettle its people.
“The right to self-determination is a fundamental principle of international law and must be protected by all states, as the International Court of Justice recently underlined afresh. Any forcible transfer in or deportation of people from occupied territory is strictly prohibited,” Turk said in a statement.

BEIRUT: A strike hit Beirut’s southern suburbs on Tuesday, state media reported, after the Israeli military renewed its warning for people to evacuate the area.
“Israeli warplanes launched a raid a short while ago on the southern suburbs, the first after the warning issued by the enemy,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said.
Footage on AFPTV’s live broadcast showed smoke rising from the southern suburbs, where Hezbollah holds sway, while the Israeli military said it began “striking Hezbollah infrastructure” in the area.
